Snatcher's Lake Edward Preview Part 2: Rods and Plan

 

The Plan: I will be blasting out in boat #1 with Ranger Arnie. He will forever be Ranger Arnie here at Bass Pundit, even though he is a part-time Snatcher now. This will be the first time I fish with Arnie as a Snatcher. I did draw him for my boater for the Challenge Cup on Platte/Sullivan back in 2019 when I got skunked. Arnie may have been skunked as well, but I think he caught one keeper bass. 

Arnie took two trips, prefishing for Edward, and did well fishing the cabbage, so that is where we will no doubt spend the majority of our time. I will start with a buzzbait, but quickly switch to a jig and Texas rig if Arnie is catching them and I'm not. If it's a tough bite, I'll go to a free rig, Ned, and Neko. 

Rods I'm bringing:
7'6" H Tatula (Jig)
7'4" H Tatula (Toad, Frog, Jig, Buzzbait) Just in case Arnie has a reed spot.
7'3" MH St. Criox Legend Tournament (Free Rig)
7' H St. Croix Avid (Texas Rig)
6'9" H Tatula Elite (FC) (Flukes, Neko,  Dark Sleeper, Chatterbait, Spinnerbait)
6'9" H Tatula Elite (Braid) (Jig, Chatterbait, Spinnerbait)
6'9" H Tatula Elite (Braid) (Dark Sleeper)
6'6" GLX 783 (Jig Worm, Dark Sleeper, Ned, Jerkbait, Paddletail) 

Spinning:
6'6" Abu Veritas (Neko Rig, Ned Rig)
