For eyes I like the Jason Mitchell 28" Walleye rod. They have a pretty good deal with the combo.
Sounds like your fishing out of a perm. I hop around from lake to lake with my otter lodge but I also have a perm close to home on a lake with a good night bite. Of coarse I'll have a buddy or two out fishing with me. Point is I'm tuned into the techniques and presentations for which the house sits and they are not. Lucky for me I get a mixed bag of eyes and crappies.
It never fails, while I'm unhooking fish I'll hear "Hey you got another one of those I can use?" Well if you know me I'll say "Sorry Dude last one :)" IMO the 1/8th Go
devils are a great one two knock out punch for both eyes and crappies.
Eventually like a good host should I'll "borrow" them a Go
devil which I won't see again. Good thing they're relatively cheap and sold in a card of 12.
