I haven't used anything but a flyrod for so many years that I don't even own anything else. But Grandad taught to take a couple of ice rods along in the boat. Crickets drowned deep, bee moths, meal worms, red worms, heck, we used to drown minnows on the little rods for crappie in the summer. Caught a lot of bluegill and perch close to the boat like that.

Wonder if that would work under the float tube or if I'd spook 'em?:cwm27:
