Gear for this water

It has been a while since the trucks came. The holdovers have spread out and wised up; downsize and fish natural.

For the catfish (channel catfish stocked 1 time here in 2026, stillwater)

Cut bait and prepared baits	fresh cut shad or chicken liver; scent is everything
Rod holders	catfishing is a waiting game; fish two rods where legal
Medium-heavy rod	7 ft medium-heavy, 15 to 20 lb line, sturdy reel

Suggestions follow from what the state actually stocks here and what kind of water it is, nothing else. No sponsored placements.
