Since I'm from Minnesota, I've never used a sucker rig. I'll be fishing the whole month of May in Wisconsin, so I'm gonna need a few sucker rigs for my second rod. What rod do you guys use for suckers? (fiberglass or fiberglass/graphite is necassary) For this early in the season, what size suckers would you use? What quickstrike rig would you use for that size of suckers?

Thanks

Use the topic "search" on the top of this page. There are many old topics already talked about on this subject.

There are many good quicksets out there, Land a lakes and the Maina lift off rigs are some of the best. Just use a good 7' rod with a 6500-c3 and you should do just fine. Mostly, almost 90% of the time, sucker fishing in Wisconsin is done in late fall.

Suckers work as good early in the year as they do late many times. I like the smaller ones(9-12"), and keep one under the boat about 5-8 feet as you work your normal structure. Make sure you use a quick strike so you can set right away. Most of the fish I've seen in the spring time eat a sucker alot quicker, so be ready to set.
