About all I take is two spinning rods and couple packs of curly tails and some small swim baits, both of which are made by Storm. That's really all you need! I'll throw the curly tails on 10lb line or less and usually catch sauger and white bass. I'll use 20lb. for the swim baits because that's what gets the bigger fish.

My buddy Eric has used a jig with some success on smallmouth a little bit farther down out of the heavy current, but that was in late summer. The thing about the falls is that you never know what you might catch!
