    I use Eagle Claw King Kahle 10/0 when I fish the Ohio river. I use big baits and I prefer to set the hook.

    I will have to make visit to BPS. I use 4/0 or 5/0 Kahle for Striper fishing at Cumberland. Remember fishing there back in the late 80's when the Striper was still not well known and wow... when the rod would go down you were like "IT IS ON". We have been going since then hope it gets going close to what it was with the lake coming up.

    Looking getting on the Ohio River for Catfish(live in Louisville) and getting into some of the big ones... all catch and release.

    Thank you for the responses.....

    I love the Gamakatsu Natilus circle for cats and stripers on Cumberland. I have had better luck with these than with octopus circle hooks. The only thing is Bass Pro in Clarksville don't carry them so I have to order them from Bass Pro or Cabela's.
