Bloomington and Putnam IL | Yep. Mainly fish with Zebco 33 for trout in Arkansas and in the Kickapoo creek in Illinois. Caught some MONSTER carp and flat heads with the 10# line and the small mouth still a good fight. Back when we had a lot of nice hybrid bass at lake Thunderbird, would "beef up" to the 20# test Zebco. Simple to use for the kids and cheap enough to trash when they get wore out. I almost always fish a live crawler with a weight above split shot sinker and move it around like a lure near the bottom. Works on almost all species.
