azmill - Most people are using rods that can cast 1-2 oz of sinker along big baits. (this is for trouts set up)
Bass set up, is basically same.
For you, I might say, use 6-8 feet rod with 10-15 pounds line. that basically easy set up for cast the 1-2 oz sinker/baits.
(I use ultralight 10 feet rod with 4 pound fluorocarbon line. Along with 3/4 oz sinker. for trout or bass. too light for almost everyone. but perfect set up for me.)

I got my set up at dicks, nothing special or expensive. 7' Heavy action rod, reel that can hold 300 yes of 50lb braid and able to toss 1oz weights. I use same hooks as I do from senkos. Rod and reel combo cost me $20. They have work for me handling the lakers and smallies and won't break the bank.
I was in dicks the other day and they were on sale too.

Rods: 2 pc 8-8 ft Black Beautys Line: 50lb Power Pro Yellow with 15lb Flouro Leader. Hooks: 3/0 - 4/0 Short Shank Wide Gap Red. Weights: 2 1/2 oz Teardrop NON LEAD Boag Hog Specials ( thanks J) Bait: BIG 4 - 7 inches Unless you can get 12 - 14 inch Golden Pondiies MMMMMM
Your set up should be able to handle a small Dog, if not, heartbreak is waiting...

You can attach a Craw to a hook by wrapping a rubber band around the Craw at the point the tail meets tbe body. You may have to wrap the band a few times. This will keep it alive longer. This is like candy to bass...it's almost like cheating. I only use it with my kids.What's the best way to fish live craws, right on the bottom or under a bobber? What do they run, dollar a piece?
I rubber banded a mouse and it bit me as I squished it in my hand. what, it hurt hahahahaha I do fish in the wind, you have to or you never get to fish, but I like it up and over my back!! hahaha In my face is ok up to 10 mph, after that, time to move. left to right from 6-9 is ok also. White Caps travel far and hard at the Res, and with so many other spots, I myself like none to less than 10mph We Fish Live/Dead Bait and It's always big, thats what's great about the Res, you can get out of the wind.
Just my opinion, I have had some great luck over the last 8 yrs!!
