River fish are a completely different ballgame. They fight like they are on steroids and you have to deal with rocks and snags. Even fish in the teens can take over 100 yards of line and I've had many fish take over 20 minutes to get in. I use 11' cabelas predators, okuma epixor baitrunners (baitrunners are important unless your cool with your rod flying into the water), 50 lb power pro main line, 3' 60 lb floro shock leader, 2-3 oz lead and a 4" 50 lb power pro leader with my hook.
