thats all i would have dude, i use a clear float about 3/4inches long, i have a 7ft rod and a very cheap reel, i use a 18 hook with mixed maggots. you could try different style floats.

what is it you wanna catch? im new to it all but copy set ups ive seen that have caught perch, chub, roach, dace, etc.

Maybe some lures, or ledgers im not sure dude

Hi fishingkid,
welcome to the forum.

Have a look at this link which should give you the info you need for fishing a canal using a Float Rod, a Whip or a Pole.

I'm not really a lure fisherman; however someone else on here who is more experienced than me on lure fishing for Pike may give you some advice on fishing lures; or try asking in the Pike forum section.

Although I occasionally walk a length of canal using a light 7ft spinning rod and taking a few very small mepps spinners with me for catching decent sized Perch and the occasional Chub and It can be great fun.
