Basically for garfish, you need light gear, i use a 9ft abu garcia light spinning rod with small carp reel loaded with 10lb line. any small float will do i use a free sliding carp controller, but a standard small sea fishing float will do. i use 8lb trace and its best to use a longer trace as it will wash around more in the tide and attract more attention. hook size must be small as they have small mouths, 6 or 8 is perfect, with small strips of mackeral being best bait. any bait will work but fish baits are better as they can be seen easier. ideal depth for gars is anywhere near the surface, from on the surface to 10ft deep.[/quote]
