Thanks to all for the info. I guess that I have sort of taken up sturgon fishing for a few reasons. I started out my fishing life as a do or die fly fisherman. That was cool for about 6 or 8 years and then I screwed up and started fly fishing for steelhead. Then I really screwed up and caught a few.. Then it was years of steelhead fishing and nothing else would do, That has taken me to some pretty remote locations and will always be what I live for ( I also found along the way that a fly rod was just one way to catch a steelhead ) The family is growing up and I needed to spend more of my fishing time with them and other people around me so I am trying to branch out and try some other stuff that is geared toward that end. Its a kick to take some one who does not fish much and hook a sturgon.. it just blows their mind when that thing comes to the back of the boat.. hell and we have only caught them around 5-6 ft long !!!! Steelhead are what I live for and that won't change but its been fun looking around !!!

P.S- I went and got my rods re-rigged as suggested and am greatfull for that info.
