spinning rods

what length does every body like useing for inland trout? state length and brand and what type of water it is used on. mine is a 4 1/2 foot UL for smaller creek and river along with a 7 foot UL on the same water.

St. Croix AVID, 7' ML, Fast action-PERFECTION!

My primary rod is a 6' G Loomis fast action rated for 6-10 lb line and I run 10lb braided Power Pro only. Once in a while I'll add an extra spool of mono if I think the situation calls for it which is rare.

Often I fish "double barrel" where I haul around two poles. First hit with worms for a while, then hit it with spinners. Back and fort. Saves some time not having to re-rig and I just don't trust any swivel snaps these days.

My second pole is an old Eagle Claw Featherlight. Originally 6'6" I have lost two sections now and continue to fish it at ~ 5'6." Honestly a shorter rod and a lightweight rod like this has it's advantages when worming and when casting within thick brush. I find it easier to cast with a shorter rod in tight quarters.

If you are just out to catch trout don't worry about the right rod, just get out and fish. Majority of trout can be caught with any average pole, just a matter or preference and that you will acquire over time.

7' Mitchell meidum action rod with a Castalia Outdoors Sharkfin Reel.

Also have the Sharkfin Rod and Reel Combo. 6'0. I use the 7'0 alot more.

I use a 6 foot medium light St. Croix as my Primary stream rod (For medium and smaller streams where big fish are present) I also use a 6'6 medium Shimano Clarus for fishing for Large Browns. And for small creek and Brookie fishing I use a 5'6 ultra light St. Croix.

i use a 5'3 lite power fenwick fish eagle. tosses tiny spinners and handles larger raps. excellent rod for the money
