trout rod = 6.5 to 7ft med light action with a fast tip... the action you need will vary for throwing top water or plastics...

Any good name brand rod with a medium action is a good all around trout/redfish rod. Most people prefer a medium light or even light action rod for trout. For the reel,you can't go wrong with any shimano product.

Same setup as pox for jigs (with Curado 200E7)
7ft medium "Cajun Limb" feels like fast action for jerks, tops etc... w/curado 200E7 7'2" Shimano Crucial medium spinning with Shimano Saros 3000 for popping cork All of my bass stuff is 7ft medium heavy or heavy / fast or extra fast. I use 20lb powerpro for salt and 50lb for bass. |

i tell you what man if your looking to budget it's hard to beat the 50 dollar all star and castaway medium light academy specials. put a shimano citica on it and go to town. i have a couple all star 6'-5" wader specials that are a light sensitive little stick for 49 bucks. i use a medium action for throwing plugs. medium light can do jigs and plugs |

For fishing line......most trout fishermen use a 12 mono [sometimes a little heavier] or some use 20 or 30 lb braided line. If you go with too heavy of a line.....you will not get as many "hits". Light line = more lure action. Most of your "Bass" lures will catch Reds.....but the hooks need to be changed to something made for Saltwater so it will not rust after the first time you use the bait. Use a strong hook.......a big Red will staighten out most "Bass" hooks. Set the drag light helps. |

Red Devil........another tip. When catching Specked Trout, forget Bass style "set the hook" jurk on the rod. This will just pull the hook out of the fishes mouth.
There was a thread on this subject a few months ago. Most Trout fishermen just reel up the slack fast and raise the rod tip to straight up.....not "jurk" the rod tip. |

I agree with Salty on this one. I set the hook about 1/4 as hard as I do on bass, but I definitely set the hook. My light action rod absorbs a lot of the shock so the hook does not tear the fishes mouth. When fishing treble hook baits I tighten the line and put pressure on the fish.
