What would be a better fishing rod/reel combo for trout fishing?

Aug 27, 2009 by redcore | Posted in Fishing

I am debating whether to use my light action 5'6 storm fishing reel/rod. Or my R2F Southbend fishing combo which is medium action 6'6. Both have 5.2:1 reels.


I think the 6' 6" would be overkill for trout , but if you are fishing lake trout that might need a little more backbone and length to wear the fish down. In addition for the light action see if you can find a replacement spool for that storm reel
