What would be a better fishing rod/reel combo for trout 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 and have it prespooled to take with you. 1 spool 2 pound and 1 spool 4 pound then you if the 2 pound proves too thin, you are ready in a heart beat, changed and back fishing in three minutes. Take both rods and have two spools for the southbend as well. Then put 6 pound and 8 pound on each spool for that one.
