trout fishing setups
Spinning Rods – Which to buy?
I have spent the last 20 using nothing but fly rods, so the last time I actually used a spinning setup, I really didn’t pay all that much attention to the rod types. I would like to get back into using spinning equipment from time to time.
I’d like to get two rods, which would be mostly used for river fishing for trout bass and bluegill, but also the occasional lake trip. So, if you were going out to purchase two rods for the above mentioned fishing, which length and action would you choose for each?
I appreciate any and all recommendations.
Thanks!!!!
You could get 6′-6″ light action and then a Medium Action in the same length and you would be set up with rods that handle anything from 6 – 10 lb line, depending on the make, and model of the manufacturer.
Brand choice is going to depend on how much you are willing to spend. Check out Bass Pro Shop
