Best Rods for Trout

(1/2) > >>

CaptHoss:
I'm from Montana and the predominant species in my area is trout most are 10"-20" but there are some real hogs.  I fish a lot of different ways, spoons, raps, dead sticks, and finesse plastics mostly.  I am curious about some specific rod choices for trout in my area, something versatile as I don't want to drop a bunch of money on multiple specialty rods.  I like a light tip, maybe L or ML rods. 13 Fishing? TUCR?  St. Croix? Thanks just looking to talk rods

I like and recommend the Ugly Stik GX2 in 53" (4 ft 6 in) size.  Model USSP461UL.

Short enough to be manageable, long enough to aid in fighting a large trout, good action, durable rod.  If i wished for anything different it would be larger guides toward the tip.

Not sure what a lot of money is.   I just bought myself a light action 38" tickle stick for Christmas. The tip is very light (Kind of like a built in spring bobber) and the rod has nice back bone.   Haven't used it yet, but should handle 20inchers with the occasional hog.

LOL...….guess I need to look at the date next time.
