what size do you use for trout

I normally use 8's or 10's for "pan sized" trout or "stalkers". My favorite bait anymore for those types of trout are using 2 or 3 or the rainbow colored power eggs by Berkley Power Bait. You put on enough to float them off the bottom and set your depth 1 to 3 feet so the float above the weed line. I also like adding a Gold label Pautzke egg on the tip of the hook. The rubber eggs I slide up the shank otherwise they can be hard to set the hook through. I have had so much success with this setup that there are times I am the only one catching fish at local lakes. For larger trout I use 6's or 4's and do the same sort of setup but with marshmallows and night crawlers. Hope this answers your question and helps you catch more fish!! Good luck!!

I would say about the same size hook as you would for whiting. A 6 or an 8.

I wouldn't recommend anything bigger than 1/0. I haven't fished trout in a while though. these hooks do run a bit small though.

I believe the 7". For the price u can do what I did buy the 9" for bigger fish. Well worth the price on Amazon. Good lord.

I fish the Ocuma 7-14 LB usingBucktails and Crappie jigs. 1/16 -1/2 ozGet a heavier rod for larger weight jigs

Well you can I would use at least 30lb test fishing line. I would make sure that you tie good knots in the line, so the line does not slip through and it falls

I generally use 3 sizes of hooks for soft plastics - 1/0, 3/0, and 5/0. I use 1/0 for 4-inch worms, Senkos, etc., 3/0 for your average 7-inch plastic worm(but NOT 5-inch Senkos), and 5/0 for 5-inch Senkos, not because of the length, but due to the girth of these 'do-nothing' worms(AWESOME fish-catchers! I can't even count how many fish I haver caught on Senkos). I also use the 5/0 hooks for flipping baits, like magnum tubes, Brush Hogs, etc.

I have this rod and have caught everything from large panfish (bream, crappie) to small bass. I have also caught both fresh and saltwater trout. It all depends on what size leader and tippet you use and how much you are willing to finesse a big fish.

I have found the shrimp to be TOO big for speckled trout, Spanish mackerel, I don't know how many in a jug maybe 12-15?,

For me I have found that the best fit, feel, and the best response is using a 7' fast or extra fast rod. That's just me. Brand of rod is a personal preference thing......Daiwa or G-Loomis.

The reel size depends on how you want to fish. Big fishes need bigger reel butthe reel isnt too big if its a spinning reel. So its not too heavy. If you ate using a conventional reel then size makws a difference in weight and size. Smaller reel have weaker drag fir smaller fish. Bigger size reel had stronger resistance and hold moreline. I just bought a medium size reel using 30lb and fush would drag alll my line and I would have to sacrifice a hook in order not to losea spool of line. Big fishes need bigger reel so it can fit more bigger line. Smaller fish in lakes and river wouldnt need those. I would go for a bigger reel if I had to buy again. Its not so much bigger if its a spinning reel. The reel size depends on how you want to fish. Big fishes need bigger reel butthe reel isnt too big if its a spinning reel. So its not too heavy.

All of the hooks that I have used for trout fishing have been very small, therefore it is of my opinion that this remover would be a little large for such a small hook. (I use forceps on trout)Yet it could possibly work. I've used it only on largemouth bass....Worked great.. Good luck fishing....

My rod was 7ft. / you can use up to 30lb test with good results ,if you will be mostly fishing for bass in open water , I would suggest 14lb test . hope this helps you , God Bless

Based on flex, I'd say medium. But for durability and fish size you'd safely be able to reel in before it breaks I'd say light.

I would get the SLV 56. It's still small enough for trout, but you could also use it for a shooting line system if you really get into fly fishing.

I used a 1" OD for mine but for a friend of mine i just used one from Menards. Bronze colored 4ft poles. It was a tight fit but worked great.

Depending on the size of the reel, yes. I use 6-8 test line and a Skeet Reese finesse tube rod for trout.
