New trout rod for my father.

How small is your rod and how light is your line? It's not about the size of your tackle, but how you work it. Come share your Ultralight and Bait Finesse System (BFS) fishing success here!

New trout rod for my father.

Post by Isaiah20 » Wed Oct 19, 2016 10:58 pm

I am looking for a rod for my father. He wants a 6'6" to 7" rod for trout in the 130-150$$ range. He was thinking St Croix Premeir but I know that rod is to soft for his liking. I was thinking 6'9" Fenwick RR Light power. Any other options?

If he is wanting a faster action rod compared to standard trout rods, the RR would be a good bet. You could also find a host of good Major Craft offerings in that length and price range.....Corzza's, Volkey's and Benkei's come to mind.

i know this is probably too late & you've already got a trout rod for your Dad, but.....

i think a Daiwa Presso 7' is hard to beat! 2-piece or 4-piece. Both are great rods for the money.

by the way, what did you end up getting?
