Fiberglass or Carbon for BFS Trout?

[Hobie-Wan Kenobi]

I use a mix of rods depending on the situation. Each have their place and overlap some depending on the angler's preference.

What rods are you using for BFS trout fishing and why?

I listened to your youtube video on a run this morning. Very nice - thank you. I agree with you on most if not all points. I had high hopes for glass rods for my bfs trout fishing, but I need casting distance and found that glass will not replace my carbon rods that give a few feet if not yards extra. I can get enough "give" by using mono, so I only use glass rods on those rare days...

Good point. Sometimes faster carbon rods that have give with some force flick lures quite a distance.

Sure it does. Tsurinoya Trout Master 4'7" (which is made high modulus carbon) casts the farest I have tried in it's class. Lastly I fished in a Creek, which is 60+ m broad. I was disappointed in the beginning that I had 4'7" rod in there and in the place where I actually thought to go, were occupied. But soon after winter shape of casting I found that I can easily cast over middle of Creek, with a 7,5 gram weighted leech. So actually I didn't need any longer rod in that place. That lure is a little over weight limit of that rod, but it was really easy to cast, because full power couldn't be used.
