Your trout rig
An old fishing bud once told me when I asked how he fishes his spoons,
"Throw as far as you can, and reel in as fast as you can"
He proved it many times with full stringers of trout.
I fish with spoons almost exclusively in the surf, but I will throw topwaters before day break or rig a finger mullet rod
so I can sit in my comfy chair and watch it later in the day.
I never measured the distance I can cast a 3/4oz, but with a north wind behind me it can be difficult to see it land.
My rig of choice has been the same for years, a Gloomis 6, 1/2ft with a Curado 200 on it
20lb braid
Once those bearings get warmed up I have no fear of firing it out, HARD
Now if only the surf temp would just rise a bit more,
Trout fever is a horrible disease
