First off, I want to thank everyone for some helpful information on bass fishing. I've been having fun all summer in Virginia. I'm looking forward to the upcoming trout season and the wild trout in the mountains; however, I will fly fish in the mountains. I just have a few questions on fishing for stocked trout.
I just ordered a new spinning combo. I was limited to only Okuma. (never had any products, but look reliable) I purchased a 7' SST Rod Ultralight with a Ceymar C-30 Spinning Reel. Now that i'm a little more hardcore to fishing and i'm starting to learn more about all the miscellaneous gear/tackle available to increase success. For instance, fishing line. Since I am going ultra light on my trout set up, what do you think would be the best line to spool up my reel? My head is hurting because there so many options. My first instinct would be braid main line and fluoro leader. Would 8# braid with 4#leader fluoro be overkill? I read a few articles of braid not functioning correctly on a spinning reels. I then read some post about Fireline. I just started using cheap braid/ fluoro leaders for bass with a BC reel and seem to get a lot more hook ups so I know theres a method to this madness. Just trying to figure out if braid will bring me more fish or misery on a spinning reel. Or if its not kosher with an ultralight set up and go straight low# mono. thanks
