Dillo Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Im thinking of buying a 5 foot 6 ultra light 2 piece stcroix triumph to upgrade from the old Shakespeare starter kit rod (all that is left of that combo). Is this a good rod for stream trout? I want an ul because I had a light rod and had trouble casting a 1/32 oz powerbait atomic teaser jig to the other side of the stream. I would also use it for sunfish in my local pond. Im also on a bit of a budget, 90 is about my max.Is this rod a good idea? Quote
RatCog Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 I have used my 6'6 medium power fast action triumph spinning rod by st. Croix with good success for trout. I like the slightly heavier rod for powering through brush if I get hung up. I hate having to get in the water and spook fish to untangle my lures - I'd rather rip it out of the brush. Quote
