What is the best brook trout gear to own?<\/h2>\r\nThe equipment required to fish for speckled trout varies according to the fishing technique used and consists of a rod and reel, fishing line, lures, hooks and live or artificial bait.\r\nRods and reels for trolling, spinning, and dead sticking<\/h3>\r\nLook for a light spinning rod<\/a> that is about 6.5 feet long with a moderate action and a reel that fits well with the rod and is a size 2000 to 2500. If you're trolling, you'll want a light spinning rod with a fast action, so that it's stiffer.\r\n\r\nYou can also use a 5 to 5.5-foot (1.5 to 1.7 meters) ultra-light spinning rod and an ultra-light reel in the 500 to 1000 size range for a greater challenge and better feel, advises Claude Bissonnette.\r\nRods and reels for fly fishing for brook trout<\/h3>\r\nOpt for a fly fishing combo<\/a> including a rod that is 6-8 to 7-9 feet long with a reel made to hold 4-7 fly fishing line.\r\nTypes of fishing line<\/h3>\r\nClaude Bisonnette recommends using braided line<\/a> for trolling with a 8-20 lb resistance (from 3.5 to 9 kg), as this type of line does not stretch, is more resistant, and allows you to feel bites better.\r\n\r\nYou can also use monofilament<\/a> with a 4 to 8 lb resistance (from 1.8 to 3.6 kg), convenient for rigging your leader.\r\n\r\nFluorocarbon line<\/a> can also be used to mount your leader.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to fly line<\/a>, select 4 to 7."},{"acf_fc_layout":"nosto_products","content_anchor":false,"anchor_link_text":"","nosto_class_name":"blog_cp_trout-fishing"},{"acf_fc_layout":"nosto_products","content_anchor":false,"anchor_link_text":"","nosto_class_name":"cp_blog_fishing_fishing_rods_spinning"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"What are the best baits to use?","text_content":"What are the best baits to use?<\/h2>\r\nFish for brook trout using fresh, live earthworms for trolling, spinning, or dead sticking.
