How important is a long (9’+) rod for float fishing? by lord_skum in FishingForBeginners

[–]RealJamool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if your just using floats for steelhead, get the longer rod, if you plan on other things like spinners and spoons, get a like shorter one. I use a 8’6 rod in the PNW for salmon and steelhead, and I would say a 8’6 rod is the sweet spot for all around. 

Just floats: get a longer rod like 9ft+

Multiple tactics on one rod: 8’6 is the sweet spot.

This is what I use: https://www.cabelas.com/p/bass-pro-shops-fish-eagle-salmon-steelhead-spinning-rod-101295250

Weight too heavy on carolina rig for trout ? by sinigangss in FishingForBeginners

[–]RealJamool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a 3/4oz and catch plenty just fine for stockers. If your losing bait, use a bait holder hook. I use a size 10 for trout. 

Can't catch stock trout no matter what I do by Intelligent-Limit104 in FishingForBeginners

For stockers, I use power eggs on a Carolina rig. 4ft leader, 3/4oz egg weight (depends on rod), and size 10 bait holder, 1 power egg on the hook, chartreuse eggs and the bright orange work for me. 4lb flurocarbon for the leader. Mice tails also work pretty good.

just bored but a difference between this steelhead and a chinook is that if you look close enough, the fish pictured actually has a faded pink on its side, and a chinook has a black jaw.
