Tell Us About Your Favorite Trout Rod

Do you guys ever get sick of hearing about all the gear that we like to use? Well now is your chance to let us know your thoughts! The question I am about to pose is very simple yet up for a ton of debate.

What is your favorite rod to use when fishing for trout?

Now I know this is question encompasses a HUGE range of rods that are good for a variety of situations. Are you a fan of rods in the lightweight class (0-3wt) to rods on the heavier side of things (6-7wt)? Do you like to throw tiny dries to wary fish or chuck big meaty streamers for predators looking for a big bite? There is no wrong answer here. We would love to hear what you think. Comment below or via our Facebook page.
