Question

i go fishing in my cousins lake and catch small trout and things what is the best rod and tackle or bait to use to catch them

Answer 1

a small 4 foot 6 inch to a 5 foot lite rod, like a berkley lightening rod and a small spinning reel, 2-6 pound test line, an live worms, or the spinners or power bait(orange or green paste)...they are some of the best baits and there are many  more!

Answer 2

By far the most fun way to catch trout is fly fish for them.

Answer 3

I'm not sure about the names of fishing rods, but Nitro dough works well for trout fishing.

Answer 4

A small rod. I never have fished for trout but I do fish for bream and they are small. I use crickets for live bait and I use small artificial bait for the other.

Answer 5

you will have better fun with a 13ft model like we use in Europe and bait wise i would use maggots fished shallow under a float.

Answer 6

You have to decide how much $$$ you want to spend. If you don't fish much (2-3 x year) go to Sportmart and buy a small ultralight rig for about $25-30. I like to use a 5 foot rod and a small spinning reel for the most fun. Use 4 pound test fishing line. Power bait, worms, and even marshmallows work for planted Trout. If you have access to a boat you can troll for them using a variety of artificial lures. Go to the local sporting goods store and ask them.
