New & second hand trout rods

New & second hand trout rods

For trout fishing you actually have three different rods you can use. But what is for you the best trout rod to buy?
First of all this depends on the fishing water. In the Netherlands for example most people fish for trout on paid trout ponds, because trout hardly exist in natural waters. For these ponds a telescopic trout rod is used, also know as tremarrela rod. This is a very light rod which has a length of about 3.90 M / 13 ft. Next to that the tremarella rod has a ultra thin and sensitive tip so the fish doesn't feel any resistance during a bite and therefore will fully go for your bait. The long length of that rod makes it ideal for fishing with a glass float or a regular float for trout, because these floats have a very low weight and are therefore hard to properly cast with a short rod. These rods are these days also used for trolling a small piece of trout bait. The disadvantage of this rod is that is less suitable for using it with (small) lures. For lures you have to use a spinning rod.

The spinning rod is also a rod which is used a lot for trout fishing. The ideal spinning rod for trout fishing is a small, light spinning rod with a length of 1.80 M till 2.40 M (6 till 8 ft). The rod is used especially for small lures like spinners or cranckbaits. A casting weight of about 3 till maximum 30 gram is perfect for this. The advantage of a spinning rod is also that you can cast a lot further because of the higher casting weight. 
To assemble the best trout rod set we advice you to use a light and small trout spinning reel. A size 500 or 1000 is enough.
Next to the above rods, you can also fish with a fly rod for trout. A way of trout fishing which is mainly used on mountain rivers or lakes. Of course the fly rod can also be used on the paid trout ponds. Go the this page to see which fly rod you need for trout fishing with a fly rod.
