line type for trout fishing........

[Bear44]

Just my two cents but I never use a leader when freshwater fishing unless of course I’m fly fishing. Salt, yes, but from braid to barrel to leader. On the rare occasion I trout fish with conventional equipment, I use 4 lb mono.

I find the benefits of braid (casting distance and sensitivity) outweigh the hassle of needing a leader.

Where are you fishing for trout that you need distance? The Great Lakes?

I have a better suggestion. Go fishing instead of asking so many questions about it on the internet. It’s the best way to learn. May take a little longer. May cost a little more. But you’ll come out better for it. Go fish.

i cant say ive ever seen a guy come on to anothers thread and tell them to
stop asking so many questions. i cant imagine what it takes in the head and chest
of ones self to even do that. hell, who knows maybe im taking it wrong.

You are. And written word, especially on this forum, is very often misinterpreted so no harm no foul. Just go fishing. Try new things and enjoy the successes and failures. Failures are the best learning tool there is.
