Your tackle looks a little heavy for trout....but looks like you guys are having fun.!

x 2. Avet for trout may be a little overkill. Work with what u have. Tie on a barrel swivel and attach a 4lb Fluoro leader, maybe 6-10ft. Try trolling with a small rapala, kastmaster, needlefish, etc....

X3. Might want to purchase light weight (cheap rod and reel) 4lb line or at least what you use for a sabiki and some 2' to 3' of 4lb leader. Those trout can see really good in that clear water and tend to be shy. Good luck

If you hook into a 20 lb. trout, you're in good shape.
We usually use 6 lb. test line with an 1/8 oz. spoon. ![]()

I believe in being over prepared 😛 I do need to get some light gear as you guys have suggested ....it all takes time ...hell truth of the matter is I just love fishing even if I have the wrong setup...ignorance is bliss 😉

They have a K Mart in Big Bear and you should be able to pick up some cheap light gear for under $30 for each set. That's all you need for trout. just use 4lb to 6lb line.

Depending on how you are fishing, the avet is less overkill then you would think. Spool it up with lead core line, run a big Ford fender with a snubber and 24" of 4# floro. Then a little Rapala, worm or power bait and troll it around.
Last time I trolled for trout my go to reel was a Calcutta 400. Yeah the avet is a LITTLE overkill but whatever
