X4 another nail in the coffin! Worth buying a cheapo reel pre-rigged at a bait shop for what you're doing this weekend. Catching trout or any fish for that matter is fun on the lightest gear. Good luck on day 2, keep us posted!

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
