Trout/Redfin setup

[lachie.snow]

G'day guys, I'm just after some suggestions for a trout/redfin setup for roughly $250-$300.
Most of my current set ups are either fairly heavy rods for Murray Cod or ultralight setups for small trout streams. I am after a setup for trout fishing in larger streams/rivers and lakes. It will also be for redfin mainly in dams/lakes.

Thanks in advance :thumbsup: :cheers:

Mate I run a Daiwa Gen Black Itchy Twitchy 1-3kg with a Daiwa Exceler 2000 for that kind of fishing. Both the rod and the reel are fantastic for the price. I run 6lb braid and have never had a problem.

Thanks mate. Yeah I have been looking at the diawa gen blacks.

To be honest, for a light value for money set up you could look at a Pfleuger Trion 1-3kg which can be had for under 100 bucks on special and pair it with a Shimano Symetre 1000 with some quality 4-6lb braid.

Nice light stick with enough guts for the bigger models, smooth reel and can cast it all day

My 1-3kg veritas spooled with 6lb spider wire and has pulled in 5 and 7kg carp.

For trout n Redfin my outfit is a drunkn monkey and an aird 1000 which was 200 buck total but got both from guys on here

I have a Daiwa Presso 1-3kg light weight 6'6'' rod with a Daiwa Exceler 2004H reel filled with 4 lb All Bass mono for trout fishing.. Also have a couple of Team Daiwa 1-3kg 6' light weight rods with Daiwa Revros 1003 reels filled with the same line as above..

Meppstas post reminded me that I actually use an Exceler DX. Different reel to the regular exceler

I use a majorcraft t702m and a stradic ci4+ (about to be either a luvias or certate 2004 a 2004h would be better but doesn't suit my other needs) for trout and most of my light fishing duties. the rod is brilliant although it is a touch long if you want to fish small streams. you can get away with a much cheaper reel but i would recommend putting a bit of $$ into the rod.
