Good trout rods?

Hi guys, I am looking for a trout rod that will last awhile. I would like it to be 2 piece and between $100-$200 thank you in advance.
Cheers

You can't go wrong with the Gen Black rods from Daiwa great rods for a reasonable price :thumbsup:

I've heard a few people say the Presso is a good rod. Personally I'd just find out what meppstas uses and go with that

If you are looking for a specific trout rod I would avoid the gen black series as they have a fast action that isn't really suitable. The best rod I know of within your budget available in Aus is the presso (the 662 is more suited to general purpose work) and i f you can stretch your budget or find one on sale the presso iprimi.

Thanks guys might go with the presso and what reel would go well with that?

Where do you usually go to fish for trout? Bigger rivers? smaller creeks?

I use a Daiwa Heartland XA 7ft ULFS 2 piece for wider rivers and for spinning with flies, because of the extra length it flicks really light lure/flies easily.
And a Daiwa Presso which is 6ft which I use in smaller rivers and creek for flicking small spinners, hard bodies and plastics.

Both rods are in that 1-3kg 2-4kg range I think.

All the cool kids put shimano reels on Daiwa rods so if you get the Presso you should look at a symetre 1000 or something like that

Have a look at the Daiwa Presso rods which are nice and in your price range or the NS Black hole hurricane trout rods. They are really nice also and under $150 from CH Smith marine.
I'd go either a Daiwa 1500 or 2000 (I use a daiwa 2000) or a 1000 size shimano reel with some nice 8lb or 10lb braid.
