This will be mainly for trout park and trout stream fishing. I like the enjoyment of wrestling with a trout on 2 lb test, gives it a little more of a challenge.
On the braid subject, I have all my bass spinning reels spooled with braid. But am afraid to do that to the trout stuff because of the wind issue. A bow in the line with a small marabou jig would make that jig float a lot higher then I would want. I do appreciate the info Ham, you seem to have a lot of good knowledge and insight.
