We recommend using a light or ultralight action rod with a fast tip anywhere from 6-9 feet long. For reels we recommend a 500 or 1,000 series open face spinning reel.
The SLS is a light action 2-piece 6'6" IM6 graphite rod. This is what we recommend for first time users as well as experienced anglers. It features a solid backbone with a really fast tip that is essential for casting light lures like the Trout Magnet. The SLS is rated for 2lb-6lb test and 1/64oz-1/8oz lures. This is also our "go to" rod for fishing the D2 Jigs.
The B'N'M TCB (Trout, Crappie, Bluegill) is a 2-Piece 6'6" rod. The TCB features an ultralight action with a split handle to reduce weight. The TCB was designed specifically for using light line. This is a great option for anglers who want a more ultralight expeirence on the water.
The Trinity Series is a very high end 2-piece 9 foot light slow action rod. The Trinity was designed specifically for fishing the Trout Magnet under a float. The Trinity features a split grip handle and a modified reel seat for increased sensitivity and control.
The Ballo 1,000 series reel is our "go to" reel. It has six ball bearings and features an aluminum spool a 5:2:1 gear ratio and an anti-reverse switch to help prevent line twist.
