trout fishing with powerbait setup

here is my setup for catching trout from the bank. this method usually is good for most bank fishing for stocked trout. * pole * -- I use a 7' to 7'6" light action rod. I prefer the longer rod because it lets me cast farther. * reel * - I use a penn battle 2 2500, plus a shimano 2500 size. anything bigger is just too much. these are stocked trout, so they aren't aggressive fighters. * line * - 6# test mono, and 20# braid. * leader * - 6# test mono * hooks * - #10 all the way up to #4. I was using gamakatsu bait holder hooks and octopus hooks. for a bigger hook, you want to add at least 3 even 4 power eggs so it will be buoyant enough to float your hook high above the bottom. (always make sure your bait floats). * bait * - powerbait power eggs. there's something about these eggs that stock trout love. from experience, colors really don't matter, but, use whatever your like. just make sure you get the floating ones.
