Spinning for the wife

[lonman219]

So my wife will be fishing next week with a spinning rig.  She's never fished for trout before.  Should I load it with 4lb flouro or 6lb flouro? 

Thanks

Spinning rods are usually fairly stiff so they don't have the flex that fly rods have to protect finer tippet. From a tippet-equivalent perspective, you are choosing between 6X and 5X. I definitely think you should go with the heavier line.

Agree.

Spoons are a reaction/aggression bite, so it doesn’t matter and bait is bait so it mostly doesn’t matter

Awesome!  Thanks.
