I used 10 lg test Spider Wire(casts like 4 lb test) on a 5 ft 6 in spinning rod. Caught cutthroat trout in Montana a 7 lb lake trout in Kulane NP in the Yukon. Had a lot of fun with Rainbows up to 22 in in Talkeetna lakes and the Russian river. Caught 2 15 lb Kings while fishing for Dolly Vardens. Grayling were also aggressive on spinners. Caught these fish along with 2 dozen or so salmon on the same rod and reel.
