6’6 light action trout rod

[bugs n bones]

Lamiglass , st croix or fenwick . Opinions ??

I have a Fenwick HMX that I like. It’s not a light action but it’s a nice rod.

[jackelope]

Just looked. Mine is a 7’ medium light fast action. I’ve got a Pfleuger President XT #30 on it.

I’ve got that one, an Okuma SST and an Okuma Deadeye all in that general size range, and they’re all pretty decent rods for the $$.

They show one option in their “trout and Kokanee” page on the rod finder and it’s an 8’ Kokanee rod. Am I missing something?

The website needs updated but they have a trout series and will do custom builds as well.

I can tell you're not a real fisherman. A real fisherman would just buy all three Just kidding. You wouldn't go wrong with any of those three choices. All good rods. My pick in order would be Lamiglass, St. Croix, then Fenwick, but that is only my preference. I would fish any one of them any day of the week!

I have  2 8' ultralite Koke rods Lamiglas. They are tons of fun. Enjoying fishing with them for all kinds of fish  pan, trout. The tugs the DRUG!!!

I have the lamiglas infinity ultralight. Absulutely love it. It is pricey but was worth it for me. But there are some other good options on a more buget price such as okuma celilos, fenwick hmg, etc. I personally don't care for st criox rods but did like the feel of one of the ultra lights they had geared toward crappie though.

As far as the Infinity goes I do a lot of river fishing from small to big rivers for trout. And land trout up to 18 inches on a regular basis in rivers. And lake fish for trout and have caught bigger in lakes as well as small mouth up to 3.5 pounds. The sensitivity for trput and panfish is unmatched to anything else I have tried. Very light as well. And love the durability of the blanks. It handles bigger fish well but super light for small fish too.

After snapping off the tips of 3 higher end rods on a camping trip I purchased an Ugly Stik to fill in for the trip. Fish did not seem to notice the difference, and those are what I have been using since.
I do use good reels on them though.
Any of the ones you mentioned will work fine.

I have a Daiwa kokanee rod...7' 2-6lb.
Really nice action and surprisingly good guides and reel seat.
It's a casting rod and we troll small Wiggle Warts around the lake and the cutthroat nail them like Mako sharks.
16" cuts are too much fun on one of those.
It's for sale cheap if you're interested.

I'd never purchase a lamisnap, i mean lamiglass

Berkley Lightning Rod...Wont break the bank, very good rods, or at least they use to be. The last one I bought was a rod for Westport Salmon/Bottom fishing. And, it is just fine. Most of my lightning rods are getting pretty old now...

I would get that little Shakespeare 7’ micro rod, I’ve caught 15pound rainbows at Rufus woods on it and they’re only 15 bucks!

[85yota]

The only problem I've seen with the Shakespeare rods is they don't seem to cast as far as higher quality rods. When high lake fishing sometimes far is better. Otherwise I have beat the hell out of my Shakespeare and there hard to beat

[wadu1]

I'll add my  , I'm very happy with my Okuma rods and Daiwa's are not far behind.

St Croix

My wife bought me a 4 piece St Croix, and I have fished four different high mountain lakes now. I use my Lamiglas for big water, but the 6'6" St Croix is my stream/creek/high mountain lake rod for sure.

[boneaddict]

Orvis one weight.  Oh that wasn’t the question was it.   

[Cylvertip]

Bass Pro Micro Lite.  Many lengths.   Very affordable.  I have caught several 12- 15lb stealhead and an 18 lb coho on a 7'6 noodle rod throwing spiinners.

What is even funnier is the G loomis guys on the river salmon fishing always going and sending rods in for warentee while my lamituffs keeps on catching fish.
