Is 4 pound mono to light of line for a 4 year old to use for trout? the biggest trout maybe 2 poundsits The pole is 6 feet long. We are going to be bobber fishing in the morning.
Thanks

I would make sure the 4# is decent quality fresh line with properly tied knots; not many trout in lakes around here will break it.

:yeah: and he'll get WAY MORE bites with 4# than with 10#.

Being that most mono breaks at well over the stated strength,4lb is plenty.
And like was mentioned,you'll get more action on 4lb.

I've caught plenty of steelhead on 6 pound line, so you should have zero problems on trout with 4 pound.
Hopefully you're a little more skilled at fighting big fish on light line than the average 4 year old would be :chuckle:
But, yeah- your point is well made.

There's been plenty of times that I have wondered if I am as skilled as a 4 year old!
