Best spinning rod setup for Oregon

[ThymallusArcticus]

Can anyone tell me what the best spinning setup is for the trophy/unique rainbow trout in Oregon is? I'm level 14, but have the Father's Day dlc.

Thanks

jigwinner 270 is good and calisto 3000 sport will get the distance you need:D arora is fun too also i use the ul stuff a lot there it makes the fights so much more funn :D

I caught a trout with the Aurora 250, but had to alt f4 because it was going to break me. I tried the 270, but couldn't reach far enough. Currently I have 0.25mm mono on and I can only reach about 48m, so what can I use to cast 60m or more and being able to cast 1/0 and narrow spoon?

use braid it casts a little further i have uni on .13(3.5kg)ul braid what i do is if the fish is pulling(reel clicks)stop reeling and either lift/turn rod to side or hold rmb till it stops running then reel in when i can if starts running again repeate but if you reel while the fish is pulling it will pay out line quicker

Agreed. I honestly believe that NOT using this method is whats causing people to get "spooled"

I've played the game since it was released on Steam last year....Created a new account because I was bored being a high level.

So....I do know not to reel in when I have a fish on. The trout just kept on going. I was using a bad setup that's all.

Thank you. I tried the line you mentioned and it's better than what I had on. I can only use the narrow spoons as they can be cast over 60m.

Using the Jigwinner 8'11 and the EspiraMLR 2000 or 3000 and any type of 10 pound line as well as keeping both left and right mouse buttons pressed while fighting a trout you should not have any problem with being spooled. All it takes for a trout to stop running is a good solid yank to the opposite side that the trout is on.

THIS!
NEVER reel unless your drag is 'clean' so to speak.
This is the number one thing to learn when fishing for big fishes!!
I have spent a better part of my adult life fishing for shark, sailfish, and other ocean bound fishes of 100lbs+. This is the ONLY way to reel stuff in of this caliber.

Of course I tried it ingame once I got to the big fishes, and it works WONDERS.
My biggest alli gar to date is 77.4lbs...thing was never able to get to more than 200ft or so.
Had I been reeling without a clean drag he could have come close to spooling my 435ft of line.

If you reel with a loaded drag the rate a fish can take line is about 2-3 times they would be able to if the drag is left to work on its own.
