Hey, I was wondering when all of you talk about you castaic trouts if you are using the jumbo jointed one, or the swimbait style one. I just saw some of the smaller swimbaits and they look killer, and at about 10$ a pop, even i can afford them after a new rod and reel. I think that i will spend the extra money and get a sedona 500 or 1000. I also saw a nice pacifichawk rod that is light enough for a great fight. What do y'all think?
