Sea trout spinning rod
Looking to get a sea trout spinning rod, was thinking between 8-9 ft rated for lures of 7-25g. Any suggestions welcome. Will mostly be fishing estuaries.

A bit like how long is a piece of string nowadays there's so much choice on lure rods. I would stick to 8' rather than 9', I think longer rods lose "the feel" as they get longer. I use 7' rods mostly myself. What sort of budget have you in mind?

Re: Sea trout spinning rod
Can be solely dependent if you're wading into the said estuary. If you mainly stand at the waterline and/or estuary is subject to strong currents, then yes, 8/9 foot would do - can even double as a pollack bashing tool. If you like to wade and get amongst the fish - 7/8 foot 5-15gr
