Thread: What line to use for trout

I used to get the kids out on the lawn - spin rod - I would thread a piece of about half inch square jandal with a holed drilled thru it up against hook to avoid hook guide hits - then just a small lead pellet and a bit of rag - gives them lots of practice before actual river work - put out a paper plate and see how close they could cast to it - grab line pretend to be a fish gets them used to using a drag - they used to enjoy it - but they were competitive buggers
