Hello Fish00,
Welcome to the BFT message boards.
For Rainbows typically you want a light or ultra light set up. A smaller spinning reel with 2 to 6 pound test line. I like to go lighter if I am fishing any kind of bait (inflated night crawlers, power bait, worms, etc...) and heavier if I am fishing spinners (wardens rooster tails, mepp's, etc...). You'll waant to go heavier fishing the browns but I have not done a ton of brown trout fishing so someone else can probably give you more info on that one.
Good luck, and please drop back by and let us know how you do!
