[cool]NOPE. I'm sticking with my SNOOPY outfit. You need the really good tackle if you hope to land the big fish.
By the way, that 9 pounder is a baby compared to some of the big mamas that will be coming in to dine on the hatchery pet rainbows. They start planting those sometime around Thanksgiving each year, when the water temps drop below 65.
Guys that have the strength and stamina to chuck those big trout colored swimbaits all day hook lots of fish over 10#. I fish small stuff and hook a few of them each year too.
