I will put my two cents in here since all I fish for is trout and all I know. I use a 9' rod with 2 lb test SOS line and most times I use two different floro leaders. When I started using the 9' rod with micro guides my casting distance improved over old type of guides and a 6' rod. I change out my line after 4 to 6 fishing trips.It also has to do with how many I catch.If I catch over 100 each trip I will change after 4th trip.
How I use floro is I will tie a 5' piece of 2 lb test T M floro and then tie around 3 to 4' piece of Seaguar 6X floro. Since I started doing this I numbers have increased according to my fishing diary.
However,like I said earlier I only fish for trout and I am always looking for ways to improve my numbers and size.Being retired also gives me plenty of time to work at this.
Fishing for larger trout is a different story.
