I love both stream trout fishing and bass fishing. There are quite different fishing tackles and skill involved. Here is my experence,
When it comes to rod and lure selection, there are a few key differences between stream trout fishing and stream bass fishing.

Rod Selection:

For stream trout fishing, a lighter weight rod is typically used, typically in the range of 2-6 weight or L, UL power. This is because trout are smaller fish and are typically caught in smaller streams and rivers, where a lighter rod is more suitable for making delicate casts and presenting smaller lures or flies.

For stream bass fishing, a slightly heavier rod is usually required, typically in the range of 6-8 weight or M power. This is because bass are generally larger and more aggressive fish that require more power to land. A heavier rod is also necessary for casting larger lures and presenting them in deeper water.

Lure Selection:

For stream trout fishing, smaller lures and flies are typically used, such as dry flies, nymphs, and small spinners, small crankbait. These lures are designed to imitate the smaller insects and baitfish that trout feed on in streams and rivers.

For stream bass fishing, larger lures are generally used, such as crankbaits, jigs, and spinnerbaits. These lures are designed to imitate the larger baitfish that bass feed on in streams and rivers. Bass are also more likely to strike at lures that create more vibration and noise in the water, which is why these larger, more active lures are often more effective for bass fishing.

In summary, stream trout fishing requires a lighter weight rod and smaller lures, while stream bass fishing requires a heavier rod and larger, more active lures.

Trout is very productive and cautious at grass holes of clear water. Precise skip casting is a must to catch them.Traditonal casting on them will usually give away your presence and spook the trouts. Instead, skip cast precisely and slightly to grass holes works like magic!

We have many top notch JDM rods and reels, especially the top creek fishing rods (Anglo, Fenwick(Japan), Abu(Japan), M-AIRE, TENRYU, Casket, SMITH, Daiwa, Shimanoo, Majorcraft etc), some of them are not brand new, but at least 92% new.
Here are Anglo rod and Fenwick rod we just sell to our users.


Take the Fenwick(Japan) for example, we currently have below models in stock.
Fenwick WCE510Y CJ-4J
FS49CUL-3J
FS53CL-3J
WCE510Y-CL-4J
WCE 510Y
WCE66SL-5J
LINKS 510Y-CLZ
GW60CULJ
GFS47CUL-5J
MG50LC-3P(M-AIRE)
....

Please contact us if you want any brand of high end JDM rods or reels. You need tell us the model you want or the brief description of your fishing
scenario.
Please note, DANKUNG GLASSFIN has same fiber glass material & simialr fishing experience with high end Japan glass creek rods.
If you have no any experience of glass creek rod, I suggest you begin with a GLASSFIN rod which is much much lower price.

Much to my surprise, I just learnt the Fenwick(Japan Branch) is a very professional glass rod builder. Can I buy Fenwick glass rod that made in Japan from DANKUNG?
Below is what I learnt from Facebook

There have been two different Fenwicks since 1971. Many Americans remember the classic glass Fenwick sticks from the old days which were some really fantastic rods and still nice by even today's standards. Like most classic American fishing brands, they were purchased by a conglomerate, the quality of materials went south, labor went elsewhere, and now we have a Fenwick in America that largely builds generic products like anybody else. Well, on this side of the Pacific anyway.
So let's go back to 1971. Trout fishing is as popular or more popular in Japan than it is here. Back then, Tiemco became an authorized distributor and manufacturer of Fenwick rods for the Japanese market. They imported the blanks from here, spun them up, and put them on shelves complete with Fenwick's branding. With Tiemco controlling the brand in Japan, they were immune from the Pure Fishing takeover and now there are two Fenwicks, both cut from the same cloth, and both offering completely different products. While Fenwick here took the generic approach, the classic Fenwick still lives on in Japan, making higher end rods from fiberglass for trout and bass fishermen.

I was probably the most early user of GLASSFIN rod, I ordered it 2 years ago.
For me, the Glassfin rod is a very good small-middle trout rod on small creeks to medium rivers.
I also have a Anglo rod(luckily I got it at only 550 dollars,now the price doubled). In terms of performance , it's closed to anglo, just keep improving it from current baseline towards the best trout glass fishing rod. About comparison to another famous glass rod, the major craft major craft finetail glass rod, Glassfin in fact is quite different rod from Finetail glass rod which is more like a graphite rod although it's named as 'a glass rod'. So from a glass rod standpoint, Glassfin is much better than Fintail rod, on recovery, casting predictability, lure twitch, accuracy, hooksetting etc. Wish DANKUNG make new editions of GLASSFIN rod for larger trout, maybe a pure glass material can not do this, a blend of graphite and glass or boron material must be using ? I am not material expert, just share the ideas & advice.
