I’m sure you can bring them in. But for bigger trout that I would want to release I don’t think I would go that light. You will have to play with them to get them in. Give it a shot if it doesn’t work step up to your 5 or 7. Definitely don’t want to muscle them in on that light gear.
Good advice. I christened the rod yesterday with a rainbow about 1.5lbs. He put up a merry fight on the little rod so I wouldn't want to hook something in the four pounds and up weight if they were going to be released.
