4000 size okay for king salmon/steel head?

I’m relatively amateur and looking into buying my first decent set up for reel. I’ve been looking at this one and wondering if it would be good for shore fishing trout or if it’s too big for what I need.

Depends on what kind of trout. For example, catching rainbows or brown trout in streams or creeks, the 5000 series would be way too big. You will need a much smaller reel, a 500 size like the Ceymar ODTF-500A or Avenger ABF-500 loaded with 2-4lb clear line. For a little more versatility, you could get by with a 1000 series reel, low diameter 6-8lb clear line, but for streams, anything larger than 4lb is pushing it. KastKing offers high strength, low diameter Destron and Tripolymer line that would be great. For a little more $, flourocarbon line is ideal. Lake trout, steelheads, and saltwater trout, the 5000 paired with 15-25lb line would be perfect to fish with. Good luck and thanks for watching!

@@TheCoolGrandpa I wanted 2000 but they didn’t have any so I’m between the 1000 and the 3000. And from what I’m hearing it sounds like I should stay on the small side of things.

Again, it depends on the kind of trout you are targeting. Going for Rainbows or Browns, you definitely want to keep it small, the 500 or the 1000 would be the better choice. You could still go with the 3000 but be sure to use the smallest line you can, the fish in ultra clear water get spooked very easily, especially in waters that are heavily fished from other anglers.
