You won't be able to cast a Trout Magnet far at all on 4# test FC line. If you will fish with 2# test mono and use a 2# test fluorocarbon leader you will get great casting distance and a much better catch rate. If you go to 2# test you can put a size B split shot about 18 inches above the Trout Magnet. I know a lot who try to use 4# test and when they make the switch to 2# test their catch rate goes way up. What is the action and power of your rod?
