I wouldn't fish a Mepps spinner again (because of the treble hook), and I prefer spoons to spinners in any event (less line twist), but the point is that a straight-out-of-the-box Aldebaran and a Tenryu Rayz RZ53UL-BC would cast a 2.5g lure (which is small enough to catch 5-7" trout), and will cast it plenty far enough to catch fish in the tiny streams where little wild brookies live
