Hi all. Would it work to add a long, light leader to the heavy gear the family has for fishing off wharves to fish for trout?

Cheers

Yeah , maybe , if you can find somewhere to fish for trout off a wharfeLOL
At  a pinch  why not . Probly better to stick with some sort of bait  rather than trying to cast a lure , flinging heavy gear around gets tiresome real quick  specially for kids .
Being as how heavy gear isnt going to be supple enough for trout  you will be relying on your drag so with that in mind  I would give it a good clean out .
Good luck
I wish I was young again .... Id be heaps smarter than this time
