The fish broke your tippet not your rod, take which ever rod you like to fish with. I would use the same rig that I got broke off the previous time just be more ready for a large strike and to yield line until I got it on the reel.

I have never landed a huge trout on anything, but I have landed some nice grass carp, catfish and large mouth bass on 4 lb. leader material. The carp were in the 7 - 8 lb. range, the channel cat around the same I guess, the LMB more 5.5 lb.
