Full disclosure:
I don't fish for stocked trout.
That out of the way i will say that the sliding Carolina rig will cause you a lot of grief on a steep rocky shore line.
Better a dropper rig with the egg sinker held on with a split shot so it's sacrificial if you get hung on the rocks.
Rules of thumb with trout.
Use the least weight, lightest line and smallest hook you can get away with.
