Trout Lures

My favorite lures for trout are Kastmasters. I like the ones in chrome or chrome and blue. I use them from 1/12 oz. to 1/4 oz. What are your favorite lures for trout?

black 1/32oz jig......2ft deep below a bobber tipped with meal worm......

i like panther martins usually works best for me!

never used kastmasters... ima have to try!

I like the small rooster tails spinners in yellow coachdog pattern.

little cleo in 1/8th ounce for me, i like the neon green with silver patern. fish it steadily at around 6:00-7:00 and you can catch big trout.

I like pheobes and panther martins 1/16 or 1/8oz

I like flies.

I generally fly fish, but a small roostertail works great when I use the spinning gear. I've also caught some very nice fish on standard marabou crappie jigs.

we do very good with crappie jigs. we have done well in several trout tournament with 1'5" tube jigs. we like red/white also yellow/white... good luck

I just posted this list on another thread so I thought I'd throw it in here too:

My trout go-to trout lures, in order, are :

-Pink salmon eggs
-Pink/natural trout magnets
-Corn flavored powerbait
-Corn
-Very small natural looking inline fly spinners
-If nothing else is working, then I might try a rooster tail in larger pools or even a small floating cricket on a shaded slow part of the stream


By the looks of the lures used, I'm guessing not many of you guys are fishing small fast moving mountain streams are ya? Hard to work a spinner/spoon properly in 8 inches of riffled fast water!

I saw those Kastmasters for the first time at our local shop this spring and thought they looked dynamite for trout. I'll have to pick em up the next time I head to southern MO trout fishing.

Here in MO, I love the rebel crawdads, strike king bitsy minnows and a gold or silver flat fish. If those aren't producing, I'll use some chartreuse powerbait. I like to catch em on a fly too.

I prefer using an in-line spinner, with a silver or black blade. I like the little 1/32 oz.

Trout Magnets and egg patterns with a fly rod

I also like trout magnets. I fish with tm's mostly with the ocassional panther -martin or little cleo.

I fish below cherokee dam in tennessee and in the river I like 1/8 oz #1 vibrax spinners with duck feathers I tye on the treble hook. Also like 1/8 oz. joes flies with muddlerminnow on it.
