trout lures and plastics....

[Travymac97]

what are people catching trout on ?!

[maverick]

2 top favourite hard bodies are; pink & blue tassie devils trolled at 5 - 5.5 kph just on a flat line at this time of the year or the Rapala CD5 or CD 7 in rainbow trout pattern but trolled slower.

Haven't tried trolling a lot of soft plastics for trout, but a worm style and preferably rigged with a stinger hook has worked for me recently.

Tassie Devils - (chuck away the wire and run leader through a red bead to a single lure hook) - Pink on overcast days, Holographic, natural colours when the sun's out. Anything with spots.

Metals/spoons - The good old silver or gold Wonder Wobbler, Crocodiles etc. (You can lose a lot of fish with these as they are easy to shake free).

Spinners - Green/black or red/black Celtas, Pink Vibrax

Hardbodies - A lot of natural looking minnow styles will get a bite. Last one I caught at Trout closing took a Realis Minnow 80SP. Rebel Frog and Rebel Crawdad. Brown Trout pattern with spots.

Vibes - Black/Gold TTs

Plastics - Gulp 3" smelt/natural minnows, Lunker City Glitter minnows, yabbie imitations.

Hope that helps!

Cheers

Ditto what the others have been saying. Rapala's have been doing the damage for minnow patterns lately for me fished super slow. For plastics I love a black and gold glitter paddle tail and also taken a couple of late on lil thumper's from Mav's range which isn't to shabby considering they don't get much time.

I agree those tsunami trout lures in both rainbow and brown trout colour work very well for a cheap lure

and I'm also not a trout fisho but have had sucess with halco scorpion 35s in brown trout colour - I've also picked up one in rainbow trout colour
my guess these will work ok as well

Just to add to an older thread - the little bassday sugar deep 35F has been going great for me lately as a trout lolly in the creeks and small rivers. Been using the colour C66 (transparent with a light goldy/yellow on head) but looking to try a few other colours. The C66 is a nice natural looking colour, that shows up surprising well in slightly discoloured water.
