Trout Fishing Lure and Bait Information
from:If you are going trout fishing, it is very important that you know all you can about the types of lures and bait you can use to catch trout as well as how to use them properly. Most everyone feels like they have some sort of good idea about what makes good trout bait and what method is better than the other. However, it is good to know all of your different options since with trout, you never know exactly what they are going to like until you give it a try. This is why we have compiled this list of trout fishing lure and bait information for you to help you prepare for your next trout fishing trip.
First, you also know that you are going to need a rod and reel. Some people prefer to catch trout with fly rods but many others enjoy a rod and reel. If using a rod, please consider:
• A light rod of 4-5 feet long
• A light duty spinning reel or spin casting reel
• 4-6 pound test line
• #10-#14 bronze hooks
• a few small split shot
• small knife and other accessories
Types of Lures
There are many different types of fishing lures often used and also different types used in trout fishing. Some trout fisherman will swear by a particular type, size or style of lure while another will live by another. It usually comes down to a matter of learning all that you can about the different types and having several of your favorites with you at all times so that you can try them on the trout.
Spinners, jigs and other minnow imitators are good trout lures. Any color or style typically works but some good ones to start with are Gold-Browns, Silver-Rainbows, and Copper-Brookies.
Types of Bait
There are many different types of bait and trout tend to be picky and unpredictable when it comes to what type of bait they enjoy. The same trout may love one type of bait one day and hate it the next so it's really hard to know for certain. You can ask other people who are trout fishing in the area and get an idea for what the fish are biting that particular day but your best bet is to go prepared with several different types of bait. If one doesn’t seem to be working for you, then you simply switch to another.
Nightcrawler worms are some of the best worms for live bait trout fishing. They are easy to get, the trout usually like them, they are good weight and easy to use. Hellgramites and water worms are also popular. Many regular worms are too small and harder to cast. Small minnows sometimes work well depending on the season and the type of trout.
