Mine are Trout magnets... orange/chartruse they work better than any spinner or anything ive ever used. My biggest catch is a 19" Brown trout with said lure.

Whats yours?

I usually use Joe Flies spinners and power bait.I bought some
Trout Magnet jigs but have not had a chance to use them yet.
How do you fish your Trout Magnets and do you fish lakes or
streams? Mike

The only places i can use bait for trout is in stocked ponds/lakes so pretty much throw anything at them and they will bite. But i find i will out fish everybody on the lake with this jig and a piece of worm on it

~ I like Meal and wax worms
~ Spinners
~ Small Gitzets(jigs)
~Salmon Eggs


-- But if I can only fish one thing, give me a size 14 bait hook and a meal worm with Micro split shot and I can keep ammused!

2" Yo Zuri Pins Minnow in Gold Flame pattern. This has been by far the best trout bait that I have seen to date (better than any live bait). I am suprised more people don't use these lures, but I believe its because of their $7.00 price tag. IMO, they are worth it as I have landed hundreds of trout over 20" with these lures here in the streams of PA. Here are just a few big boys to fall to the Yo Zuri Pins Minnow...

Ah yes the Yo Zuris are always awesome for trout, same with chubby darters. Awesome lookin browns.

Buck magent you are right.... the Yo-Zuri's are nice but I cringe when I lose a $2 spinner!

I believe if I would lose one of thepins minnowsI wouldbe the guy standing on the side of the bank looking like this [:@][:@][:@]!!

Yeah, I learned quick and put 4# Berkley Fireline on my trout rods and have only lost a couple since then. That line is TOUGH, I have pulled in my fair share of water logged tree branches with that line!

I am gonna try some new lures this year, they are a plastic jerkbait that I think will be killer on larger trout. While fishing Yellow Creek here in Indiana PA I ran into Joe Renosky, the owner of Renosky Fishing lures and he let me try a few casts with a new lure that he was testing out. I can't remember the name but it looked alot like a Rapala but it had some amazing shine and after three casts I pulled out a 25" Rainbow!
