Trout Fishing Tips 198
Synthetic Trout Baits – For many trout fishermen, these trout baits are among the best baits for trout. These baits are man made and normally distributed and sold in small jars. Powerbait is a popular and effective brand name of this type of trout fishing bait. These trout baits are most effective when fishing in lake situations, especially when fishing for stocked or planted trout. This type of bait is normally fished with some sort of bank fishing rig (my personal favorite rig for trout fishing with synthetic bait is a gang hook rig). The point is that synthetic trout baits are certainly among the best baits for our multi-colored friends.
Fly Reels – a specialist reel for use with fly rods. Once the exclusive domain of trout, salmon and steelhead anglers, but now used even for saltwater applications. Sometimes considered to be just a storage device for the fly line and backing, but if you latch on to a larger fish you’ll be using the reel and its drag system to fight the fish into submission. Centerpin and Mooching reels probably fall into the same category as Fly Reels, but they are used quite differently. Get some experience under your belt before you move to these.
