Trout living in streams and lakes is easy to catch with the help of lures, artificial lures, specially adapted for fishing with spinning or fly fishing. Every lover of quiet hunting needs to have in stock several popular models of turntables and oscillators, these two types of bait are the best. Fishing for trout is exciting and effective at any time of the year.

This review provides recommendations on what you should pay attention to in order not to make a mistake when choosing a bait, here you will find a description of new products from the best manufacturers, tips on how to choose them correctly.

How to choose a spoon for trout

The main advantages of this bait are its versatility, ease of casting, affordability, variety of colors and shapes. It is important to clarify that not all bait is suitable for trout hunting. The universal rule for catching a predator is the similarity of the bait used with the natural food supply, this approach guarantees the loyalty of the fish to the bait, as a rule, an excellent bite.

Practice has shown that brightly colored baits are best suited for trout fishing; the predator loves acid colors. Based on this fact, you can successfully hunt. Spoons fall into two main categories:

1. Rotating lure - suitable for trophy fishing, is the first thing that any spinning player gets to know - a spinner, it has a simple design, not whimsical to use. The wiring does not require arrhythmic animation, the product can be used according to the "throw-pull" principle. "Spinners" are suitable for any tackle, from "ultralight" to heavy, it can be thrown with great precision into the necessary part of the reservoir where it is planned to fish.

For river trout, “rear-loaded rotors” are used, their core is located on the wire axis, behind the petal. As a rule, the optimal size is №№000-1 (Mepps), weight 3-4 g. If the stream where the bait is used has a fast flow, it is better to use a product with a narrow petal, it does not create excessive resistance to the water flow during the drive, play keeps more natural without jerking.

If fishing takes place on a lake, the optimal solution would be to choose a spoon with a wide petal, an increased angle of its deviation from the axis. Such a bait can be carried out as efficiently as possible, in a given horizon. An important factor influencing the catchability of the bait is a bright core, which serves as a point of attack for the predator. A feature of "rotary rollers" is the presence of front sight or feathers on the tee. They give the structure stabilization and attract the attention of a predator. The petal can be painted in various colors from golden, copper to pink or acidic.

It is better to look at the "spinner" of the following firms, which of them to buy is a matter of taste: "Smith Niakis"; Mepps Black Fury; Myran Wipp; Dive Silver Creek; River Old Satellite Torpedo; Mepps Aguila Long; Blue Fox Super Vibrax; "Abu Garcia Reflex". The criteria for choosing a specific bait depend on the configuration of the reservoir, the fishing conditions on it.

2. Fluctuating trout baits are gaining popularity in Russia. They have a small size, weight 3-4 g, in contrast to "rotators" are more difficult to use, have a varied game, you need some experience to correctly carry out the wiring. There are designs adapted for brook trout, lake fish or universal products.

The hooks are available in bold colors, from black to gold, and are equipped with beardless hooks, this design complies with the “catch and release” rule. Japanese companies are the trendsetters in the production of baits. Fishing with the help of the "shaker" is interesting, varied, and can be carried out all year round.

Let's note a few common products: "Smith Pure"; Forest MIU; Radio Craft NOA-B; River Old Tournament Vespa; Daiva Crusader; Smith Heaven; Forest Marvel; Coatac Diacut Iwana.

It is important to mention the general rules for choosing trout spinners:

• The “spinner” should be light (up to 3 grams), this weight does not scare away cautious fish, allowing you to safely fish;
• weighty structures are selected for fast streams;
• the petal should be colored with transverse stripes, as practice has shown, such a design is more seductive for a predator;
• The "vibrators" are selected with small-amplitude animation, without a wide stroke, uniform play is the most attractive (length from 4 to 7 cm, weight 7-9 g).

The functionality of the spinner differs from model to model, which one is better to buy depends on your preferences and fishing conditions.

Seasonal subtleties of choice

The appearance of the bait should be different depending on the season. This is due to the activity of the trout, the state of the river. There are two main parameters affecting fishing efficiency: size; color of the product. Let's determine what are the nuances of the selection of bait.

• In winter, it is necessary to equip the spinning rod with weighty baits. The predator is not as active as in summer, so you need to stir it up with an attractive game, creating more noise, vibrations of the water during the posting. Acid shades are needed, provoking a predator to attack. If you adhere to this tactic when choosing a product, fishing in the cold season will be more effective.
• In spring, massive baits are not needed, but it is better to keep the colors bright, since the water is cloudy at this time of year, this strategy will improve the bite. Trout after winter is especially active and you won't have to persuade it to attack the tackle for a long time.
• Summer attachments should be minimalistic. The fish have been fattened during the warm months and it is more difficult to provoke it, this can be done by active, more intricate postings, the use of fly fishing gear is not prohibited. The colors must be varied, choosing them according to the mood of the predator, from silver to black with contrasting red dots, which ones will have to be chosen empirically to catch.
• Autumn - the time of "burnout" for aquatic inhabitants, as a result, it is quite simple to pick up a nozzle, since the fish is aggressive. You can use any spinner, experimenting with sizes, weights, shades and animation of the wires.

It is important to clarify that the size of the bait must be selected in accordance with the size of the intended trophy.
