Berkley Scented Lure





What lures, other than spinners, are effective for trout?

I've heard of Berkley scented worms anyone have any experience with them??? thanks

Pretty much any small crank bait can also be effective on trout. On a bigger stream or river, a small Rat-L-Trap or Rapala stick bait can be just what the doctor ordered. I have had great success on the Little Lehigh and larger sections of the Tobyhanna in the PA Poconos with crank baits.

Berkley's products have proven to be pretty reliable over the years. I have never used the scented trout worms but I have used some of their other products successfully.

An old school, basic and often overlooked lure these days are casting spoons. I personally prefer the Acme Kastmaster in sizes and colors to match the conditions but there are others such as the Little Cleo or Dare Devil. For trout below 5lbs, usually 1/8 oz is plenty. For native trout streams, I stick with basic silver or gold to match the small bait fish. In stocked waters, you can go a little more colorful, a tiger fire, brown trout or clown patter. You fish it the same way you would a spinner, cast and retrieve to produce a swimming motion. They are available in 25 or so colors and all kinds of sizes. They are great for covering large areas of water because even the little one's cast superbly. A 1/8 oz lure with 4lb test on a 5ft trout rod can be cast a good 50 yards. An added bonus is that you can catch many species with them since they imitate bait fish.
