Lures Bass Trout

What are some lures that are effective for rainbow trout in the winter?
Excluding flies. I am not a fly-fisherman, i just wanted to try something "sorda" new. Last time i went, i still fished worms and caught a trout & a bass. The trout was around 12-13 inches. So, what are some lures that have worked for you on the trout? Your opinion. I have some rooster tails & beetle spins, are they effective for 'bows? If so, what are the colors & sizes you like?
Haha. I know you guys will probably think i'm a hypocrite for asking this question, since i posted a question not too long ago about not liking people asking these "What are the best lure?" Q's. But, i just want to know what has worked for you, not what the internet says.
I've read quite a bit about the float & fly, bassplayer. Can't remember the magazine but, it had numerous pictures of Largemouths, Smallmouths & sunfish. I always wondered if it would work as good as the magazine said it would. I haven't tried the kastmaster before on any species, i'll check it out.
I have caught trout from coast to coast and from Georgia to Alaska using a method that is the most consistent producer of fish that I have ever used. Depending on where I fish and for what, the method varies only in the size and in the depth of water I fish it. Other than that, it is always the same. I have used it for trout in ALL of the northwestern states (except Idaho) from California to Colorado and up the Alaska/Canada Highway through British Columbia and the Yukon Territories to Alaska where I am still using it. Need I say more? IT WORKS! Take a small lead-head jig (I prefer 1/32 and 1/64 ounce sizes.) I prefer the lighter colors like white, silver, yellow, or pink. I tip the bare hook with the front or back inch or two from a lively nightcrawler. Suspend the baited jig beneath a float. (I use a clear "Cast-a-Bubble".) Vary the depth depending on whether you are fishing in lake or stream. I try to keep the offering a foot or so from the bottom. A slight chop on top of the water gives a good bounce to the bait and the active twisting of the lively worm makes for a combination that most fish can't resist. I have taken a LOT of trout using this trick, but have also taken a bunch of other fish for the pan as well. Crappies, bluegills, and yellow perch are equally susceptible. I have upped the size of my offering to 1/8 and 1/4 ounce jigs tipped with half of the worm to capture walleye, large & smallmouth bass, and even northern pike. The largest fish I have taken with the tactic was a 25# carp. If given my choice of all bait/lure options to take on a survival outing, it will be with NO hesitation, the jig-n-worm combination. It WORKS! Have fun with it. I do. ;o)
