Re: Dead sticking trout
Kastmasters have a tendency to ride up during the retrieve. Try a heavier, more compact spinner like a Panther Martin or a Blue Fox.

Re: Dead sticking trout
I've never had much luck using spinners from shore in lakes for trout. Pretty much a bait and wait fishery. Streams and The D&R Canal is were spinners work best. Panther Martins and Blue Fox spinners are deadly but the right color combo is also important some days they will only hit gold some days only silver spinners.

Re: Dead sticking trout
Like you're thinking, dead sticking often = dead trout
Even if you're actively working the rod anticipating the bite, trout will often take bait into their gills or gut so if you are planning to release the fish, best to stick with lures. At the very least, for c&r trouting with bait, hooks with the barbs pinched down will be a lot easier on the fish during removal.

Re: Dead sticking trout
Rainbow Trout like silver spinners the best, browns go for gold.

Re: Dead sticking trout

Re: Dead sticking trout
You know I remember that thread now.. dang it I was just at Dick's today AND I placed an Amazon order yesterday. Oh well, next time. I picked up a couple plain chrome Kastmaster 1/8 jigs to try instead of the roosters. Maybe I'll have better luck. Saw a guy catch a beast of a fish on one yesterday while I was half killing cookie cutter 10" fish.
