You're standing on the bank of a lake or stream and suddenly your fishing line is tugging wildly! A fish has taken your trout bait and bitten! Now you have to be quick and not lose the trout. You pull the line back onto the reel and reel in the tasty fish. The special thing about trout is that they can be caught in many different ways and are attracted by different lures. There is always a discussion among anglers as to what the best trout bait is. At tackle-deals.eu, we stock all common trout lures and in our guide we give you tips on how to choose them.
First of all, there is no one trout bait that is successful in every body of water. Depending on the habitat and condition of the water, different fishing methods and therefore different lures are suitable.
The most common trout baits according to water type:
Naturally, trout eat insects and larvae. They also like smaller fish. This is why natural baits are extremely popular as trout bait. Bee maggots, meat maggots, grasshoppers and dew worms are among the most successful live baits. Small bait fish also work well in some places, such as streams and lakes. Vegetarian options include corn and trout bait dough. Tip: Use plenty of garlic in cold waters.
Artificial trout bait has a good chance of being attacked by the fish. There is also less risk of a fish snatching the bait from the hook and not biting it. Trout wobblers imitate sickly fish and are usually more successful than spinners or spoons. The latter are particularly suitable for streams and lakes, especially when natural baits are not working. They imitate wriggling fish, mainly triggered by the rod action. Rubber trout lures also prove their worth and result in good catches.
