Trolling Fishing Lure
Trolling Fishing Lure Information
Help with Fishing Lures! This mom needs some advice before going trout fishing!?
My son and I will be fishing for trout in Colorado in a couple of weeks — we will be trolling, not fly fishing, and don’t wish to use bait. I’m going to buy a few lures to take along for fun. I don’t know what to get with so many to choose from! What kind have all of you trout fishermen out there had good luck with? Also, I noticed on the pkgs. that some are described as “sinkers” and some as “floaters” — which kind do I want to get for trout fishing?
If ya’ be trolling than your in a boat ~ if that be the case then one has to get into a lot ie., Planer boards, Down-riggers, Trollin’ weights, Flasher/Dodgers etc., etc.. Am sure that be all Greek to ya’ so lets assume, that you’ll be “casting” (as the first responder put it). In-line spinners work well ~ my 2 preferences be Panther Martin and Blue Fox (links). Kastmaster spoons are another good choice. For a lure, Rapala’s Original Floater has always done me right. It be both a floater and sinker (the latter meanin’, one that has a lip on it that helps it dive below the surface of the water). The Original Floater had a short lip that gives it a shallower dive but, it can be worked as a floater as well ~ Rule of thumb on lures, the longer the lip the deeper she’ll go down. On all of the above for Trout, work/reel them slowly just enough to give them a good movement/action. Link on Rapala lure will show ya’ what I’m referrin’ to on that. Don’t know that I helped that much and my assumption of your NOT Trolling is right, look
at it this way ~ least you have some brand names ta’ go by when ya’ do your shoppin’ 
. Good luck to you and the son… < ' ( (( > <
