Anyone Use Big Swimbaits For Big Trout?

How do you fish those Lucky Crafts? Reel them straight back in? Twitch them?

Cricket is right, hard twitching with a pause on a slack line. I like to use the pointer 78 chartreuse shad or other natural bait fish colors.

Cast as close to the bank as you can when the water is rolling pretty good against that steep bluff bank. You can also use the pointer 78 dd when the water is a little deeper. Remember, that is a 1 fish 21" limit area I think, ask Phil

Give them a try and report your results. Soft plastics in general don't seem to work as well on trout for me as they do for other species, but your results may be different.

I am gonna order some hard swimbaits this week from tacklewarehouse.

Is there a site to know when they are stocking the trouts? I'm not in it for the trouts but the bigger fishes that eat the trout.

While fishing for stripers using 6-8 inch swim baits i have in the past caught several big browns. I have also seen others using swims baits catch the big browns while striper fishing. Usually using the rainbow or orange color.

I don't know how consistent you could catch them but i do know they will hit it. I have caught more on the large rogues or jerk baits.
