It has been a ton of years since I used an ultralight spinning rod for trout. But my up and coming fisherman, Skyler the 7 year old grandson, loves using his. (He is just now beginning to be interested in the long rod). I need to get him some productive rapalas for Taney and other lures that would be productive with 4 to 6 lb line. Can you guys give me a list of sizes, colors, of what you would use, either topwater, subsurface etc. And what is legal below the dam. Thanks.

I use a gold rapala F3 or F5. Gold Mepps spinners work well also. when the shad start to die and come through the dam anything in silver or white will kill them

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

Dano..

here is a short list.. floaters, and surspenders

and the count downs if 3 or more units are on..

rapalas..

black and silver..

black and gold..

baby browns....

also dont forget about the Yo-zuri pin minnows... Those are GREAT.. cost some though..about $7 per lure

rebels...

any of them the floats... but IMO.. the lips come off of these alot quicker the the rapalas..

6 lb line.

Throw F or CD (I prefer F)

F-7 is perfect.

Gold, silver, rainbow

Start and stop- hard irratic action and stop alot.

Rogues are very good too, esp the suspending types. They really smack them when you stop.

Don't forget about the jigs! I've caught a ton of fish on the White River System (& the Spring River) on 1/16 oz olive, black, & brown jigs. I guess you could use 6 lbs line, but 4 is better. I really like the "Zig Jig" made in NW Arkansas. I would think that they would be very easy for the young angler to use.

Thanks everybody, I can get him equipped now. But tell me this. Is it legal to have multi hooks in the Trophy areas? I presume it is? I know multi fly rigs are ok, but I was unsure about treble's etc.
