Painting jerkbaits for big trout

[Ham]

Some things never change.

good looking baits. By the shear volume of them, I assume they are for sale.

Because the browns I’m catching are regurgitating rainbow trouts instead of forage fish and I will be imitating 5-7 in rainbow trout

Not to hijack the thread but this is the exact reason I continue to experiment just a little each trip down with big swimbaits.  I have been trying them down lake for bass cause I know there are big bass eating those rainbows so the browns have to be doing the same thing and probably in the same places.  There were several spots this summer down lake where I would see some 6 and 8 inch rainbows and there is just no doubt that is nothing but candy to bass and brownies.

In the Whiter and Norfork river systems the brook trout are the candy!

Duane you'll have to paint up some brookie baits for Jigfest !

I guess you missed a post where the first fish caught on one was a 20 inch brown.  

But then again one would have to read all 7 pages first....

Just going back on page of this thread would have produced big brown pic.

You are correct about some things never changing.  

Not selling any, just building my stock up and learning to paint.  

I have a few ideas on some sculpin flavored ones that I might give a try at in the future.

I suspect it's pretty hard to find the "PREV" button in that condition

Missed my big opportunity with my Maine charter trip being cancelled of catching sculpin large enough to fillet. May just have to fry up some Ozarks😌. You know that as soon as I decide to eat them I won't be able to find any.

        Do you have  micro stringer for a micro fish? Maybe keep them in the photograph ziplock bags. I think you should supply Duane with your micro pictures for study. I am in on the sculpin fish fry BTW,

Some of the ones we were catching at Bennetts were the size of some brookies that I ate out west. Heads off and guts out dust and fry😁.
