Was curious as to what everyone's go to lures were for trout.
Mine would have to be...
Kastmaster
Phoebe
Mepps Spinner
What about everyone else?

Since I most often troll for trout on the lakes I prefer:
trout-patterned floating Rapalas (jointed seems to work the best),
flatfish
small spoons (DN, needlefish, etc.)

needlefish - black and white, or firetiger
jointed rapala - silver, baby bass
wedding ring - tipped with worm or wolley bugger about 3" behind the lure

Flatfish and hotshot kill trout!

I like flatfish, roostertails, Kastmasters, and wedding rings. I use the flatfish and wedding rings from my boat, and mostly use the roosertails and Kastmasters from the shore. A sometimes cast a large Needlefish from shore.

tazmanian devils! They stay at the perfect depth with a ton of action! Trout go crazy for them!

unweighted. best trolled. Don't buy 'em from the Canadian makers - waaaayyyy overpriced. I bought mine awhile ago @ Ross Lake and from the guy who originally made them. Last I heard, he was selling 'em out of a Camper near Lake Wallowa.

I see, makes sense. I've heard they work great. The website said they could be used as a lure, so wasn't sure if they carried any weight to them to be able to cast.

Bingo bugs pretty cool. Oh yeah, keep 'em cool or you'll be sorry, they will melt on a sunny day. Originally made by a family up in BC, as the patriarch got older and tried to hand the biz down, the kids wanted nothing to do with retail sales and he couldn't keep up the demand for wholesale so he sold the molds and name to a guy in OR. Pretty easy to buy now for quite a while it was a trip to BC and checking little bait and tackle shops that could get them. Can't say I made any trips just for the bingos but I always looked when up there for anything else.
I've used them tolling and on the end of a tippet and leader. Very light for gear.
