Trout plugs for active lure fishing
Compact trout plugs imitate small prey fish with a wobbling, darting or rolling action. They are an exciting choice for active trout in commercial fisheries, streams and natural waters, particularly when larger fish are hunting.
How to fish trout plugs
Use a steady retrieve, short twitches and pauses to discover how the fish respond. Floating, sinking and suspending models cover different depths, while the diving lip determines the running range and strength of the action.
Choose the right size and colour
Slim, natural patterns suit clear water and wary trout. Brighter colours and plugs with stronger vibration can be effective in coloured water or low light. Match the lure weight to your rod and line for accurate casting.
Complete your trout lure setup
A fine fluorocarbon leader can provide a discreet, abrasion-resistant connection. Browse more trout lures and maintain secure connections with suitable clips and split rings.
