helped so much thank you so much
Another fantastic video mate. Very comprehensive and helpful for us that don’t do a lot of fresh water fishing. Great stuff!
Thanks 👍 Travis, Glad ya enjoyed it. I got to do trout fishing with a lot of people new to freshwater fishing this past month so I thought this would be helpful
I do a lot of trolling for trout and redfin here in WA and I love the Halco range (trout colours) - RMG Scorpion 35 / 52, Laser Pro 45, Poltergeist 50 (deep and crazy deep) and the new TB55's. Another WA local lure that I like is Razor Edge Scout 45 V2 (ghost rainbow trout).
Fantastic video. About the best I've seen for fresh water. Thank you 🙂
Wow, thank you!
Awesome video Alan 👍🏼 good to see a video like this. It really helps Because when you go to buy some lures it can be pretty confusing, there are so many options
Glad you enjoyed it Jared, Yeah I get about 50 questions a day from random people and 90% of those questions are about gear choices, so im sure many will find this helpful
Gday Alan.
Great video. Loved it. Fantastic how you always manage to cover things to help out beginners but also more experienced folk are likely to pick up things also.
Seeing all your rods/reels in the background made my mouth water. So I wonder if a video covering all your rods & reel setups and what application you use each one for, might be too much to ask.
Apologies if you've already done such a video.
I've learnt so so much from you. Keep doing what your doing.
Mitch. 👍
Thanks Mitch, I really appreciate the feedback. Countless hours and effort goes into putting these educational vids together so im always happy when people comment they have been helpful. In regards to the rods in the back I have a members area were I do lots of vids on workshops, comps, species guides and lots of content on the gear which I use and how I use it. www.fishingmad.com.au/member it might be worth looking at that. Hope that helps, thanks for watching and supporting and have a great day.
Love the Pro Lure ST72 and there's some terrific trout patterns in the shallow and deep versions.
The Prolure Paddle Grubs are an awesome soft plastic and I've also had success on the Fish Arrow Shads.
Agreed, very good options there
Hi Alan. Great coverage of lures. I spin the Alpine lakes in North East Vic, mainly with Tassies in the 7.5gm. No doubt that the twin single assist hooks hold on much better than trebles on wire. One thing that's important is to ensure that your line is tight as the lure sinks as the trout will often hit the lure on the drop and you need to have the hooks and lure "connected"via a tight line.
Cheers, Chris.
Thanks for the tips! Really appreciate it. Great to know that you have been using the 7.5g with success.
Love the Ecogear range and strike Tiger for plastics especially for the waters i fish down here in Tas. Sooo much awesome tackle to use and choose from depending on the conditions and types of water your fishing.👍👍
I agree completely, and those ecogear MX48s are awesome lures
The tassie devils were in the $2 bcf bin along with a heap of fat cranks 38s! What a bargain, 10 lures for $20.
One day they will have Daiwa 2xclutches i hope..... one day. I lose too many lures to justify spending $20 on a lure. Good video.
Thats brilliant, I would have loaded up on them aswell. And yes 100% if ya ever see double clutches for $2 let me know and ill buy a heap of them LOL
I love the double clutches also one of my favourite lures, along with the Tassie devils in pink or white.
I generally fish nymphs and small creatures, smaller wriggle tails and flick baits on a circle hook with a small running bead sinker, or unweighted. Pierce through the nose, run around the hook, Pierce through halfway downish so the nose is sitting on the eye of the hook and the tail is straight. This separates the weight and allows the lure to sink a lot slower and flutter down.
Hi Alan very nice and informative video this one,I find very good the rapala lures count down 5 and even the smallest one it's deadly infact I've got my biggest trout using this tiny lure. Even Daiwa double clutch are fantastic, and strike pro spoons are good too for me. Thanks for your fantastic work my friend 👏 😀 👍 ciao ciao
Thanks Mario !! Yes the old Rapala CD5s are still an awesome choice
Really really great video mate :)
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate the comment,
The old Wonder Wobbler still works in the Alpine lakes in NE Victoria. They cast like a bullet and are still very effective (and cheap).
Cheers, Chris.
100% agreed, a mate of mine caught several of those stonker trout in metro lakes using the old wonder wobler. they cast a mile and trout love em
Not sure they’re my favorites but what has been successful for me earlier this year has been 90mm hardbodies (what I would have called a stick bait) in that old silver or white with a red head pattern. Trolled behind the kayak I’ve picked up a few nice browns on those. The other is the 60mm rmg poltergeist in a crawfish or Redfin pattern. Again trolling behind the yak and diving to 3m. I’m usually targeting Redfin with those around the edge of lakes at about 2.8kph but the browns have been beating them to it!
Awesome, Great suggestions there Dave. Those poltergeist are deep divers which is interesting, wonder of the waters your fishing are a bit deeper.
duo are one of the best esp in the 62shad dr but never used it for trout
Du sure do make some beautiful lures, there almost to pretty to use
My go to for Trout is a 50 mm 5 g sinking crankbait made by Tsurirnoya usually usually the gold colors are money!
BEST I HAVE SEEN. One man pull 48 trout thread line or fly.In 5hs, is atomic moebix 35mm 5g. One of a kind lure. As for bass yellow belly the same. Off the chart stuff.
Awesome, Brett. Thanks for the info !!
@@fishingmad AS for soft plastics and they were use on fly rod uncle use them on split cane fly rods. They were called SLIDERS.Very tiny. He used thin copper wire in hook to make lock even tiny hidden weight hooks of to day would destroy the plastic in question top stream plastic anyway..
Try a Kamlooper spoon by Acme
Rapala are my favourite for trout
With that lure check drag cast put rod in its holder leave it until fish hits lure that good.
The strike tigers have been AWESOME the past few months, especially their little grub styles.
Any thoughts on using snap/power clips for quick switching hard body lures? I’m always pausing on your reel in shots to check
I only use quick changing snaps when squid fishing. I prefer tying uni or loop knot straight to jig heads, as the clip can impact the swimming action and sink rate. Agreed on the strike tiger grubs they are a great option
Legend Al, thank you!
Nothing gets the heart pumping more than a fish hitting a bent minnow off the top.. Wasaby my 2nd favourite..
Couldn't agree more !! Gotta love surface action
Reading the comments and watching the video.... Seems it really doesn't matter what you use to catch trout, they all work haha
Berkly gulp pearl water melon works well weightless in weed pockets and the duo realise rozante wagaski colour works well and rapala spotty dog
Agreed the berkley pearl watyermelon is great for so many species including trout. ill have to check out those duo realise rozante as Duo make beautiful lures
Great lures, they'll catch many, many.....fisherman.😂
your an absolute legend however I'm not looking forward to my credit card statement.
LOL yeah i can be blamed for that 100%,
hey mate will a 3/32 size #4 fit the nymph??
Yeah it should, strike tiger have a sizing guide on their website which might be worth checking out
@@fishingmad thannks mate :)
I try so many different things but at the end of the day its the 2.5inch plastics that always pull through, sometimes annoyingly so lol.
Yes I think so many can relate to this, i never go fishing without 2.5 inch grubs or paddletails
What colour is your diawa slippery dog or do you have any recommendations? Also what size do you go with ?
I've mainly been using the Moebi colour in 65F size
@@fishingmad how do you find usuing black lures? I’m thinking of adding a few different variations of colours to some of my lures and have thought that black could be a good edition.
Where can i buy the bob n spoon
Most tackle stores sell them, i get mine from Melb Marine Centre and Hooked on bait and Tackle.
when are you going to post a bream version?
Here you go ua-cam.com/video/IMPnMwsR19Y/v-deo.html Enjoy !!!
Wanna come fishing Saturday? 5am Avalon
ill likely be fishing Port Melb on Saturday, cond look good too
I started using soft plastic over hard plastic swim baits. Rainbow trout eat each other 🤔⁉️ I've been using sunfish plastic for rainbow trout fishing stOrm bait's.
Where abouts do you buy these
Most good tackle stores will stock all of the lures and plastics mentioned.
@@fishingmad awesome which do you shop at locally and where abouts can I go to catch the stonker trout
