If those colors fail to produce I start experimenting with bright offerings. I begin with natural colors that match the shad and smelt the trout feed on. In terms of color again my approach is systematic. It’s not too big for pansize trout, but big enough to interest the big boys. Kastmasters come in a range of different sizes and trout will hit several of them, but the ¼ ounce version is my personal favorite. It won’t break, bend or corrode and it retains its luster. Kastmaster’s balance produces wild action without line twist! The Kastmaster is machined from solid brass. I remove that hook and replace it with an appropriately sized treble, usually one that is red in color.
They are built for targeting silvers and kings in the ocean, so out of the package the lures come with a pretty large J hook attached to the rear end. 624 a Double Glow green, white, pink and orange monstrosity that nothing should hit, but everything from bass to salmon grab it anyway.Īs great as the KFL works for trout and kings, they weren’t designed for freshwater fishing. 677 UV bloody cop car.Įvery once in a while I’ll tie on a super bright model like No. Silver Horde doesn’t name the finishes of these spoons only identifying the finishes by number: No. Here are my favorites in descending order. The colors I use most for trout and landlocked kings are the same colors I use most for ocean kings.
You’ll find standard, double glow and UV finishes in the KFL lineup. The fact that the KFL lineup includes a long list of both utilitarian and creative finishes is only icing on the cake. I give the KFL two thumbs up in terms of silhouette and action. The lightweight of the spoons, makes them very responsive, so they work well when teamed with either medium or large size dodgers.įor me shape and action are the two most important cues when it comes to generating strikes, but color plays a factor too.
The spoons are made of brass and are very light in weight, hence the name. KFLs do an exceptional job of imitating a wounded baitfish. 3.5, 3 inch size is my hands down favorite trout and salmon spoon these days.

As we do you’ll note that the common theme among them is that they are fairly large from 2 to 3 inches in length and they all run well from 2.5 to 3 plus miles per hour. I’ve been doing a good deal of trolling for trout and landlocked kings this spring and I’ve done nearly all of my fast work with a half dozen different spoons. Yet, in reality I don’t use that many different lures on any given day on the water.

They’ve either got to react and strike or let the opportunity pass.Īs you might imagine, being a life long angler and professional outdoor writer I’ve got a pretty deep selection of lures to choose from. And forth, when it comes to artificial lures, it is generally easier to draw strikes from large wary fish with a fast moving lure simply because it doesn’t give them much time to weigh their options and evaluate the offering. Third, a quick moving lure triggers strikes from the most aggressive fish. Second a fast presentation enables you to find fish quickly. First quick trolling allows you to cover a maximum amount of ground in a minimum amount of time. The only time I slow down is when I can’t hook a big enough volume of fishing moving quickly.įast trolling offers a number of benefits. When trolling for trout and landlocked kings it’s best to troll fast until the fish tell you they don’t want a fast presentation. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
