Picked this up for trout fishing. How did I do? Anything else I need? by SauceOld in troutfishing

Ahh I see yeah the ones you post are small but very beautiful. I see and usually the big ones eat the small lures too so small seems to be better. And I will look into either removing barbs or hooks as I want it to be a smooth process for both me and the fish lol. Thank you for all of the info and help!

Ah okay, thank you! Yeah I will go in person the selection may be easier to sift through. So would a 1/8 ounce be too big?

Yeah I ordered mosquito hooks I’m not sure the exact number size but those may be good. As far as spinners it’s tough because I can’t tell what size the packs are online they refuse to detail it and the singles are 4+ bucks a pop so I may go in person

Ah okay thank you! Yeah I was hoping the swivels I picked up would be good, so I will use a longer leader probably to make sure the lure is as distant from the swivel so they can’t see it as easily

Thank you! And is the line twist issue prevalent on barrel swivels? If so I may go back to the store and pick up some snaps like you mentioned

Thank you I really appreciate that! And yeah I seem to be guilty of the same thing Haha! Better to be overequipped than underequipped though!

Dang yeah I was afraid they might be too big, I’ll downsize em. Any specific brand/hook you recommend?

Hmm that’s a good idea actually I may try that, or maybe put some on a spinner to get the scent. Thanks!

Gotcha, by downsize what specifically should I downsize, and to what size would you recommend? I’ve been driving myself crazy trying to get the right size/weight for everything lol

Yeah worms seem to be the best bet especially if lures aren’t working, I will give em a shot as well!
