There are many lure options available to help you catch more speckled trout. Here are some examples of the most effective: Chuggers. MirrOlures. RAP Slashbait. Heddon Super Hook. These lures mimic the movements of speckled trout, and are used to attract strikes from them.
MirrOlures
The 52M Series of MirrOlures is a good bait for speckled-trout fishing. It's similar to the MirroDine suspending Bait. This bait is more prominent and is intended for imitation of grunts as well as pin fish. It can be used on grassy flats up to four feet deep. The 52M series has a "19” color pattern. This makes it particularly effective in water with lots of vegetation and weeds. For this lure, a quick pause retrieve or twitch will suffice. It will then suspend motionless in its strike area. Speckled trout love this lure and will strike it with abandon.
This top water lure can also be used to target inshore predators. For a parallel cast, use the MirrOlures topdog to place the lure within two feet of mangrove branches. This will attract trout, redfish, and snook. It also works well for tarpon in tidal streams. Popa Dog or Atop Dog are other effective top-water lures that are suspended in the water.
Chuggers
Chuggers are overgrown poppers. When twitched, their flattened, concave heads and long skirt produce a lot of vibration. They are a great choice for smallmouth bass, schooling stripers, and spotted bass. Unfortunately, chuggers cannot be used to catch larger predators like pike and muskie. Here are some tips for catching more of these beautiful fish.
Try a weedless teaspoon. These are great for oyster bars and seagrass beds. These lures can flutter so you need to tie the knot with a small swivel and retrieve them slowly. Shadtail lures are especially effective. Another popular topwater lure is the MirrOlure Popa Dog. This lure should be fished in shallow waters, approximately 6 feet deep.
Rapala X-Rap Slashbait
Rapala's newest lure, X-Rap. It has an integrated long casting system and irresistible rattle. This bait is fashioned with Permasteel 3X hooks fastened to stainsless steel through the body wire. Large speckled trout will love its darting action and rolled tail.
The X-Rap shines no matter what fishing situation you are in, from cold fall days to clear water. Its petite profile reminds one of a small mullet. The X-Rap sinks readily to two to four feet and is an ideal choice for shoreline fishing. This bait will capture big-meal speckled trout.
Heddon Super Hook
You need to be able to choose the right lure for catching trophy speckled trout. Speckled trout can strike lures of any kind, including frogs, rat and fish. Therefore, you need to make sure that the lures are appropriate for your species. Spoons are great lures for these fish because they have a high eye-to-water ratio and cause water movement. This lure is long-lasting, so it won't fade in the water.
These lures have brightly colored hook bodies with realistic-looking eyes. These lures are more durable than other lures and will not break or snap unlike other lures. These lures can even be used for topwater fishing because they are built to produce a lot of water. The hooks are extra sharp, so you can rest assured that your prey will stay where you want them to be.
