If you want to catch more speckled trout, you can try several different types of lures. Here are some of our most popular lures: Chuggers (MirrOlures), Rapala XRap Slashbait and Heddon Super Hook. These lures mimic the movements of speckled trout, and are used to attract strikes from them.
MirrOlures
The 52M series MirrOlures baits are excellent for speckled trout fish fishing. They're similar to MirroDine suspendingbaits. This bait has a larger profile, and is intended to mimic grunts and pin fish. This bait is great for grassy flats and can be used in water from four to eight inches. The 52M series' "19" color pattern makes it especially effective on water that is both weedy or has lots of vegetation. A simple twitch and pause retrieve will work well for this lure, and it will suspend motionless in the strike zone. Speckled trout love this lure and will strike it with abandon.
This top water lure is ideal for targeting predators inshore. The MirrOlures top-dog can be used to cast parallel, up to two feet from the mangrove branches. This will attract trout, redfish, and snook. It also works well for tarpon in tidal streams. Top water lures that can be suspended above the surface of water include Popa Dog and Atop Dog.
Chuggers
Chuggers are basically overgrown poppers. They vibrate a lot when they are twitched because of their concave, flattened head and long skirt. They are an excellent choice to attract smallmouth bass, spotted and schooling striped bass. But chuggers are not as effective with larger predators such as pike and muskie. Here are some tips to help catch these gorgeous fish.
A weedless spoon is a good choice. These work well over oyster bars and seagrass beds. These lures are very fluttery so make sure you tie it with a twist and slowly retrieve it. Shadtail lures are especially effective. MirrOlure Popa Dog, another topwater lure, is also very popular. This lure works best when fished in shallow water approximately 6 feet deep.
Rapala X-Rap Slashbait
Rapala's newest lure, the X-Rap, is now available. It features an integrated long casting system, irresistible rattle, and a long-lasting casting system. This bait is fashioned with Permasteel 3X hooks fastened to stainsless steel through the body wire. Its aggressive darting action and rolled tail makes it the ideal choice for large speckled trout.
The X-Rap shines regardless of the fishing situation. Its small profile resembles a meal-sized mullet. The X-Rap will sink quickly to two to four inches and is an ideal choice when fishing from shorelines. This bait will catch big-meal speckled trout.
Heddon Super Hook
To catch a large trophy speckled fish, you must know how to use the appropriate lure. 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 type of lure is very durable so it will not fade in the waters.
These lures come with brightly-colored hook bodies and realistic looking eyes. They will not crack or bend unlike other lures. They are suitable for topwater fishing as they can produce large quantities of water. They are extra sharp so your prey will stay where they want.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Perfectly
Casting a fishing pole requires that you use your wrist to guide the rod's handle toward the water. You should hold the rod at a slight angle to ensure the line is parallel with the ground. When you start moving the rod forward, keep the tip of the rod perpendicular to the surface of the water. If the tip hits the water's surface before the line reaches the bottom, the fish won't bite. This technique allows you to increase the distance from the tip of your rod to the water's surface.
Here are some tips to help you cast a rod confidently.
To begin, keep the rod as close to you chest as possible. This way, you can easily control the rod's direction without bending down.
The tripod may be set up on the shoreline and/or on a rock edge to aid in casting a heavy-duty rod. You can rest the rod securely, while also holding the reel.
A third option is to buy a smaller reel than an expensive one. A low-cost spinning reel will allow for you to cast greater distances. It will also improve your hand eye coordination.
Fourth, you might also consider buying a fishing pole holder. These holders are designed to keep the rod upright and hold it securely. They're easy to store away after use and protect the rod from getting damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until you get used to the motion. Casting a fishing rod takes practice.
Sixth, patience and perseverance are the keys to fishing success. Waiting for the right moment to strike is key to successful fishing. Then, work hard to get the fish in.
