I prefer the panther martins, they spin a lot easier so you can reel it slower and keep it in front of the fish for a longer period. The yellow one's with the red spot have done the best for me.rooster tails suck

Another version of this approach is with braided line. You can get several different brightly colored lines and just tie a short leader to it.Line is a personal preference but I'd like to explain my choice of stren yellow. This used to be am easily found line, but now it's either special order or occasionally found at bass pro. My dad used this line in the mid 70s. I took to it because when you're fishing with bait, it's easy to follow as the bait travels down stream with the current so you're always in the right spot for setting the hook. It also helps you to avoid some tangles since you can see right were the line is in the water. Trout have never seemed to notice it, not even brookies.
I've never used a leader other than the 8" of clear line tied to eagle claw hooks.
This thread makes me want to go fishing.
I've never actually used the Spider Wire, so can't comment on it. The Power Pro braid is what I always use now and love it for everything from my trout rods all the way up to 80lb on a Tarpon rod.I tried spider wire but didn't like the stringy aspect of it. I still have most of it so may give it another try.
I'm glad to see how many guy use spinners.
The biggest trout that I've caught was snagged on a rainbow minnow Rapala. She was right around 20" and very fat and pregnant. This was at the bridge over the Soque east of Helen. She fought like a big bass.

Well, I kind of feel like a dumbass. I've tried these before, but did not know they were designed to be fished under a float and was unimpressed. Going to give them another try. Thanks!https://troutmagnet.com/
