There are many lure options available to help you catch more speckled trout. Here are some of our most popular lures: Chuggers (MirrOlures), Rapala XRap Slashbait and Heddon Super Hook. These lures are designed to imitate the erratic movements of a speckled trout and attract strikes from the fish.
MirrOlures
The 52M series MirrOlures are a great bait for speckled trout fishing. It is very similar to the MirroDine suspendingbait. This bait is larger in profile and is designed to imitate grunts or pin fish. It can be used on grassy flats up to four feet deep. The 52M Series features a "19” colored pattern, which is particularly effective in water that is both weedy but also 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. The lure is attractive to speckled trout who will strike it with reckless abandon.
This top-water lure is great for targeting inshore prey. Use the MirrOlures top dog for a parallel cast, within two feet of the branches of a mangrove. This will attract snook, redfish, and trout, and also work well for tarpon in tidal creeks. Atop Dog and Popa Dog are also effective top water lures that are suspended on the surface of the water.
Chuggers
Chuggers are actually 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. Unfortunately, chuggers cannot be used to catch larger predators like pike and muskie. Here are some tips to help catch these gorgeous fish.
Try a weedless teaspoon. These spoons are excellent for use over oyster bars and seagrass bed. They are fluttering so it is important to tie them with a swivel. Slowly retrieve the lure. Particularly effective are shad tail lures. MirrOlure Popa Dog, another topwater lure, is also very popular. This lure can be fished in shallower water at 6 feet depth.
Rapala X-Rap Slashbait
Rapala's newest lure, the X-Rap, is now available. The lure features a long casting system with an irresistible rattle and integrated long casting. This bait is made with Permasteel hooks that are fastened to the body wire using stainsless steel. Large speckled trout will love its darting action and rolled tail.
The X-Rap shines in any fishing situation, from chilly fall days to clear blue water. The X-Rap has a profile that resembles a small, dinner-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 capture 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 will strike frog, rat, and fish lures, so you will need to choose the right ones for your species. Spoons make excellent lures to catch these fish. They have a high contrast and can create water movement. This lure is extremely durable and will not fade in water.
These lures are brightly colored with realistic-looking eyes and hook bodies. They are much more durable than other lures. Because they can generate a lot water, they are also suitable for topwater fisherman. These hooks are extra-sharp, so your prey will stay where it is supposed to.

How To
The Best Fishing Spot
To find the best fishing spots, you must know what kind of fish you want to catch. Decide whether you want to fish deep or shallow waters. Deep sea fishing is expensive and requires a boat. Shallow water fishing is done from shore, so there's no cost involved. Deep water fishing would be the best option for trout fishermen. However, if you're looking for barracuda, you'll have to head out to deeper waters.
Depending on your preference, there are many types of fishing spots. Some places offer only one type of fishing while others have several options. One example is that some areas are known for their bass fishing and others specialize in fly-fishing. Some locations are also famous for their shark fishing or crabbing.
The best way for you to decide where to go is to consider your budget, what you want to do, and how long it will take. Do you enjoy camping? If so, you might be interested in a spot near a lake. Are you more into city life? Maybe you prefer the beach. You might enjoy canoeing and sailing, scubadiving, kayaking, and surfing.
It doesn't matter if you don’t know anything about fishing. You could always ask someone who does. They can tell you everything, even where to go.
You might also consider searching online for "fishing places near me". You will get many ideas. You might be able to narrow down your choices by looking at reviews and ratings. There are plenty of websites that allow you to do this.
Once you've decided on a specific location, make sure to visit it before you leave. You should always have the directions handy as sometimes it can take longer to get there than you expected. Make sure to bring all the necessary items. Don't forget your tackle box, bait, and sunscreen!
It is also a good idea research the weather conditions at the fishing spot. Seek out the forecast to see the best times of day. If the weather is changing, it's a good idea to make changes to your plans.
