anyone use big trout swimbaits here or swimbaits in particular? Thought aboutit tried it. Never stayed with it long enough though.

I've never used any of them (Castalic comes to mind) - in freshwater compounds with stripers I could see tossing a trout bait

- but for saltwater I think bunker, silversides, anchovies, whatever they are on - match the hatch.

Im sure bass eat searun trout but I bet that is a small percentage of their diet.

They would work in any lake that stocks trout. I used them in a small local stocked pon and caught some decent bass.

Yes they do work in NJ for LMBass.I caught a real pig she went about 7lbs in Greenwich Lake.It was during trout season and she slammed it.It was a Castaic 7"Rainbow.Caught five more between 3-5 lbs that day.It was during the Catch and Release season.I wish someone would throw a early March tourney on a Fall Trout Stocked Lake.It would be a Awesome Weigh-In.HRL
