best seatrout lures??? METALS - ULTIMATE GUIDE  

thanks for watching tony and the kind words, those little krills are great little lures too esp the blue/silver patterns 👍👍

the moresilda is a great lure for turning those tricky fish, i wish we had brookies in n.ireland they look a stunnin fish, thanks for sharing your story, hope you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for leaving a comment 👍

hey no probs hope you found it usefull, have a gander at my other lure guide videos and many thanks for watchin 👍👍

the straight lures (sandeel types)can be twitched at the end of a pause or just retrieved with a straight retrieve as reguards to the metals that are curved ive found a straight retrieve with a veried amount of spin stops (pending on water temp, more spin stops the colder it is and more heat less spin stops and more speed) seems to work best for me but its certainly worth using many types of retrieve during a session until you find which is best given on that day, i seem to find 7/8 turns of the handle then pause a second then start the retrieve again works best but seatrout are a locality and what works in one place might not work in another but always variety is the key i think, i hope this helped a little 👍

thanks for commenting steven, hey ive landed a few myself over the years on just plain blue and silver jig type lures so i wont knock them mate, i hope you find some useful information in my video, ive landed a brave few over the years on these baits, some work great in certain areas better than others too probably due to available food sources its just finding whats the lure on the day! thanks for watching mate and leaving a comment, if you could drop a sub and a like even better 👍👍

yes certainly john mate, all DEARA areas operate 1st march to 31st october, ALL seatrout and salmon now have to be returned by law and theres restrictions now on treble hooks just to make things even trickier!! hope that helps mate 👍

thanks kev mate, im glad so many people are liking the videos, hopefully have a few more up before the season opens for added inspiration 😂😂

when it comes to the fresh mate they become a very different fish and id be inclined to agree with you on reds and brighter colours, light cones are almost the reverse effect in fresh and where blues and silvers fade quicker, reds yellows oranges stay plus when there in fresh they usually are in spawn mode so there hyper agressive many a fine afternoon ive had with the big size 5 mepps with red dots!! thanks for sharing mate and again many thanks for the watch 👍👍

thanks for the watch!! glad there was something of interest in it for you 👍👍

hey thanks for watching and subscribing 👍 the smaller lures always go well in the summer months ive had many a good fish on the small tobies and ive seen me fish nothing but silver metals all season too, theyll always a place in box, in reguards to rust when ive finished using them ill make sure there bone dry goin into the box again when im fishing and then as you said once im home just a run under warm water and a proper dry off and the usually keep me well, again thanks for watching mate always good to hear from other anglers and get their feed back 👍👍

@@riverfield713 thanks for the kind words, doesnt take much to remove the red even a small phillips flat head will lift most paint on the lures, just dont dig to deep most of the lures are only silver plate on brass you dont want to many scratches thou you dont need to be too forensic, hope this helps and thanks for watching 👍👍🎣

cheers mate, glad you enjoyed the content 👍👍

hi tony, thanks for the view and comment, the hansen strippers can easily enough got on ebay, braids a tricky customer its took me a few seasons to get it right but i find the 2 major factors in knots is how its spooled on the reel and how you handle it when fishing, firstly when you spool up make sure it comes off the spool the direction your reeling and reel threw a cloth thats damp so your spooling it on with plenty of tension, when fishing with i find if you feather your line when casting it stops the line being able to belly then as start picking up to retrieve ill stickin my index finger out so the line hits off it until the line takes the weight of the lure again and the slacks off the line because i think thats were the major wind knots start with it, the tighter line you can keep on braid the less it knots, i hope ive explained that in a way that makes sense mate, again thanks for the kind words and supporting the channel 👍👍

glad your liking them john mate, hopefully have a few more up before the season starts, cheers for the comment and view mate 👍👍

if your boating it can be a little more difficult, they pick up on the vibrations big time i think but saying that its far from impossible, the slackwater between the river and the entrance to the bay at castle ward is always worth a throw off the boat in the summer! thanks for watching mate and kind words 👍👍

at this time of year if you can find the fish they can be easier to tempt than a well feed summer fish which can be almost the hardest fish to tempt in the united kingdom, ive generally found a slow steady retrieve this time of year is the most effective way to fish your lure but when it comes to summer fish its probably the other way round, reterieve in until you think its too fast, seatrout are hell for following lures and not taking, you can try using a fly dropper above your lure this can sometimes provoke them to strike more or try a spin/stop if you notice a follow, the latter method usually will make a following trout make a last ditch grab for your lure. fish that jump in the summer i think are trying to shed lice and sometimes have no incline to take a lure at all but i always bare in mind its takes energy to jump and to make energy you food, i recently changed most of my treble hooks now for vmc single inlines size 2 and 4 and they seem to cover my lures quite well, 2 things there make sure your hooks are like pins, the salt toughens there mouths and a blunt hook can just rub against a fishes mouth and never connect and if your hooks arent connected with 2 splits add a second it does make a difference, if youve found an area that you can see them in youve won half the battle esp at this time of year they tend to move around in shoals and could frequent an area one night and be a mile away the next, ive targeted seatrout for 25 years there are probably bigger experts than me all i can do is tell people what ive found, i hope this helps a little bit and it made sense and the bit of advice i tell everyone is just keep floggin away at it 👍👍

@@whitetroutchannel brilliant advice, thanks for taking the time. I always use 2 splits, I'll get some vmc singles and I had a feeling the ones Ive had takes from might be easier and behave more like sea fish at this time of year. Basically I ve always seen them in the same areas as bass, mostly fast shallow water over or around rocks and weed, there isn't a river for miles so hopefully they are there to feed, we'll see what happens as the season goes on... Thanks again 😊👍

@@dazlee3257 if youve found them that far from a watercourse of fresh theyll def be feeding mate!! where i fish is the largest saltwater inlet in the uk but weve no bass but ive read often that thou they live in the same areas the fish rarely mix, anytime mate ask any questions and ill always try my best to help with an answer 👍👍

@@whitetroutchannelCheers buddy, I'm just across the Irish sea on the N. E coast of anglesey, plenty of bass.They're 100% in same areas as bass I see them regularly in summer and autumn, now a challenge would be one of each in the same session from the same mark 🤔

@@dazlee3257 i dont think you be 2 far off landing both in a session if you keep usin a solvpiilen, they both love sandeel, during the summer id have good success with the 16g savage gear seeker i.s p. and ive seen quite a few videos of bass hammering those too, get it on camera if you do mate! love to see that 👍

i love the little moresilda lures, theyve landed quite a few seatrout for me too, thank you for watching and leaving a comment 👍

sadly mate greater fishermen than me have tried and failed to get a good hook up rate on a toby even hugh falkus described them as the best attractor and worst hooker of sea-trout he suggest using a stiff nylon hook link between lure and hook, make sure your trebles are needle sharp too when fishing the salt makes there mouths tough and a lot of the time the hook hasnt went threw into them, mate i only use toby's really in the salt and estuary, i know a lot of guys use them in freshwater too but i prefer a spinning blade then, but id guess the toby has caught me the most fish over the years and lost me the most lol cheers for the view and comment mate 👍👍

you can start on march 1st right threw to oct 31st, theres always fish in the lough, the only month of the year i rarely see them is december because they are in the streams and rivers that run into the lough at that time of year

thanks mate, glad you got something from it 👍👍

a good 8ft spinning rod (10-30g) helps get the longer casts when needed, i use 15lb braid to help get lures from the weed or 2 bully fish away from patches of kelp, personally ive not used them but ive seen fish caught with the Fiissh black minnow and i know berkley gulp worms (ragworm) are used in scandanavia to catch them, but they are worth a shout mate, some areas different lures work better than others, half the fun is going out and trying yourself! thanks for leaving a comment and the view mate 👍👍

@@whitetroutchannel Caught my first one ever today mate. No bother about leaving comments I have enough questions to melt your head if you want I will spread them over a few vids.

@@weefunkster sorry mate i only seen this comment!! outstanding stuff gettin your 1st one, our season in northern ireland opens in 2 weeks so im dying to get out!! you ask away mate and ill get back as soon as i see the comment, my email is available on my channel pages if you prefer that but always open to chat about sea trout pal 👍👍

@@weefunkster ive heard some good things up that direction, there was a couple of videos a few years back on here and the fellas were gettin some monsters!! im sure could arrange somethin mate and get a flick out sometime, grab my email on channel pages mate and drop me a mail sometime

thats grim mate, hopefully some ideas for you in my mix of lures

i have to agree there mate, ive took quite a few on pilgrims over the years!! thanks for watching and commenting 👍👍

yes i always use 2 splits and a single hook! thanks for commenting

yes pal ive had fish on the 12g green olive and also the blue sardine, great lures and cast like bullets, another great lure was the old version of the dennet cecrill 10g but they discontinued and the new 1s just aint the same!!

@@whitetroutchannel ya iv have fish on the sardine one and the silver

@@FamasFTW98 theres a pearl white one thats very good too, all those microjig style lures are catchers, the physco spratt and slim minnow are another 2 lures in that style that ive had fish with too

dry them mate before you put them back into your box out fishin, then when your home rinse them under the tap dry them off again and that usually keeps my lures right mate

i done a lot of hunting threw auction websites, but your correct they are quite rare these days

@@whitetroutchannel they are made in denmark, my dad worked for Jensen then He was 13-14 years old. i was suprised that a englishman got one.

@@vilasvandal3539 really!! thats pretty cool that your dad worked for them!! im in northern ireland and i have to say they have a cult following here and one of the best sea-trout lures made, many thanks for sharing and leaving a comment my friend 👍👍
