Any brand of Size 4 trebles will work.

Location is a big factor to consider when targeting spawning trout. Since they're broadcast spawners, fishing areas with good tidal or wind-driven water movement tend to be productive, helping disperse their fertilized eggs. In my experience, shallow flats adjacent to drop-offs or along channel edges and main bay shorelines have been productive. Additionally, they'll feed heavily in between spawns to sustain their energy levels. So, finding areas with abundant baitfish is another important factor. In terms of lure choice, everything from soft plastics to topwaters will do the trick. Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any other questions.

I’d definitely recommend a paddle tail. It’s been great especially in stained water or high wind days.

I recommend amber or copper lenses for inshore or sight casting. I personally use Costas with a green mirror and amber lens. Other good brands are Smith and Purpose Built Optics.
