The 10 Best Trout Lures of 2020

• Material: ABS/Fabric
• Weight: 0.54 oz.

Apusale’s trout lure takes the top spot because it is designed to swim as naturally as possible. This is made possible by a 7-part segmented body, which swims in an S-shape motion to accurately mimic a fish’s movement.

The lure is also fitted with 3D holographic eyes, which make it look more real and therefore, more attractive to trout.

Apart from that, the unit’s segments are built using tough and eco-friendly ABS material, which is odorless and has scale colors and patterns that resemble real fish.

These segments are joined together by a tough textile fabric that is also easily flexible to allow for natural swimming. Combined, the two materials can withstand a pulling force of up to 37.5 lbs., which means you can catch very large fish.

You also get 4 pieces per set, 6 rust-proof hooks per piece, metal earrings with double connections for a sturdy connection to the line and a relatively lightweight 0.54 oz. design per piece.

The only problem is that the ABS material is not flavored or salted to make the fish bite longer.

• Material: Metal, Plastic
• Weight: 17.6 oz.

This product is the best trout lure value pack because it comes as a set of 102 pieces that include crankbaits, spinnerbaits, worms, metal spinning lures, and many others.

As for the crankbaits, they are fitted with realistic 3D eyes and are painted to closely resemble actual fish.

All the pieces are made using environmentally friendly metal and plastic and collectively weigh 17.6 oz. The pieces don’t have the same weight, but when divided among the 102, each lure is quite light.

You also get a double-layer see-through box packaging for easy carrying and convenient storage but the only problem is that the set is expensive.

• Material: Brass
• Weight: 0.03 - 1 oz.

If you are a bit tight on cash, you should check out Acme’s 036608-P because it is very affordable. Despite this, the lure is built with durability in mind. It is made using solid brass, which does not break or bend and is corrosion-resistant even when exposed to saltwater.

Attached to the lure is a high-quality split ring with 3 hooks. These are made using stainless steel for rustproof performance and the hooks are designed to strike deep with tight holding.

This construction gives it a 10 – 15-lb. test weight, which is ideal for medium-heavy spinning, trolling or baitcasting in fresh or saltwater. On the downside, you only get a single piece per set.

• Weight: 0.32 oz.

Berkley PowerBait is unique because it has a scent and flavor impregnated outer shell, which attracts hard-to-catch fish such as trout. This flavor also entices the fish to bite for longer so that you can have more time to set your hook.

That said, the lure is a worm type and is designed to move in a life-like manner. This imitates the swimming action of small worms and forage that are trout delicacies, which helps to attract more of them.

Other features include multiple color options that are bright enough to catch the fish’s attention and 15 pieces per set, which gives you a lot of worms to set on multiple rods.

The only problem is that the pieces don’t come with hooks. You have to buy them separately then rig the worm to the hook.

• Weight: 0.09 oz.

If you prefer a cricket/ grasshopper-shaped trout lure, Rebel’s F73314 is your best bet. It has a very realistic design that looks like crickets or grasshoppers in the different stages in their life cycle and exhibits excellent side-to-side wiggling when cranked.

This design also makes it very versatile because it can be used as a crankbait or for topwater fishing techniques.

That said, the lure has a cranking depth of 0-3 ft., which is ideal for fishing close to the surface, and has a lightweight design (0.09 oz.) that is ideal for shallow waters.

You also get 6 hooks that hold tightly to the fish but on the downside, only one lure is included per set.

• Weight: 1.25 - 4 oz.

• Material: ABS
• Weight: 0.32 - 0.64 oz.

This piece from Dynamic Lures has a slow slinking design, which is ideal for trout because they prefer swimming at the top of the water column. That said, it has an optimal target depth of 0-2 ft., which is the ideal depth for catching trout.

Apart from that, the lure is fitted with a multiple rattling BB inner chamber that is designed to keep it in an upright position at all times.

Other features include a slim, low profile design that has a small front lip and has impressive maneuverability in the water.

You also get 6 ultra-sharp hooks and a sturdy coated ABS plastic shell. However, only a single piece is included in the set.

• Material: ABS/Fabric
• Weight: 0.7 oz.

Truscend’s trout lure is very similar to Apusale’s piece because it has a multi-jointed body but with 6 parts instead of 7. These parts are connected by a tough mesh-woven fabric that is very durable but still maintains high flexibility to enable swimming in an S-shape motion.

Aside from that, the lure is fitted with realistic 3D eyes for close resemblance to real fish while 6 extremely sharp hooks dig into and grab the fish very firmly. These mustard hooks are made using rustproof stainless steel for enhanced durability.

Other features include a realistic 3D printed body that resembles the color and patterns of actual baitfish, a slow sinking design that can be used at any depth and a 3-piece set with each lure measuring 3.9” in length.

The only problem is that the unit is not scented or flavored for enhanced fish attraction and more bites.

• Material: Brass
• Weight: 0.14 - 0.42 oz.

Coming as a 16-piece set, Plusinno’s trout lure comes packed in a carry bag for easy transportation. This bag is fitted with a ring that allows you to attach it to your fishing bag or even pants for convenient carrying.

That said, the 16 pieces are spinning baits and all are made using durable brass material, which is then painted or plated using silver for rustproof performance. This makes them ideal for fresh or saltwater use.

Each spinning bait has brightly colored strike-attractor sleeves and high-quality blades that continuously flash and vibrate in water to attract fish. They also have 3 sharp treble hooks that dig deep into the trout’s flesh and hold it in place.

On the downside, with such a relatively high number of pieces, there’s no wide variety such as a combination of worms, swimbait and others.

• Material: PVC
• Weight: 0.5 oz.

With its shrimp-shaped design, Sougayilang fishing lure is fitted with appendages that make it swim more naturally while creating more turbulence in the water. This is further enhanced by a ribbed body, which gives a more turbulent action to attract the fish’s attention.

Other than that, the lure comes in a bright blue color that remains very vivid in water. This ensures it attracts all kinds of fish and remains visible even in murky waters.

The product comes as a set of 6 lures and each is made using environmentally-friendly PVC plastic that is reusable and preserved for long term use.

On the downside, no hooks are included in the set. You have to buy them separately then attach them before going out to fish.
