How To Spin Fish for Trout

I'm Albert and I'm here to talk about how easy it is to get into spin fishing for trout. You really don't need much to do that. Just a medium light action spinning rod, some line, some snap swivels, and some lures. It also helps to have something to unhook your fish, like a pair of forceps. Pretty cheap and inexpensive. Maybe some clippers. But you can do it pretty inexpensively and you don't have to even carry much with you. This I literally pulled out of my bag, it's just a small tackle box with a few spinners in it and a few snap swivels, that I just keep in here and keep in my pocket to replace anything that I lose or if I want to try something of a different color. It's handy to have a net so you can land your fish quickly, especially if water temperatures are warmer, and get them unhooked and released. That's literally all you need.

What I have here for spin fishing for trout... An important thing you want is a snap swivel. It avoids a lot of line twist and it gives the spoon or spinner that you're going to use, like this little Jake's lure right here, really good action. There are a variety of knots. Two of the common ones that work really well are the improved cinch knot and also the trialing knot. I tend to use the trialing knot pretty frequently. And with that not you want to go through the eye, this'll be kind of hard to see, twice, holding the little loop that you just made open and then wrap the line around, about three to four times, the leader part like that, if you can see that. And then just put that through both loops. It's also important to wet that knot before you cinch it down so that the line slides together. Just lick it and then just pull it tight like that. That's the trialing knot.

And then you can clip off the end with your handy little clippers, and then that snap swivel, you just attach it right on the eye of your lure that you're intending to use and you're ready to go. Just like that. And that free spins on here like this so that it doesn't twist your line, and then you'll avoid a lot of rats nests in your reel.
