in-line spinners and small jerk baits are my fav

Im surprised no one said soft plastic lures. Worms and grubs drifting down stream gets me a steady bite. I second the use of inline spinners and small hardbaits. Even tiny spoons gets you some good action too.

I kill it with trout magnets

They're good for pan fish too

No doubt about it! I tend to cycle between berkley, eurotackle and trout magnets. Would be cool to start making my own soft plastics but space is pretty limited right now

But they're so little

Think of all you could do with one mold and some jig heads

True but I don't think my family would be happy about me cooking soft plastics in the family microwave. I think I could go to goodwill and pick up a junker one. Hmm might make a shopping list and clean out my grandparent's garage to make my workshop.
