Changing up size, sound and profile helps at times. Going from a Super Spook, Jr to a She Dog doesn't seem like much, but it can make a world of difference. Generally, I find the bigger, noisier ones are best in a chop. And smaller, more subtle baits are better in calm. Lots of people like to use braid - it does make it easier to work - but it sucks should you get a snarl in mid cast and your eight dollar bait is sent into orbit. It especially sucks it it's a confidence bait and that was the last one. I like the stretch and forgiveness of mono when a big one is approaching endgame. And I just don't like to "baby" trout any more than necessary. Fishing them under birds is no big deal, only caught one in all my years and a few minutes and a towel over its head and beak satisfied all parties. And it does tend to weed out the micro trout somewhat. Agree with varying retrieve, but when a fish is just popping it, keep working the bait. I've found that if a reticent fish gets a good look at the bait (like when you stop) it will pull off. |

Once I get a "look", then I've got the confidence to commence figuring them suckers out. |

Pink Skitterwalk 11 for trout and Pink Skitterwalk 8 for reds what I throw 95% of the time. I love other TW's too but I have found the Pink SW11 and 8 to be the most consistant for me.

When working suspended lures, does color play more of a role? And are you walking it just like a TW?

Think of color in terms of light, dark, and natural. Let the conditions dictate which one is suitable. There are many color reference charts on the net you can google to achieve the best contrasting colors for water clarity and also weather conditions. Save to a folder on your phone for quick references. The beauty of a suspending lure is its versatility. You can work it fast and keep it high in the water column or work slower. If fish are feeding aggressively keep it high in the water column, otherwise you will have to find the right retrieval for that day.
