Honorable mention: Move the bait every few inches every seconds the trout love it when the smell moves and the bait moves

[@WillyFish]

A great tip on slow days Daisan!

[@shawneldridge4465]

🎣 I enjoy using those Berkley powerbait 3-inch floating trout worms that comes in those little reusable bags and then you got those Berkley powerbait 1/2 inch nymphs as well. If you bounce them or jerk them off the bottom the right way you can start a feeding frenzy. I actually have more luck with these powerbait bags then the bait jars. More useful great tips and information, which by the way is awesome. Like always I enjoyed the video. Tight lines

[@WillyFish]

Oh, I like the bouncing them off the bottom!

Just saw a guy catch a 21inch rainbow of them. Im gonna give em a try😂

[@tonylwright]

The best powerbait IMO is the green with just "garlic" written on the lid. As far as rigging it, a carolina rig with bullet sinker, bead, and barrel swivel is the way to go. About 20" of fluorocarbon leader and a #8 bait holder hook. I haven't used it in years though. I field staff for Appalachian Baits products and I've switched to their dough baits exclusively.

[@WillyFish]

you can't go wrong with green and garlic

[@theoriginalrabbithole]

Pink has been proven to be the best color for trout.

That was very educational and you have a great day and thanks a lot

Thank you Duane, I hope the info helps you catch more trout.

[@TheIconicFisherman]

Pro tip for powerbait: if you're using a circle hook which by nature requires more hook exposure in order to work. Pack the powerbait into a quarter inch ball then put it through the hook and slide it up to the eye of the hook. Then pack it around the eye of the hook instead, leaving the rest of the hook exposed and that will increase your hookup ratio when using circle hooks.

[@user-pn7vb3rf2s]

Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@WillyFish]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnelm7653]

Thanks for the tips

[@WillyFish]

You are welcome John

[@THOMASDRELICH]

Also don’t cast it dry and let it soak in water before you cast it . That way it won’t fly off

[@WillyFish]

Great tip Thomas!

[@josemonge6622]

I always use a two treble hook setup with a sliding sinker. I have never had much luck with single hook. It's probably because I have found more success with gulp than powerbait. As we all know gulp falls off the hook more easily so a treble is necessary.

[@kennethbrescia9351]

Size 16 treble with dough. Size 8 egg hook with power eggs. Size 6 or 8 with mouse tail. I love trout attractant or corn scents. Slip sinker rig works good.

[@WillyFish]

great tips!

What lb leader?

Tip number11 a fisheye lens can make your fish look bigger. Also avoid pictures that show comparison. Don't show your hand next to it or something they know the size of. Unless it's a beast then yes show it off.

[@hihhuli3914]

never gotten a single trout in my ~14 year long fishing career lol. Gotta admit I have not fished for it that much, but have definitely spent some time trying to get my first trout. Bought some powerbait paste today and will try it in a couple of days to see if I can finally catch one...

[@WillyFish]

Right on! Give it a try and catch that first one!

[@navajorezathlete1202]

Any luck,

[@hihhuli3914]

@@navajorezathlete1202 nope

[@skazcix4141]

I never catch trout on power bait I usually catch them on nightcrawlers I heard meal worms work good too. I just feel like they like the natural look and the movement of the nightcrawler. I will admit I don’t really fish with powerbait because the few times I have I don’t get bites but maybe it does work good I just prefer nightcrawlers or any worm

[@robertrineer1152]

Go with smaller crank baits man. Me an my kiddo slam them with crankbaits

[@garyfosterjr.4509]

Hermens Outdoors,i have been going trout fishing for nearly one month,but no trout yet. i don`t really know what i`m doing wrong,but,i am using the right bait. please,give me some more advicecon what to do,to cath these trout.

[@WillyFish]

Hey Gary, what type of water are you fishing, bank fishing or trolling? I would try eggs, small spinners, powerbait, and jigs. Go more natural colors too

[@gooddoggo2258]

Are you sure they’ve stocked it yet? Are you seeing other people catch trout?

[@yellowtailhunter]

I had amazing luck with the Red wight and blue stuff with original scent during a fourth of July impulse buy.

[@WillyFish]

Right on! love that USA color!

[@tp-mh2ji]

Fly Yellow Fly White These always work!

[@carpcounty]

What size hook do you use for the power bait?

[@WillyFish]

Size 12 baitholder hook

[@coldslugger8219]

Cool vid what I like doing is leaving my trout nymphs and worms in the power bait seal it for a week then fish them covered in that power bait scent it works sometimes

[@Edwardcruzz13]

Hermen buddy ! How do you know when the power bait has expired?...is it the feel or consistency?..or..

[@WillyFish]

Great question Edward, I would say anything 10+ years after opening or if the bait is super dry then it's expired...

[@xavierseals4021]

how do you know?

[@Anonymous...............]

Girlfriend sees glitter then smells your fingers or what lol?

[@edwardgolonka-jd4sc]

Maybe they'll make mescal tequila and they can eat the worm 😊

[@WillyFish]

Oh yeah!

[@kamronpfuller]

I pack it around the hooks and it don't say

Fishing is only fun when you can actually catch them. You stand there for an hour in the heat and mosqutos, even an fishing addict like myself will get turned off of trout...

[@isaiahguillen8496]

A friend told me “it’s called fishing not catching”

[@diaryofagoat-lass1023]

@@isaiahguillen8496 I agree. Same for hunting.

[@diaryofagoat-lass1023]

I sure hope some of these tips will help. I've tried dough and power eggs with a simple bobber and had ZERO luck. A pink inline spinner I got two hard yanks and that was it. No stupid little fish is outsmarting me!

[@cbssports5131]

Dude, you obviously know what you’re talking about but you don’t explain anything for new anglers. You said be mindful of your rigging and be simple but you don’t show any different styles of rigging. You said, depending on the conditions you want to be aware of which colors you use, but you never tell anybody which colors to use under what conditions. Unless you’re an experienced angler, you have no idea what you’re talking about in this video. Good stuff but break it down for the newbies.

[@mtnslyr]

I stoped listening when u mentioned color is important but didn’t say how to choose the color. That’s like saying location is important but not talking about how to find good location.

[@cgivo1991]

He did u should have just kept watching
