Mine were real eggs... again, I never could figure out how they got them in a jar. But I was just a kid.

I've tried the artificial, or maybe they were real? I'm not sure. But i've tried em on my home waters and don't really remember having much luck with them. If anything i think it was catfish that ate them.

We've talked about the Super Duper, and now Vince mentions salmon eggs. When I was a kid my favorite bait for trout were those gorgeous globes of fishy goodness. I never could understand how they got them into a jar, or how they could be 'cheese' flavored or color them so brightly, etc. But I sure used them.

I wonder, now, if they would work for bluegill.

Allan, I have used power bait, green giant niblets corn, velveta cheese, worms, salmon eggs, and a variety of artificals to catch trout. I believe in using whatever works on the waters I am fishing. I have had "purists" on occasion look down their noses at my baits, but they usually are the ones not catching anything.

When my dad and I went on a guided trout fishing trip on the White river, we used some yellow powerbait and corn, and also some artificial salmon eggs i believe. And we just fished them off the bottom. Man that was fun!

Don't laugh.  Powerbait.

The other one I caught was on a Super Duper.  The trout here have been difficult to catch lately.  I went there yesterday after work, and while I was getting rigged up, one guy caught two back-to-back on a red PowerBait Trout Worm.  The second one was a big one!

The lake gets stocked today.  Don't know if I'll get out of work soon enough to hit it before I have to go home.

Congrats on your first yak Rainbow, Allan. What did you catch it on?

I get you, Allen. My 'yak gets a little funky during the season, too!

I always say, "Mud gives it character"

David, it's just some sand/dirt/mud.  Stuff gets on my boots/sandals when I launch the kayak, and falls off into the footwells.  I need to spray it out.  Most of the gunk washes out through the scupper holes on it's own.
