Smack Fall Trout With Tasmanian Devils
T
he Tasmanian Devil Lure came to life in the late‘ 70s when the Wigston Family of Australia decided to market the lure that they first began developing in the early‘ 60s.
Tasmanian Devil lures are hard to categorize. They aren’ t really a plug and they certainly aren’ t a spoon either.
What is certain is that the lures have a seductively erratic action that mimics the movements of a panicked baitfish well. In short the action they display is perfect for tempting hyper aggressive fall trout!
These lures aren’ t painted. Instead the color is locked between the layers of clear plastic that make up the lure body. This way the colors never get dull or chipped. The lures work great when trolled and they are even deadlier when cast and retrieved. Tasmanian Devils are very aerodynamic so they cast easily.
On the retrieve, imparting a few twitches of the rod tip causes the lure to dip, dive and act generally wounded. This is the kind of abrupt movement that triggers strikes from predatory gamefish particularly fish like trout and landlocked salmon that prey of baitfish such as shad and pond smelt.- www. tasmaniandevillures. net.

Needlefish: Must Have Spoons For Trout Trollers
