Hi all.
Seen online people using telescopic rods and a spinning reel on trout with decent success. What isn't clear or maybe its that it's 1am is what they are using to catch the fish.
Not so keen to get into fly fishing.
Cheers.

As for lure, if you don't want to get in to fly fishing, it's hard to go past a small Mepps spinner on light gear. I usually change the treble out for a single hook.
Mate both work well, the smaller softbaits look a bit more realistic and have used them on fussy trout when conventional toby's didnt work.
I like a selection of both soft baits and hard lures. But if I was forced to choice just one type it would soft baits. Mostly depends on the water you are fishing of course.
Mepps Black Fury or Black and gold Toby, if you cant catch a trout on one of those two then you simply cant catch trout.
Get a fly rod, it's not as difficult as it seems once you got the hang of it, and if you get bored you can catch kahawai at river mouths with nearly any streamer fly, and catching a kahawai on a fly rod is like fighting a marlin on a hand line.. awesome fun!
I just wanted a feed of fish. Was not interested in flapping around trying to find what fly pattern worked on a sunday in march at 3pm or whatever. I KNEW they liked worms and bread, so that is what I used
It worked everytime :P
Kiwijames-policing would be trout fishers since ages ago
