This may be the most underrated big fish bait on the market. The Stocker Trout was one of the first big baits to consistently put big bass in the boat, and still does. Don’t let the simplistic colors and design fool you, because they fool teen fish on a consistent basis. The Thigpin bros have produced a real winner here, and have the documented catches to prove it. More teen size bass have been taken from California’s Lake Casitas on the Stocker Trout Swimbait than probably any other bait. This is the reason that this bait from the 90’s is still around, it is still catching big fish. Fish this bait on a slow roll, and the clear plastic wings push the Stocker Trout in a very natural and unoffensive way. It will draw fish in to investigate, and since it gives off nearly no negative cues, big fish crush it. We suggest fishing this bait with a trap hook under the chin, and we can rig the bait for you if you would like.
