whats yours and how do you use it?
 
Rivers/streams or ponds/lakes?

I found fishing off the bottom was killer on stocked trout in a pond. Use a sliding egg sinker just barely large enough to get you on the bottom and then float some powerbait. Use the smallest gear possible.
 
both types moving and stagnant water. surface, middle and bottom

i to fish bottom with floating bait in still water but i use fixed weight
 
If im trout fishing it usually camping and unless Im fly fishing. Its for food- In that case I run a 1/2 egg slider to a barrel swivel. 6 pound main 4 pound 36 in leader to a #12 single egg hook with 2 chartruese + glitter power eggs.
Then I drink beer and by the time I have a couple down I'm limited and I go back to camp to drink more and kill bees.
 
My favorite is either running a spoon or plug on my mainline with no swivel or leader. Cast out then proceed to troll. For the plugs I usually let the line out quite a ways. This is from my pontoon.

Bees do fear him! So do beers.
 
beer is huge part of fishing for me idk when it was introduced a but good idea and for bees they make great bait while there still alive just got get em on the hook with out getting stung lol
 
Size 2 spinner on 4 pound test on ultra light rod. I'll keep my fav color combos to myself though ;)
 
I second that... a home twisted #2 bullet body spinner w/ a brass blade. A variant of Bill Williamson "Cricket" pattern. It's my favorite hands down!
 
I've been having good luck with the half red and gold little cleo. If nothing else works then I go to my old reliable: a small piece of night crawler with a single Balls of Fire egg on the tip of the hook. It never fails, I float it under a bobber.:thumb:
 
I used to swear by spinners but it seems that the last couple of years they have been letting me down. :sad:
