We decided we were going to pin the two trout fishing lures up against themselves in a dueling challenge of performance, landing ratios, and so much more!

Nice video. I would like to add that the Kastmaster was 1/4 ounce and the Thomas was 1/6th. This does make a difference if you're looking for consistency for an experiment like this. The Thomas does also come in 1/4oz. I personally, would have used the same weight on each lure to make them as similar as possible. I do own Kastmasters, and a couple different Thomas', and my personal experience is that's they're both great lures, but it just depends on the action the fish are responding to at the moment. I have walked streams with the Kastmaster and been without a single bite, would switch to my Thomas Rough Rider, or EP spoon, and "suddenly" get a fish on the first cast with it. At the same time, I have also had my Kastmaster repeatedly hit after a cast before I can even start to reel it (albeit, it was right after stocking). Bottom line... Get both, give yourself some variety or at the very least a reliable back up should you unfortunately snag up and lose one.

I'd like to see Kastmaster vs. Kastmaster. Same exact lure, no time limit, only difference is treble hook on one and replacement in line single hook on the other. No time limit, wait till both lures have had 20 bites and see what percentage of those bites land in the boat.

I've had good luck fishing Thomas Bouyant lures like spinners in creeks and rivers here in Montana. There's been plenty of days they outfished Panther Martins and Blue Fox spinners.

@mojoerunnin6224 3 жыл бұрын

I've been successful with both lures. Great vid! The only knock I have is that they fish differently with different retrieve / trolling speeds. Bouyants require a slower retrieve to trigger more strikes. Should also match color and brightness of the sun.

@grr1483 3 жыл бұрын

From my experience the red speckled gold Thomas Bouyants work the best but you must troll them very slowly. The trolling speed (judging from the paddling pace) appears to be too fast. To determine the best speed, watch the tip of your line - you want to see your rod tip swagger ever so slightly. If it moves too fast, slow down your trolling speed. I have also noticed most of my takes occur when I'm turning/changing direction which causes the lure to slow down even more and get a little deeper..

@simongilchrist3329 Күн бұрын

For me, the wacky worm was the can’t-fail bait for me. This year, even that isn’t producing. Probably the heat. The Kastmaster, 1/4 and 3/8 oz has been a consistent winner ever since I started using them, and they’ll catch almost anything. I’ve caught pike, bass, perch, walleye, trout, and salmon. Any time of day, any temperature. Good for open water, good on the ice. Can’t say enough about them. If I had to complain about something, slightly more than usual the fish unhooks itself. Maybe upgrade the hooks? Not enough of a problem to bother though.
