a 3" pikie works well on Brown trout and salmon... I just dont think I've come accross a rainbow( trout) yet big enough to eat one yet... Rainbow flash and goldfish( as close as I could get to CCB's original color) have worked the best on 'em..I've got the specs at the house if you like.. make them slim, not like we make striper pikies..
In our neck of the woods, I troll stocked ponds in my canoe using a 3" rapala with a rainbow pattern. that's little to whittle, but they are effective.
I agree with the previous posts...rapala sized plugs are very effective as are spoons and J-plugs fished deep. I agree with the lexan lips as well, very durable.
