So, what are the best Squidgies for catching trout in Australian waters? To be totally honest, we really hate trying to answer this sort of question… about any species! If we reply that “a Bloodworm Wriggler is the best Squidgies for bream” it implies that everything else is second best, which it isn’t! There are many, many models, sizes and colours of Squidgies that will catch a specific species of fish, including trout. It’s far more important to match your choice to the place you’re fishing, the depth and current speed at the time, what you think (or know) the fish are eating, your previous experiences and so on. Even then, there are at least half a dozen possible combinations and variations that will work a treat in any given situation. Having said all of that, we do know that certain Squidgies have worked better over time than others when it comes to consistently luring trout… so here goes:
Historically, the very best and most effective Squidgies for trout have proven to be the Squidgies Fish in a range of sizes and natural colours. Lots of trout are also caught on 65, 80 and even 100mm Squidgies Wrigglers in Bloodworm and Wasabi colours.
