Huddleston Deluxe 8" Trout - $24.99

The Huddleston Deluxe is the most realistic trout imitation swimbait on the market today. Designed by one of the premier lure designers on the West Coast, Ken Huddleston, the Huddleston Deluxe Trout is the zenith of the lure maker's art. Combining uncanny realism and a subtle swimming action with the correct movement and wobble, the Huddleston Deluxe will entice strikes from even the wariest of big bass.

The Huddleston Deluxe comes in four different rates of fall, 0, 5, 12, and 16. These numbers represent the approximate depth (in feet) the bait will run on a slow, steady retrieve.

While all four models feature a wire harness that provides the opportunity to add a belly hook, the ROF 12 and ROF 16 models come with a top hook molded into the bait. The ROF 0 and ROF 5 models do not come with a hook. Try a split ring and 2/0 premium treble hook, or a 4/0 double frog hook, secured by a piece of wire or paper clip pushed up into the belly of the bait.

The Huddleston Deluxe ROF 0 is a floating bait that remains perfectly vertical, with no rolling over, and is killer as a deadstick trout lure. The ROF 5 excels as a shallow water swimbait or any time the trout are near the surface, especially when the water is still cool in the spring. The ROF 12 and 16 will be for working deeper structure or a faster retrieve in shallower water. All four ROF's are 8 inches in length and feature the most lifelike finish you will ever find in a trout bait. Try different ROF's for different situations.

Try using the ROF 0 and ROF 5 on a slow, lazy retrieve on the surface to create a wake that will call big fish from a long way away.

The Huddleston Deluxe 8" Trout is a big, heavy bait. Twenty to thirty pound test and a long, heavy or extra heavy rod is recommended.

Comments: Hands down the greatest trout swimbait out there. Awesome action and extremely realistic. Only problem is with the rigging on them. Even though there is a place for a stinger hook its just to risky to put a hook on the bottom because fear of loosing it. But once you find a good enough way to put a hook on the top its killer. Just super glue weak spots every once in a while and your set.

Comments:The problems I have with this bait is that the paint comes off at the head (I ordered the rainbow trout color, so i just filled in that part with black sharpie marker). Another problem is that the dots on the bait fade away after a while (but you can easily fix that with a sharpie marker by just filling in the dots). It has a great swimming action, better than any other soft-plastic swimbait ive used!
