Triple trout in Salt water
So there is an awesome angler named Kevin Mattson that fishes swim baits in the salt for calicos and i was considering the possiblity of other salt water applications of big baits. I want to take a 10" triple trout and do a custom colorway of a mac pattern or sardine. I think the stinger hooks and split rings would need to be bulked up to handle the abuse, but I really think the swim action on these would be deadly tossed into a boil of yellows. I just want to get some opinions from guys that are knowledgeable on yellowtail fishing. Do you think the bait could hold up or is it out of the question. I know I want to start using it around the kelp for checkers anyway.

I was wondering the same thing and I think it will work! I have few 8" trout pattern that I don't use. I might try coloring it and use it for yellow... Hmm now if I am good a painter like you lol
I think it will work for sure I might take it to San Clemente to try it out on checkers next week 45 |

Check out the savage gear glide swimmers. Maybe a little cheaper than a TT around $16. And already good paint schemes. Can't speak from experience on holding up to yellowtail. the glide swimmer only has one joint, but great action

I have a few TT and I may be wrong, but I don't think the hinges could hold up to the abuse a yellow could dish out. A double digit largemouth sure, but those mossbacks are something serious. Just my two pennies.

This was my worry too. Oh well. I'm definitely going to run one down the lanes for some calico action though. I've seen the damage they can do
