for a lure I like the orange / white small size of Len Thompson spoon. I like the mepps and panther martin spinners too.
For trout, flies are hard to beat and you can easily fish with flies on a spinning rod if you want to add an adjust-a-bubble type of float for weight while casting. Pick up one of those and some of the basic trout flies to add to your tackle box for a bit more options. Basic nymphs would be pheasant tail nymphs, prince nymph, or a gold ribbed hare's ear. For dries pick up a few adams, elk hair caddis, and stimulators.
Edit: if I could only choose one, it would be a black wooly bugger / leach type of fly
