Crankbaits for trout?

[trigger7mm]

What are some of the better crankbaits to use for trout? If you could only use one, hat would it be. Thanks for the responses. Have a great weekend everyone.

I mostly fly fish for trout now but in the past we had great luck with the Rapala r5-gold or brown trout pattern.

Rapala f7 in rainbow brook or brown trout depending on what hatch is going on.

Pretty much any long long jerkbait, I feel like the ones with better finishes outperform cheaper ones. Look for natural or trout colors.

I fish Rapalla floating originals pretty regularly, I think either the smallest or second smallest size, I've had the best luck with the silver and black or gold and black colors. I have some xraps and a few Storm cranks, but about the only one I feel is really essential for trout are the floating originals.

I don't know if a flatfish qualifies as a crank bait, but they are hands down the most effective plug I've ever used for trout.

I have had good success with Flatfish on brookies, small green ones

I’ve caught a bunch of rainbows on flatfish as well.

2X the flatfish/ quickfish lures for trout- small to medium size in a variety of colors.
