This speed is more suited for targeting Rainbow than brown trout in my experience.Ī slower retrieve has a more erratic side to side wobble which generally works better for trout.įishing with a very slow retrieve will have the Kastmaster rubbing across the bottom. This action somewhat resembles a fleeing baitfish. I have never had much luck skating them across the surface.Ī moderate fast retrieve results in a tight wobble and the lure trends to lift towards the surface. This is certainly too fast to interest trout but some more predatory fish could be keen. If you wind in superfast, the kastmaster darts across the surface. The kastmaster design is very forgiving and can be retrieved as fast or as slowly as desired. I suggest reeling them in at varying speeds to see what the fish prefer. In my experience, most trout anglers fish their kastmasters too fast. This gives the lure a more pronounce action which is better at triggering a predatory response from interested fish 4) Vary retrieval speed. 3) Jerk the rod tip.ĭuring the retrieve, giving the rod tip slight jerks, causes the lure to dart quickly through the water. So I often cast out, and wait until I think the lure is close or on the bottom before a start my retrieve. But, we all know that fish often like to swim closer to the bottom. This works well, if the fish are feeding near the surface, or are prepared to raise to give chase.
I know many anglers, cast out and start retrieving almost immediately. If I see a trout, or other fish following my kastking, a pause can easily trigger a strike. This is long enough to cause the kastking to flutter. Every so often during my retreive, I pause for 2 or 3 seconds. This causes the lure to stop, and start fluttering towards the bottom. Maybe the most succesful action you can input into a Kastmaster is a short pause. Below I will explain some techniques to get the most out of your lure. One of the best ways to fish a kastmaster is to cast it from the shore, and reel it in.

I will cover the basics below How to fish a kastmaster? This is why, I use my rod, and reeling speed to impact additional action into the retrieve. It is not always enough to convince them to strike. While the action, combine with the shininess is enough to attract the attention of predatory fish. But to get the most out of a kastmaster they do require quite a bit of work.ĭuring the retrieve, the kastmaster wobbles gently through the water. I like to say they are simple lures to fish, and I know many anglers who just cast and retrieve at a steady pace. Let the lure sink to the desire weight then reel it in. I cast to near, or just belong where I suspect the fish will be holding. Advertisementsįundamentally Kastmasters are among the easiest lures to fish, they cast like a bullet and sink at a consistent weight. You can jig them, cast them and catch most predatory fish on them. They can be fish fast, slow, close to the surface or along the bottom. I consider the Kastmaster to be one of the most versatile lures around. If I have to describe a kastmaster, it would be as a simple metal lure which casts a mile. I have caught hundreds of fish and spent nearly as many hours fishing them. I learnt to spin fish using kastmaster, or at least a very similar lure.
