I read about guys using lures for specks. I remember it was a old lure like a Heddon? What are a few good ones to use & time of year to use ?

the Heddon Zara Spook... good lure, it's a walk the dog topwater style lure. they have their time and place... early morning, during the month of April is when i find myself using them. they work for big specks for sure.

also a great lure is a Mirrolure Mirrodine. it's a suspending twichbait that works really well aslo. I know of a 8lb+ trout that ate one this spring. if i had to pick a 'go-to' artificial for trout, this would definitely be it.

My go to lure is also the Mirrodine. The one with the green back and also the blue.

I second both mentioned above. I only use artificials for the most part. Some plastics work great as well (ie DOA Shrimp, Flukes, Paddle tails, Gulp).

Agreed mirrodine go to trout bait and slayer paddle tails or zman paddlerz.
