In this episode we see a Spinner vs Powerbait trout fishing challenge because I want to see which one catches more fish. I get a bunch of comments insisting that a spinner would have worked better than powerbait every time I make a trout fishing video. I put it to the test in this episode and the results speak for themselves. I caught no trout at all on the spinner. After a half hour and almost 30 casts, I give up and try the powerbait instead and I’m hooked up with a rainbow trout within minutes.
The rising river water cut my experiment short so I’ll have to continue testing in the future. Check it out in the video below.
