Here, we’ve chosen to divide the lures into different weight groups, just as we’ve categorized rods into casting weight groups, to make it easier for you in this jungle.
Ultra-light includes the very lightest lures, often weighing just a few grams.
Light includes many of the lures used for perch fishing with smaller soft baits, small crankbaits, and spinners.
Light - Medium and Medium contain most common lures in the mid-weight class - spoons, crankbaits, spinners, and other lures intended for everything from sea trout to lighter pike fishing.
Heavy is a common measure for pike fishing.
Extra heavy and Super heavy include lures for, e.g., saltwater fishing and heavier pike fishing.

Here, we’ve categorized the products based on which fish you want to hook. We’ve relied on what manufacturers specify, but also on experience of what usually works. The list could almost be endless, and many things work for more species than we’ve listed, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
Sea Trout Fishing – An Exciting Challenge Along the Coast
Sea trout fishing is a thrilling and rewarding angling method that targets one of the most sought-after game fish in coastal waters. These strong and elusive fish require the right strategy, equipment, and timing to catch successfully.
Fishing for sea trout is typically done in shallow coastal areas, estuaries, and fjords where the fish hunt for baitfish. The best seasons are early spring and autumn when the water temperature is optimal, and the sea trout are actively feeding close to shore.
Techniques for Sea Trout Fishing
There are two main techniques for sea trout fishing: spin fishing and fly fishing. Spin fishing is the most common method, using lightweight rods and long-casting lures such as spoons, wobblers, or soft plastics that imitate small fish. Fly fishing is another highly effective approach, with streamers and shrimp imitations being popular choices.
Successful sea trout fishing requires patience and movement—constantly casting and covering new areas improves the chances of finding active fish. Fishing during overcast days with some wind can also increase the likelihood of bites, as sea trout are less wary in such conditions.
Essential Gear for Sea Trout Fishing
A spinning rod around 9-10 feet with a medium-light action for long and precise casts.
A reel in size 2500-3000, spooled with a thin braided line for sensitivity and long-distance casting.
Lures such as spoons, wobblers, and soft baits that mimic the sea trout’s natural prey.
A fluorocarbon leader to reduce visibility in clear water and prevent line breaks.
For fly fishing, a #6-7 weight rod with floating or intermediate fly lines is ideal.
Sea trout fishing is both challenging and rewarding, requiring skill, patience, and the right conditions. Whether you prefer spin fishing or fly fishing, the excitement of hooking a powerful sea trout in coastal waters makes this method a favorite among anglers.
