I almost have the 'magic' lure, and have a stable of six originals and standards that can be brought up to production design level in a short time. I need a 3D printer to get to the final prototyping and the next stage of market testing. As for the final stage of production, I will be skipping the gradual build up and going straight to plastic injection having located a local injection operation so that I don't need to go to China. A manufacturing and production team can be set up quickly, so I can move quickly once the decision is made. BUT, it will take my life savings unless I find an angel investor. I am not ready to risk my life savings at this time, but will go to final prototype if I can find a printer. I will probably go to visit family in SC for a few months to do the market testing. Dave

Trout are just as stupid as the other species you are used to but they are just a different kind of stupid I grew up doing a lot of trout fishing in western Canada and they will take a variety of lures. I actually raised rainbows in aquaculture for 10years as well. When I guided some days were targeting cut throat, rainbows, and bull trout as well yes a worm rigged on a slow death hook works and so do worm harnesses. Depending on the trout species, their feed base, wild or stocked and average size you have different options Welcome to the forum
