Kitsap Lake Fishing Report | August 11, 2025

The Trix Minnow is a lifelike soft bait designed to match the exact profile and swimming action of the baitfish that rainbow trout and landlocked salmon key in on during their prime feeding windows throughout the season. Its slender body and subtly cupped paddle tail produce a natural, fluid motion at trolling speeds that stiffer, bulkier baits are mechanically incapable of replicating. That difference in action is what drives strikes when fish are being selective. Fish it behind a dodger on a drop-back leader, rig it on a Trix Rigging Kit for a head-forward presentation, or run it solo with a scent application for a streamlined finesse rig. Available in 12 proven color patterns.

The Trix Minnows 25-Pack is the bulk supply of Catch America's most productive soft bait, enough to cover a full season of serious trout trolling without running out at the wrong moment. Each minnow's slender body and paddle tail create a natural, fluid swimming motion at trolling speeds that stiffer baits simply can't replicate, and the profile exactly matches the baitfish rainbow trout and landlocked salmon key in on during prime feeding windows. The assortment spans the core colors proven across California and Western trout fisheries, so you can rotate through patterns until you dial in what the fish want on any given day.

The Trix Worms 25-Pack gives you a full season's supply of the slender, fluid soft bait that produces rainbow trout, brown trout, and landlocked salmon in conditions where nearly every other bait in the spread gets ignored. Each worm's ultra-thin body undulates with a lifelike movement at trolling speeds that perfectly mimics a wounded baitfish. It's that specific action that triggers reaction strikes from fish that have already passed on everything else. The 25-pack spans five proven color patterns so you can rotate through options across varying light conditions, water clarity, and forage patterns throughout the season. One of the highest-converting trout trolling baits in the Catch America lineup.

The T-Pex (also searched as TPex or T Pex) is a purpose-built inline trolling lure engineered specifically for the slow-troll speeds that kokanee and rainbow trout demand, the 1.0 to 1.8 mph range where standard spoons lose their action or spin out entirely. Its compact body produces a distinctive wobble-and-flash combination that kokanee find irresistible behind a Moon Jelly, Magnum, or 6-inch dodger, and it runs equally well solo on a double-hook leader for a cleaner, lighter presentation. The premium finish options cover the proven attractor and natural color patterns that produce across California and Western kokanee fisheries from early season through the fall run. With over 3,200 units sold last season, the T-Pex is the single best-selling lure in the Catch America lineup, because it flat-out catches fish.

The Pinhead Spoon is engineered for finesse trolling presentations that match the slender baitfish profile kokanee and rainbow trout target when feeding on pond smelt and shad. Its ultra-slim body produces a tight wobble that stays true across a wide range of trolling speeds without rolling or spinning out, making it ideal for pressured fish that have seen heavier hardware. Works equally well trolled solo or behind a dodger or flasher, giving you versatility across different rod setups and spread configurations. Available in a full range of proven kokanee and trout colors.
