Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Finicky Trout Finesse System?

It is a smaller-profile trout kit for pressured fish, bright sun, and post-front conditions. It gives you a low-profile spread with a Junior Trigger Spoon, subtle flies, a Trix Worm, rigging, and Trigger Scent UV Gel by Cal Kellogg to coax followers into biting.

What comes in the kit?

You get a Plain Shad Junior Trigger Spoon, an Olive/White/Red Trigger Fly, a 2-pack of Black Trigger Buggers, a Trix Rigging Kit, Trigger Scent UV Gel by Cal Kellogg, and a Baitfish 5-pack of Trix Worms. Colors and options may vary by kit.

When should I fish this finesse kit?

Use it on finicky, pressured trout, in clear water, under bright sun, after a cold front, and when fish follow without committing. The scaled-down profiles and natural colors give short-striking trout a smaller, more believable target than a full-size flashy spread.

How do I fish the Junior Trigger Spoon in this kit?

The Junior Trigger Spoon is a compact spoon you run clean, not behind a dodger. Cast and retrieve it or troll it on its own at a faster clip so it flutters and rolls. The tight flash of a small spoon draws finicky trout without overpowering them.

How do I fish the flies and soft baits?

Rig the Trix Worm and trolling flies with the included Trix Rigging Kit and add Trigger Scent UV Gel by Cal Kellogg. Fish these on a slow, subtle troll. The natural profiles and scent give pressured trout a quiet, low-key presentation they will commit to.

What should I add to this kit?

Carry a spare Junior Trigger Spoon 1.25 inch Trout and Salmon so you always have a backup finesse option. A second spoon lets you run one color while resting another, or replace one lost to a snag without cutting your finesse spread short on the water.
