Trout season is officially here, and anglers across Australia are hitting the rivers, lakes, and streams in search of brown and rainbow trout. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or sneaking in a quick session after work, the right gear can make all the difference between a story-worthy catch and “the one that got away.”
At Compleat Angler, we’ve stocked up with the top trout lures, rods, reels, and nets and right now, many of your favourites are on sale. Here’s what you’ll want to pack in your tackle bag this season.
🎣 Must-Have Trout Lures
Trout can be picky, so variety is key. Luckily, we’ve got a wide range of proven performers ready to tempt them:
- Yakamito Slim Minnows (70D range) – From Glass Trou to Fairy Flos and White Ligh, these slim-profile hardbaits are built for clear-water strikes.
- Yakamito Metal Spoons (10g range) – Classic trout magnets in colours like RT, BD, Pinky and C-DOG. Perfect for rivers and lakes.
- Tasmanian Devil Spoons (9g, 12.5g, 25g) – The iconic Aussie trout lure. Choose from Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout UV, Pink Panther, Fire Tiger and more.
- Stump Jumper 3.5 Lures – Compact, hardy, and available in standout colours like Blood Moon and Blue Fire.
👉 Hot tip: Pack a mix of natural trout patterns and UV-coloured lures to cover both bright and overcast conditions.
🐟 Rods & Reels for Every Angler
Whether you prefer ultra-light finesse or a little more backbone, we’ve got a trout setup to match your style.
- Rods – Check out the Daiwa Regal series, NS Jetsetter range, and Shimano Raider spin rods for smooth casting and sensitivity.
- Reels – Pair your rod with the lightweight Vanford 500FA or 2500HGFA, or go for value-packed favourites like the 20 TA MS LT or Pio Cyclone Plus 1000.
These combos are built for long days by the water—durable, reliable, and ready for action.
🦑 Nets & Storage Essentials
