Re: trout lures and plastics....
2 top favourite hard bodies are; pink & blue tassie devils trolled at 5 - 5.5 kph just on a flat line at this time of the year or the Rapala CD5 or CD 7 in rainbow trout pattern but trolled slower.
Haven't tried trolling a lot of soft plastics for trout, but a worm style and preferably rigged with a stinger hook has worked for me recently.

Well past the edge, almost at the point of no return.

Tassie Devils - (chuck away the wire and run leader through a red bead to a single lure hook) - Pink on overcast days, Holographic, natural colours when the sun's out. Anything with spots.
Metals/spoons - The good old silver or gold Wonder Wobbler, Crocodiles etc. (You can lose a lot of fish with these as they are easy to shake free).
Spinners - Green/black or red/black Celtas, Pink Vibrax
Hardbodies - A lot of natural looking minnow styles will get a bite. Last one I caught at Trout closing took a Realis Minnow 80SP. Rebel Frog and Rebel Crawdad. Brown Trout pattern with spots.
Vibes - Black/Gold TTs
Plastics - Gulp 3" smelt/natural minnows, Lunker City Glitter minnows, yabbie imitations.
Hope that helps!
Cheers
Tim

Re: trout lures and plastics....
Ditto what the others have been saying. Rapala's have been doing the damage for minnow patterns lately for me fished super slow. For plastics I love a black and gold glitter paddle tail and also taken a couple of late on lil thumper's from Mav's range which isn't to shabby considering they don't get much time.

I agree those tsunami trout lures in both rainbow and brown trout colour work very well for a cheap lure
and I'm also not a trout fisho but have had sucess with halco scorpion 35s in brown trout colour - I've also picked up one in rainbow trout colour
my guess these will work ok as well

Re: trout lures and plastics....
Just to add to an older thread - the little bassday sugar deep 35F has been going great for me lately as a trout lolly in the creeks and small rivers. Been using the colour C66 (transparent with a light goldy/yellow on head) but looking to try a few other colours. The C66 is a nice natural looking colour, that shows up surprising well in slightly discoloured water.
