I've recently bought a minnow lure and plan on buying a few others for trout but need a little help choosing which ones that would work well

what works well is very dependant on where and what type your trying to get. I have only had good luck catching browns with crank baits, and only in rivers. I like the pins minows in the shallow brooks because they run very shallow, and the thin minnow rapala's in deeper waters...

I've had decent luck with the Thomas' Buoyant Spoons in Western Mass for trout in lakes/ponds where the water is somewhat deeper(aka not a river). Hope it helps

I have had GREAT luck with gold, silver, and Metallic Perch.

Phoebe is a "must have" for any trout guy.
