ACTION TECHNIQUES FOR ALL ANGLERS
For pro anglers looking for top tier and versatile presentations that trout have never seen to the parents attempting to keep their kids more engaged and interested in their fishing adventures, Berkley's trout dough is the perfect proven solution.
With trout dough at the ready, the action techniques at your disposal are endless and entirely up to your imagination. No matter the situation you find yourself in, you have the ability to match the hatch.
BENEFITS OF SHAPING YOUR DOUGH
Shaping your Trout Dough into different formations enhances its action and appeal by controlling how it moves, floats, or spins in the water. A flattened disc may flutter, a teardrop can create a natural wobble, and an elongated shape works better in fast-moving currents.
Rounder shapes hold in slower pools, while asymmetrical designs can trigger reaction bites. Adjusting your bait’s shape to match the hatch or based on water conditions increases your chance of landing more fish.
How to mold the dough
1. Dough Starter
Start with enough dough to make a small ball (approximately 1/2" around).
2. Smashing Dough
Using your thumb, flatten the dough ball against your palm.
3. Set The Hook
Using the same thumb technique, press in a small #6 or #8 rigged hook.
4. Pinch
Pinch the dough at the top of the hook so it folds together.
5. Roll
Roll the pinched portion to a point in the palm of your hand.
6. Spoon
Flatten the end again (where the hook is) to form a boot or spoon shape.
7. Get Fishin'
You're all set - toss it in and watch that action!
