Why Choose Game (Trout) Fishing Gear?

Game fishing, especially for trout, demands precision, balance and quality tackle. Whether you fish on rivers, lakes or stocked waters in Ireland, the right rod, reel and lure can make the difference between success and frustration.

At Emerald Ripple, we offer rods designed for casting light lures with accuracy, reels with smooth drags for delicate fights, and premium lures that imitate natural prey. Our game tackle is carefully tested in Irish waters, ensuring performance you can trust.

Best Trout Fishing Rods and Reels

When targeting trout, many anglers prefer lightweight rods between 1.8 m (5'11") and 2.4 m (7'10") with fast or moderate action. Paired with a small reel, this setup allows long casts with light spoons, spinners or flies.

Key Features to Look For

Rod sensitivity – for detecting subtle bites.
Lightweight reels – smooth drag and reliable build.
Balance – a matched combo reduces fatigue during long sessions.

Trout Lures and Baits

Successful trout fishing often depends on lure choice. Our collection includes:

Spoons and spinners – classic lures for both rivers and lakes.
Soft plastics – ideal for stocked trout and active fish.
Crankbaits & minnows – perfect for imitating small prey fish.

Fishing Tips for Trout in Ireland

Cast upstream in rivers to let the lure drift naturally.
Use ultralight tackle for crystal-clear lakes.
Match lure size and colour to seasonal feeding patterns.

FAQ

Which lures work best for Irish trout?
Small spoons, spinners, and natural-coloured minnows are the most effective.

Can I use trout gear for salmon?
