Black and gold or yellow and silver panther martins have always done it for me. When I use spoons though it’s always gonna be a little Cleo over a kastmaster.
Panter Martin for me is the best lure for any fish. In my country you can catch everything with this lure: chub, perch, pike, balkan trout, rainbow trout...
I like that you can jig the castmaster and use it as a bottom bait as well as a moving bait. Always my go to if the Panthers don't work. You can cover more water with a castmaster too
@@ryan89870 what ever really, no like 2-3 oz balls, but like size 3 blue fox(?), smaller jerk baits, I just make sure to have 10-15 leader, gives me the chance to un-snag
PMs are my go to trout lure, knew it would do great for you. Never used a KM spoon though, I use a Little Cleo 2/5oz same color as the KM, blue and silver, it does well too. Both have their pros and cons, but both are very productive. Great job as always Jordan, keep em coming.
I casted a castmaster beside a log jam and let it hit the bottom. I pulled it a couple times it got stuck. I twitched it to get it unstuck and it did so I went to rip it in and caught the biggest trout I've ever caught. It was almost 9lbs in a small river system. Panther Martin used to be my favorite river retrieve
Panther Martin all day everyday. It is pi far in my opinion the single best lure to fish with especially in slow streams where there is not much current. You don't have to fish it as fast as a kastmaster would have to be fished.
Just found your videos and subscribed! Though I love the way you rigged your setup, I disagree with your splitshot placement. It will cause line twist. What I usually do is rig another short piece of line(6 inches) and add a swivel at each end then add your splitshot to this. This prevents line twist. Now, great videos and keep up the good work! You explain your methods very well! Cheers from Canada!
Bought the Kastmaster and the Panther Martin yesterday and fished them both. They were both a lot of fun to fish! Seemed about equal in the pond I was fishing. I catch WAY more with powerbait but I LOVE lure fishing. Didn't get anything with the rooster tails this time.
Really enjoyed this one guys I would have to say Panther Martin is quite a bit better in the waters I fish! Panther Martin, Pros: I would say a lot better for creeks easy to keep it up high up in the water column and out of snags and I feel like my hook up ratio is a little better too but could just be me. Cons: I feel like they could beef up the wire a little bit on the small ones at least it bends really easy, smaller versions also seem to have a hard time staying deep unless there is a split shot pegged ahead and I do not generally like to do that cause then it spins and tangles while casting, and of course compared to the Kastmaster lack of casting distance. Kastmaster, Pros: Of course you can bomb these also a bit easier to fish deeper water and still fish bottom, more versatile too you can jig it, reel it and do whatever you were doing in the video also. Cons: Really easy to snag in shallow water I also do not have a super great hook up ratio but that could also be because I fish a lot of super aggressive small brookies... So for me it would be Panther Martin but like you were saying it depends a lot upon conditions, depth of water, clarity of water, temp and multitude of other factors!!
I have always been a saltwater bait/ artificial lures, now slow pitch jigging. I was giving inline spinners as Christmas gifts. Your video showed me how to rig, retrieve, and catch. Now will go to a fresh stream and attempt for some trout & bass
I just started taking up fishing and your videos ROCK! I have been learning so much. Thanks for all you do. Out of curiosity, what type of boat do you have there?
powerbait typically works better for stocked trout. lures are great for most wild trout. this isn't to say that one can't catch the other, but just what your best chances probably are. worms will work great for anything! it's all about using what the trout's primary diet is. good luck!
In my opinion... I can't catch anything with the Kastmaster, and I jig it just like you did in the video. That exact Panther Martin is a killer. Just today, I crushed trout easily over 1 lbs, and my biggest was 2 lbs. Panther Martin all the way.
Do you leave the bail open to let the spinner drift downstream ? I’m new to fishing and was wondering about this. I see guys having their spinners drift downstream, do you need to leave the bail open to do this ? I would think so but I’m not sure. Thanks.
I was blown away the first time I threw a Kastie around 1/4oz or so. I was getting literally twice as far from the bank as my spinners. I will say I like the Vibrax for casting distance too though.
Any reason you don't use BlueFox lures - Vibrax? Also, would be nice if you did a video where you explained why you'd use different options - spinners/spoons, dough bait/power eggs, trout worms/mouse tails, worms, flys, etc. - in different situations on a lake.
Looks like the line is tied to the split ring on the kastmaster. I seem to remember a video where the recommendation was to tie line directly to the spoon on the kastmaster. I’ve heard people say even a snap swivel will work if a person was wanting to try different kastmaster lures in succession. I would think the snap swivel would have a funny presentation and not attract fish. I’ve used snap swivels with the panther martins and have landed plenty of fish. I’m sure the advice would be to try everything and what works best use that, but any thoughts,tips, or suggestions greatly appreciated.
Love the enthusiasm, I'm glad I was recommended your channel. I know lots about fishing but I learn something new every episode from you guys. Keep up the great work.
Martin for me. Cast masters are super fun and work on tons of species. Inshore saltwater (30” snook on the cast master) beach fishing, same lure catching trout in the mountains. I’ve just been more successful on the panther. Love it.
The yes master spoon good in salt water too!!If you doing the strait reeling tec, then let it drop once in a while ,then start reeling again.Dirty water darker color??
Ive been Kayak fishing a lot small Lakes in the Puget sound area of WA this spring. I have been killing it with the Holo Panther Martin Series, best fishing ive done on lakes. Jordan, I remember in past videos you were speaking more highly of Light 10lb braid with or without a bumper, now it sounds like you are talking more highly of heavier braid. Im currently on 10lb with a 8lb bumper. Which do you think I could get longer casts from using Small Spinners, since I have tons of room to cast? I really appreciate your videos, Im from Long island, NY, in the exact town Panther Martin has its headquartes, but I grew up surf fishing the Atlantic. I am very new to Trout fishing so I have been binging this content! Ill take anyones advice whos willing to give!
You can either use a small snap swivel to attach the lures to (not optimal but solves it), Or if you just let the line spin out by dangling the lure with a few feet of line out (unspin the twist until it stops spinning) once you’ve retrieved the lure... I find this helps greatly to keep twist out of the line before the next cast. (Especially in rivers where the current imparts extra spin & twist to the line & lure) Hope this helps, Fish On! 🤙🏼
If there's a lot of stock fish you can add power bait to the hook on your lure and your guaranteed to catch a fish. I recommend releasing stock trout though.
I've these competition videos. Panther martin for the win! I like kastmaster but never slayed with em. I have both of these lure you used today. Gonna bust out the panther martin more often
I had No doubt that the panther would win. It's my favorite spinner as well, and the fact that it's his fav also swings it in the Panthers favor as he is probably more used to it and more comfortable.
For just straight up head to head I always reach for the PM first. But if I have small pink plastic worms I'll put one on a Kastmaster and hook up pretty much every cast.
After getting skunked today this is what I needed!
You will get them next time!!
@@AddictedFishing Thank you! u bet I will!
@@AddictedFishing i in fact did not get them next time

Please make this happen
Let's make it happen
Yes!
yessss!!!!!!
I would love to see this too. Do it guys!!!
If Jordan is in the video it’s a guaranteed banger every time
The Panther Martin never let's you down. My favorite as well.
Same
Nah it let me down. But I can't catch with a damn.
I can’t catch anything with a panther martin
Kastmaster in metallic perch is my go to trout lure.
Black and gold or yellow and silver panther martins have always done it for me. When I use spoons though it’s always gonna be a little Cleo over a kastmaster.

8-10 lb braid line tangling bad is no joke. That's what I started with for my ultralight rod, but eventually bumped up to 20.
Agreed
I'm putting together a UL setup. What size/weight lures do you use on the 20lb line?

Absolutely!!! PM has caught me the most fish of all my hardware. Rooster Tail is a close second
There's much to be said about preferences in lures and confidence equalling success over the "which one is better" argument.

Hell ya dude! This is how I know you are a real addict, just as hyped on pond trout as you are on a big ol chromer on the river. Stay rockin bro
I like it when Little looks at Jordan after releasing a fish.
I’m a black panther martin kind a guy. It never fails. But the cast master finds the fish further down. I’m addicted
Mepps xd does both

I’m just getting into the lighter fishing so you’re explanation of how to fish the different lures is super useful!!!
Years ago Kmart used to sell an all silver and an all gold PM. Best trout lure I've ever used.
Panther Martin all the way! Caught more fish in my life on one than any other lure! Followed closely by Super Duper’s and Phoebe spoons! Good times!
When fishing with spoons, do I need to add any weight or split shot to line?
Addicted fishing bad ass , love the vids happy to support the brand and what you guys do
What size of panther martin and kastmaster spoon. I'm currently using Rooster Tails and nailing them, but I want to add to my tackle box.
Looks like a 1/4 oz panther
@@ZeldaWCKO figured that out. Just was still kind of new to fishing (still am) but I do enough know to be close to the weight based off size.

I discovered PMs years ago when I first started fishing. It was the lure that always did best. Also like kastmasters and Wob L Rites.
Every time I watch these videos I learn something new and it helps me catch more fish! Thanks so much for posting these videos!
What size is that PM?
which one os better will depend on the conditons. one is not better than the other.
I have always been a saltwater bait/ artificial lures, now slow pitch jigging. I was giving inline spinners as Christmas gifts. Your video showed me how to rig, retrieve, and catch. Now will go to a fresh stream and attempt for some trout & bass
They both have their time and place ,great video
Yep. No other way to put it
Always putts me in a good mood when I see that they upload can’t wait to see the springer videos start to pop up. Great vid 🔥
Also 1st lure is the test version to find where fish are holding .
@Addicted Fishing What is the size lures are you using for you KastMaster spoons
i've got a light action kokanee rod but seated for a baitcast reel. Can i go trouting just fine with such a set up?
Do you guys ever tip lures with nightcrawlers?
New to fishing here. If I was going for salmon would I do the same presentation of the 2 you mentioned with the kastmaster?
I just started taking up fishing and your videos ROCK! I have been learning so much. Thanks for all you do.
Out of curiosity, what type of boat do you have there?
Can the panther martin black and gold spinner work to catch trout in muddy lakes
Excellent trout tips and videos Jordan. Caught a 20” rainbow beauty while camping the Smokies last weekend.
Lures are fun to me. But never caught anything on it. Worms and power bait have gotten me trout. But still new at this whole thing
powerbait typically works better for stocked trout. lures are great for most wild trout. this isn't to say that one can't catch the other, but just what your best chances probably are. worms will work great for anything! it's all about using what the trout's primary diet is. good luck!
Catching bows with the NastyKasty
Used to live on that lake and the kastmasters has always produced more for me. My PB bass and trout have came from there
Kastmaster master race.. checking in...lol
How long should the leader be on a cast master and spoon
saw y’all’s new braid at my local fisherman’s i’m glad they put your stuff and stores your guys stuff is always great quality
A while back you guys went to the great lakes for winter steelhead. Was there a video release on that? Or did I miss it?
We’re still working on editing it.
Is the blue fox a good replacement for panther Martin if I can’t find any?
In my opinion... I can't catch anything with the Kastmaster, and I jig it just like you did in the video.
That exact Panther Martin is a killer. Just today, I crushed trout easily over 1 lbs, and my biggest was 2 lbs.
Panther Martin all the way.
Have you guys seen the new DualFlash double bladed panther Martin's? Just ordered a bunch and a few of their WillowStrikes
Hi Jordan. When using the Panther Martin ... How do you deal with or minimize ''line twist?''
Did you see the river otters back there? Something has cleanly bit me off multiple times there.
Do you leave the bail open to let the spinner drift downstream ? I’m new to fishing and was wondering about this. I see guys having their spinners drift downstream, do you need to leave the bail open to do this ? I would think so but I’m not sure. Thanks.
Did you add any weight to it at all? Or just straight up the weight from the lure itself?
My favorite Panther martin color was the chartreuse blade with the black body. Not sure they are made anymore. They were killer.
What size lures did you use in this video?
Did you mention what size you’re using? Huge range available in both.
Size 9
My go to with the Castmaster is perch pattern. Green body/ black spots/ silver blade for the Panther Martin.
Good explanation of the differences between the two and how and when to use. Thanks.
Both great from the boat. Kastmaster from shore to reach a little further out.
I was blown away the first time I threw a Kastie around 1/4oz or so. I was getting literally twice as far from the bank as my spinners. I will say I like the Vibrax for casting distance too though.

Do panther martins come in one color only or multiple, or are there just few that are effective
We just put out a small top 5 (×2) of our favorite trout lures. Panther Martin were 1 and 2 respectively for us as well !

What rod are you using in this video?
Panther Martin is my favorite small stream trout lure. Usually summer time. For lakes a good ole Maribou jig under a bobber kills it for me
Sharked the PM.really like these versus videos and can't wait for the challenge one coming
Couldn't skip that advert fast enough to see this!
SAME
What size PM works for y’all? I have been switching in between the 1/4 and 1/8 oz and cannot decide what I think works better?
Is there tricks to getting that spring effect outta a freshly spooled real or is the a best way to spool you reel
The yes master spoon good in salt water too!!If you doing the strait reeling tec, then let it drop once in a while ,then start reeling again.Dirty water darker color??
Panther Martin hands down one of the best lures ive ever used. Green and gold thunder bug in the 90s was good to.
My favorite lure as well.
What is the oz size of fishing lures
can you use 15 pound braid on my shimano sienna 500 ultralight that is meant for 4 pound mono?
Used both a panther Martin and a kastmaster today. Only brought home one trout and it was on the kastmaster

Nice!!
What sizes are you using? I may have missed it. Love the videos!
Looks like a 1/4 oz panther
I do love the the cast master, but I definitely throw a spinner far more often
That first catch with the Panther Martin wasn't a steelhead was it? Still learning my trout a little.
I just ordered 4 of the black and yellow with the gold blade lures in a 1/8th oz. Never used these before , so looking forward to the experience!!
My grandma owned a house in that cove. This is literally where I learned to fish and caught my first fish 25 years ago.
Wild
Nice man
Nice fish!! That one with the kype looked so cool. I have never used any of those but would like to try
Oh shoot I may have seen you out there. I like to fish behind the islands were the creek flows in also, catch a lot of brooders back there
I feel like the spinners just tend to catch size a little better than spoons day in day out, where as the spoons are a little more versatile
I love the silver blade with yellow and red body. That panther Martin is killer here in Colorado
I love panther martin. One of 2 favorite in line spinner along with mepps obviously. Favorite panther is the gold, red, and copper tone version.
Fire tiger colors are a must for trout in my opinion.
