Coral Trout Lures

Targeting Coral Trout requires gear that can handle the "First Five Seconds" of a brutal reef fight. Found across the Great Barrier Reef and Ningaloo, Coral Trout are ambush predators that strike hard and head straight for the coral.

Coral Trout Lure FAQs

Red, Pink, and Orange patterns are iconic for Trout. Lures like the Ultimate Squid in "Pink UV" mimic the natural prey found on the reef. Interestingly, bright "Chartreuse" can also be a standout when fishing deeper bommies where light penetration is lower.
