ya panther martins work best, if you look at a panther martin and arooster tail side by side the rooster tail has a clevis that attches to the shaft where the panther martin just puts the blade right on the shaft, this means it will take less resistance to spin the blade. which is def. an advantage fishin in PA seein how the holes can be slow moving and you don't wanna reel to fast. good luck!

Where do you trout fish at in PA? Carry a variety of sizes like 1/32, 1/16, 1/8 to 1/4 ounces. Cast upstream or upstream at a slight angle and retrieve at a steady speed with rodtip down. I fish at Spring Creek in Centre county and have great luck with a white rooster tail.

Try a silver and black spotted Rooster Tail. Try the reel and short pause method to trigger a bite.

My trout fishing in PA (coudersport/emporium area) has been limited to streams. My best luck on spinners has been with a variety of colors and sizes of panther martin. Casted upstream with a fast retrieve. I like a gold phoebe fished the same way as well. When all else fails I switch to a worm, and when nothing else is working they seem to do well.

i fish in new jersey for trout at a trout conservation area. these fish see a lot o flies and spinners and are very weary because they have been in the river for quite a long time thanks to good conservation. i have found that panther martins, like many other said are the best. size 2 and 4 are the best. use non holographic patterns and the classic trout pattern ones. get a variety of them because once a fish bites one spinner it will usually not bite it again but will go after another pattern. aslo i have noticed that sometimes they like a spinner with a tail and sometimes they like it bare. good luck.

Agreed with troutslayer and + 1 for you sir!!!
