hey guys,
just looking for some suggestions for some trout hardbody's. i would prefer if they dont cost much, say under 15 dollars. maybe 20 dollars.

Is it for rivers or lakes? Strike Pro have a big range of hardbodies that are under $20

small lakes, like shepp lake and the Euroa arboretum.

Heaps of options. Do a quick google search and it's endless.
I don't even know where to start.

As above theres tons of options for trout but if you're trying to be budget conscious small paddle tail plastics are a great and versatile option. For stocked trout 2-2.5" is a good size, I usually use 2.5s and cut a bit off the head. Something like a zmam slim swim or berkley ttail. Match them up with a size 1 1/12oz jighead and you're off. Its worth having 1/16 and 1/8 as well depending on the exact scenario

One can never have enough trout lures.. Here's a mix of what I carry in my fishing vest when trout fishing,,

Mepps is always my first lure to put on for rivers and creeks.

They're certainly one of the best around for rivers, streams & creeks Sebb, 98% of the trout I catch each season are on the Mepps inline spinners..

cheers

Your best bet is to get some spinners as it would suit your newly purchased rod and reel with mono line a lot better than hard bodies or soft plastics.

If you want to buy hards then the tsunami super trout won't break the bank and available at anaconda or big w

Rapalas and Tassie Devils are great for impoundments.
