I'm using these rigs but I can't get any bites from trout even though I'm fishing where they live I have saw them.

Those worm hooks are gigantic.
I’m going to close this post and scroll down now okay?
Those hook sizes are for using trout as bait
Hook too big. You’re throwing bass hooks, trout mouths are smaller. The biggest hook I’ve ever used is a #6 egg hook
Smaller is better for trout, do research and you will get it, wrong hooks for both plastics
Those are some huge hooks. Get a size 8 mosquito and put power bait/mice tail on it. Or try a 1/8oz kastmaster
Try a Berkeley power worm bubblegum pink color on a trout magnet jig head, I swear it’s a skunk buster and it’s the perfect trout lure for beginners
Should I just snag them instead of they won’t bite I have tungsten putty
That Blue Fox should be good
Trout are very fussy about line and lures looking right. I even fish for big trout with 6 lb fluoro line, etc. They are also fussy about sinkers and bobbers if they can feel it.
Your worm hook is much too big for that plastic. If you are rigging it that way, get a mosquito hook with barely a gap. But i’m thinking that needs a 1/32 or smaller jig head, though.
Keep throwing the spinner, but they will only bite when they’re in the mood on that.
I would get some power bait or worms and small hooks.
an inline spinner is a good trout lure, but those other hooks are for bass
you need a #6 or a #8 hook for trout
get some of the 1/64-oz jighead hooks like the trout magnet, that is the size you need for trout
Too much hook.
The hooks are the wrong type first off and you have the soft plastics rigged up all weird. Try a tiny jig head with a tiny little plastic grub and maybe you’ll catch a trout. Trout spinner should be good but I would go with an even smaller panther martin or rooster tail. You could also try a tiny kastmaster spoon. Or just chill out and with some powerbait on a little treble hook might be easier.
Another victim of temu sports fishing introduction book.
Your hook way too big
Nice engagement bait
Go smaller
Hook size too big and plastics rigged wrong
Not trying to be rude, but google trout fishing, YT trout fishing. As others have said, all hooks in that pic are too big and the plastics are rigged weird. You may find it helpful to get comfortable with more than just proper hook size.
Just like the ladies will tell ya, its not what you use its how you use it!
You got answers I want to point out Trout are line shy, use thinner lines. #4 or less .
Use crappie jig heads bro
Ive head alot of luck with variations of this type, also very small spinners, smaller than what you have I think

Get trout magnets, or at the very least put a trout magnet and appropriate jig head in your hand and compare the size of those to what you’re using
Downsize your hooks big time, and downsize your inline spinner too, size 4-6 Panther Martin works really well for me
Those are hard ones, if you’re down to eat the fish use powerbait and you’ll get more fish on the line… just with gut hooks
I like #8 mosquito for mice tails and halved crawlers. #12 gamakatsu single egg red is my new go-to for salmon eggs and power bait.
Small hooks, 2 lb – 4 lb test with light drag on a long ultralight with a rod holder + bell. Limited interaction with the line but constant attention to bites. 12 in – 18 in leader. Egg sinker for casting distance and fighting rocks/logs on the retrieve. Press on sinkers for up close action in moving water.
It’s a great beginner setup but it’s also
what I found works best for going back and forth from lakes with established populations and pocket fishing streams with trapped stockies.
If you’re hiking in/wading, and targeting by species, whole different setup.
I mostly catch and eat but I have found this setup has given me the best results on releases with trout of all sizes.
Cause ur throwing ewg hooks my guy. Get like a wacky sized hook and use that.
Get a some panther Martin spinners.
With that hook are you aiming at 30lb trout? Even that that would be big, that’s a bass hook, they have a huge vacuum mouth.
You need a tiny hook, like something the size of the fingernail on your thumb at most, usually you are using smaller hooks (size of the fingernail of your pinky for reference). Also try live worms and crickets
Hooks are huge.
My typical trout setup I e been using for the last 28 years is a drop shot on the bottom, and a hook about 10 inches up from that with 8 inches of line and another about to inches up.
I put salmon eggs on one and power bait on the other.
Been using this setup since I was 4 years old
Huge hooks and strange bait choices in my experience. Small shiny stuff and worms are the go to for me
Because you aint living right
he Hook Too Big For He Gotdamn Fish
Use a #6 or #8 hook for starters
For spinners I’d use sizes 0,1 or 2.
3 or 4 if you’re fishing a lake with bigger trouts in it.
Otherwise use small spoons or light (or ultralight) jerkbaits.
I personally never had any luck with soft baits for trout, but I know people catches trouts on those as well.
Trouts have small mouths compared to other fish, so use small hooks and small lures when possible.
Have fun!
Where are you trying to fish for trout?
You may wanna go down a size or two on the hooks. Those are for Marlin.
