The lure is a slow sink, walk the dog, soft plastic. It is not a topwater. It works under the surface and this is easier for a fish to eat anyway. There is no wrong way to fish it.. walk it, fish it like a worm, or slow reel it.
Trout Support Lure 5 Pack
7 years in development. I scrapped the design twice and started over fresh when it wasn’t doing what I thought it should for you.
Going through nearly a 1000 modifications and adjustments all to make a lure that was new with great action, long casting, and slow sinking and one that solves the problems we have fishing shallow environments with seagrass, marshgrass, oyster, rocks, mangroves, and even docks.
It out-casts and out-fishes the competition in tough conditions where you need it to perform, where others won’t, whether that is floating seagrass and high wind, fishing tight to big rocks, or skipping it into tight, heavy cover.
I say it’s part 4×4, part B-1 Bomber, part Ranger, and part Seal Team all packed into one lure!

Just like many of us had to learn new fishing methods when Paul Brown lures came onto the scene, getting the best hook up ratio with weedless rigged baits also takes learning something new. If we treat them like treble hooked lures, or exposed hooks like jigheads that won't work for a weedless rig very well. They are different and require different hook setting methods to achieve best results. There are some lures in this category that even with the below recommendations will not achieve decent hook up ratios, but the below will certainly help all weedless rig hook up effectiveness.
In fishing for inshore species, we tend to use light to medium action rods with little backbone. That does not help hook up ratio with weedless rigged lures of any brand. But I think some compensations in other areas can make up for the rod; there's no need to buy another rod.
First, I think it is important to note what happens in a fishes mouth when they eat a lure that is rigged weedless. Just like a live baitfish they can quickly move this bait to the back of their mouths where they have pads of teeth referred to as crushers. These teeth are used for holding prey and moving it in the gullet. They can hold tight enough that weak hook sets will not move the bait enough to move it to the lip or jaw region. The hook set has to deliver enough energy to move the bait out of the pads of teeth in the back of the mouth.
Secondly, use braided line because it has little to no stretch. Monofilament has way too much stretch to get a good hook set here. A monofilament main line, in this instance, would take all the energy in the hook set and just abosrb it; We have to MOVE the bait. I do recommend using a Fluoro or Mono leader tied to the main line via your choice of line to leader knot.
Tighten your drag down to where only the largest trout or red could pull line off the reel. This is done to reduce slippage so we can move the bait in the fishes mouth upon hookset. If drag is loose, the line slips on the hookset and doesn't move the bait to the lips. The drag should be able to be pulled out but only for a big red or trout.. I can barely pull mine out by hand (take care not to cut your hand with small braid diameters).
Upon getting a strike from a predator, stealthily, without the fish noticing, point the rod toward the fish and take up line without putting pressure on the fish. Just a couple cranks of the reel; this doesn't have to be perfect, the intent is to prepare for the hook set by starting with the rod lower and with less line 'out'.
Now set the hook hard like you would a bass. Cross them eyeballs. Since we are using kahle style Extra Wide Gap hooks like the afforementioned brands and models we can rely on the hook setting mostly into the jaw and lips, through bone and cartilage. J hooks like jigheads tend to set in the thin skin like a top of mouth.. the hooks we recommend lend toward setting in firm hook holding areas. So set the hook hard starting with rod pointing to the fish make a quick hard hook setting upward move of the rod.
If you find the fish are dropping the bait when reeling the line to take out slack, then you are putting too much pressure trying to reel too fast or taking up line faster than moving the rod toward the fish... be stealthy; it's a quick precise action. Point rod at fish, reel 2 cranks, then set the hook hard.
Immediately after setting the hook, reduce your drag a couple of turns and then adjust as needed to finish out the fight of the fish. You still need to allow the drag to work on upper slot reds and trout over 25 inches. They can bust tackle and line.. I've not had any problems by doing this immediately after the hookset.
Finally, after releasing your fish, straighten the bait and retighten your drag prior to the next cast.
A note about strikes. All sizes of fish like to bite on this lure; From pin and piggy perch (aka turd tappers), needle gar, all the way to oversized reds and trophy trout. Many of the bites that you feel and do not connect on are actually just the little stuff pecking at it. Needle gar will bite the bait and swim with it and leave teeth marks. Perch will nibble the shit out of it.. undersized trout and sand trout do have trouble getting it in their mouths, but honestly, who wants to catch a dink anyway? And every time a keeper trout, red, or flounder eats it they will be there when you set the hook with power. Yeah sometimes even I use a puss hookset when I'm not ready and that results in a poor hook up even with jig heads and trebble hooked lures. Set the Hook!

Our Happy Customers
“ 4th cast and I was “on” with an overslot redfish in 6″ of water over 12″ of solid turtle grass after a blind cast. 10th cast and on again with another redfish in late December in north Florida. I’ve never seen a walk / twitch / jerk bait act like this. I’m a solid 90% topwater redfish hunter for the excitement of seeing the explosion or torpedoes. However redfish are not designed for top feeding. Tobin developed the best lure for redfish in our area and the lure proved itself side by side against my best beat up topwaters throughout the afternoon. Total of 6 redfish for the day with more strikes on the TSL than my other lures combined. Thank you Tobin for this great lure. ”
“ Can’t say enough about these lures; solid fish after solid fish! ”
“ I went out Monday morning, 9 speckled trout, 1 -24.5in, the other 8 were 26in - 29.5in, 3 upper slot redfish, and I also had my line broken by an over 30inch speckled trout. Biggest speckled trout I’ve ever had on. Epic Day on the TSL. ”
“ I LOVE these things! A cross between a corky and a bass assassin; people are going to be talking about this one for a long time ”
“ I caught this speckled trout on the pink hologram TSL on the first cast after thinking the bite died. Tied on the TSL and BOOM! big speckled trout! ”
“ Great lure and design. Caught 5 bass over 5 lbs on the bone diamond… I have confidence in it now. ”
“ … I even went so far as to tell Tobin his lure was no good, sorry Tobin. Come to find out, it was the Indian not the arrow. I had been fishing it on heavy jig heads like every other soft plastic I use, but Tobin told me it wasn't made for jig heads, but of course I didn't listen. I finally went today and picked up some of the 5/0 swim bait hooks he told me to get and left right after work to try it out. I got to my spot right at dark. On the first cast I could tell the lure was working better with the swim bait hook. By keeping the rod tip down with a simple twitch twitch pause retrieve I was able to make it walk the dog right under the surface. On the second cast, after the first twitch, it disappeared in a big splash of white water. I thought it was a big redfish the way it was fighting, but when I drug it up on the bank it was a big spotted sea trout. Now that I know what to do with it, I'm sure I'll be fishing the TSL more often. Sorry about the blurred pic, but there are some things I prefer to keep secret. ”
“ Awesome bait! Great action, tuff, buoyant, and great casting ability, even into the wind rigged weedless. ”
“ Cast great while sightcasting big speckled trout and reds; big trout have been reacting to it better than what I was throwing; it’s a no brainer for redfish. ”
“ I really like the weight and durability of the lure. For a soft plastic it has a real nice weight to it that allows me to cast it extremely far and accurately… similar to what I can cast a conventional top water. to me it's like the love child of a corky and saltwater assassin, but much more durable than the assassin lures. But most importantly it catches me big fish :) I have probably caught more big speckled trout in the past year than in the past 10 year combined, and my tackle box is very simple now... Trout support lures and top waters. So yea, I would say that I am a fan ;). ”
“ These lures cast extremely well with a 4/0 wide gap worm or screw lock hook. They go through anything, sea grass, weeds, rocks, and shell. A great situation bait. Covers the entire water column depending on your retrieve. ”
“ These are great for flounder too. Sorry about the background, this spot is secret ”
“ It's buoyant with just a 5/0 hook which means that it's slow sinking all the way down. When you cast it it breaks through the wind with ease, and it sinks level, not head first unless you're using a jig head. ”
“ It quickly became the go-to confidence lure for me. I started using it last fall with great success in the back lakes around Port O Connor. A redfish can't let it go by him without hitting it, AND I caught a couple of my best speckled trout on them as well. I feel that the castability of this lure alone will improve a fisherman’s success ”
“ The Trout Support Lure is a fun lure with great action that casts really well. While others are picking grass out of their lures, I’m catching speckled trout! ”
“ I love the action of this lure in the water; couldn’t ask for a better redfish lure, slow sink yet cast great ”
