Kastmaster are made from solid brass and are available in silver or gold plating – with or without a white skirt. Kastmasters range in size from 1/12 ounce all the way up to 4 oz.

On Round Valley Reservoir, the common size Kastmasters used are the 1/12 to 3/8 oz. models. The 1/12 oz. models are pretty deadly ice fishing in winter, jigged right off the bottom for Lake Trout OR jerked along the shorelines in the early spring after ice-out.

The 1/8 to 3/8 oz. size lures can be fished from shore or boat and used with a steady or staggered retrieve with good effectiveness. This technique will catch trout and bass, but be warned that the fish get weary of these lures as the summer months go on. Best to use these in the Spring and Fall.

Stock a handfull of these bad-boys in your Round Valley tacklebox in various sizes and colors and be ready for anything.
