Im fishing for trout..rainbow and browns. Big ones. 500 cfs of water up to 1500 cfs. Needing a Rapala that will get down there, not a floater. And about a 1/4 oz for distance. Theres a million different models! What do I need?

Countdown rapalas, they sink about one foot per second. I always did best with silver or gold. Bass Pro or Cabelas. also Tackle Warehouse carries the full Rapala line. Owned by Pure Fishing group. I think the size ya need is #7 and #9. Good luck

Can't go wrong with #11floating . Weight can be added by a split shot about a foot up the line. Multiple size split shot means different depths.

Count down for sure But I would go bigger for big trout. Nine as a minimum eleven would be good for fish in the three to eight pound range. Black over white and black over gold. White on clear days gold on overcast. Crocodiles in silver with florescent orange stripes and gold with same both hammered finish three inches from eye of swivel to bottom of treble hook. With both lures cast across the flow upstream at a forty five degree angle keep your rod tip high and reel fast enough to make them swim but not so fast that you don't bump bottom occasionally. I've caught hundreds of rainbows and browns that would look good on anyones wall with this technique and these lures. Good luck and tight lines.

Theres a million different models! What do I need? Jerk Shads in Arkansas shiner, pick a long shank jig head in a weight that will do the job . Probably start with a 1/4 oz head.
