Cool. Hope your stuff works for you. Keep in mind with the live trout softbait that this is not a shallow water or shore fishing kind of bait. This is a bait that needs at least 10' of water to even begin to fish. If you're in 15 to 40 with crystal clear water, that's the better scenario. Fishing this thing from shore is almost out of the question because of the diving action. You don't want to beat the bill in to the bottom, it's just not made to do that for too long.

hope that helps. good luck Tim.
