Just noticed this old thread. Thoughts from someone who has been fishing brookies/specks for 60 years: If you want bigger ones focus on using larger bait fish, and specifically the type of bait fish naturally in the waters you are fishing. If bait isn't legal in the water you are fishing next best thing is something that mimmicks a larger bait fish -- an articulated artificial works better than ones that aren't articulated -- fly, hardbait, spinner-softbait combo.
