Must reread this entire thread. The rainbow that I hooked was on this wee Gold Rush lure, which has a lot of similarities to the Mepps Thunderbugs that @Dundee favours. My first cast was with a Veltic which hooked up on first cast but was promptly spat out and then to add insult to injury, the damn fish started to leap about on the surface then disappeared. Changed lures a few times but no bites. Found this one, still new in the packet, and sent it. Second cast, it got absolutely smashed and the rest was history.
