Are these any good for trouts in creeks? My friend said yes but never tried before. Do I have to hook live bait like worms on that or I just need to tie them on my line ready to cast? Some special knot needed?
Those will work for trout just how they are you cast them and reel them in. You don’t need a special knot but a swivel either snapped onto the lure or tied with a leader a foot or so up from it will reduce line twist that causes frustrating tangles.

Those are called inline spinners not spoons but they will catch many species of fish. I favor Rooster Tail brand but those will work👍

They are not spoons, they’re in-line spinners. They work without bait. You can tie them directly to your line, but I prefer to have a swivel above to reduce line twist. Look for a run that is 2-4 feet deep, walking speed current, with a gravel/cobblestone bottom without too many large rocks or logs breaking the surface. Start by casting across the river, and slightly downstream and slowly reeling as the current swings the lure towards you. Casting upstream will allow the lure to get deeper, but you will snag the bottom more often and lose your spinners.
