Best lure for trout?

with trout season about to start in NY i have a question. what is the best lure for trout? most of the time i use power bait and it works great. but i dont like that i have no lures for trout. i have heard that rooster tails work well but i dont like that you cant cast them that far at all. so besides them what lures do you find are the best. will they hit a top water popper for b or is it to big for the trout? please help.
