if your interested in loosing less hardware. I've used the brass little cleo and had great success for winter fish. But for less hang ups I get rid of the trebble hook and switch out to a siwash. Its made a huge difference on lost gear.I have caught 5 Winter steelhead on Spoons in the Clack this year. I do the same thing let the rapids do the work and keep them close to the bottom. I loose more on snags though! But that is where the fish are by the snags! Darn Native Rocks anyway!

so now I bring along the spinning gear and a hand full of my favorite spoons (steelies) to use when there are other folks on the bank to consider.
less hook ups tho, but when you do get hooked up into a salmon/steelie i bet its hooked pretty darn good?
just keep em sharp and they are just as effective.
what???? really???? why don't you just tie one at the end of the tippet of your st. croix?
