copper blades and black nickel are good now!!! good in low clear. My buddy has been running black spinners for the last few weeks. not tossen out to much colors other than that
You guys talk about B.C., To a noob, what tackle shop is that and where are they located? Sounds like I need to be educated on how to make spinners as well. Thank you in advance.
...they're still in there. Tried copper for a while, but I got this one before work on a slightly tarnished #3 brass blade with a black body. Thanks
The other day I saw some fish in shallow riffles (only about 18" - maybe less). I was tempted to use a technique that Jed Davis describes in his spinner book -- running the spinner just under the surface of water, rather than along the bottom. I did get a fish that day, but it was in deeper water very near where I spotted the fish. Any thoughts on how to approach very shallow water with spinners?
Thanks
Hey to be fair he is a nice guy, and will tell you about as fast as you walk in that he can't answer your questions and that hes completely new! He will "Mirror" some of the stuff he hears bill say but thats it for now.
that shop is a great place to learn, so just give him awhile and he'll be on top of it.
Glad to hear he is hittin the river and isn't just stuck in there all week!
Suprised no one else commented about tape. Its a tactic that more and more people are falling away from, but I for one carry every single color of lure tape I've ever seen made on my boat when I know I'll be running trolling spinners all day. I have a gallon ziplock stuffed full of tape that I bring in the boat on spinner days.
I love the ability to instantly customize and create spinners on the spot to vary with the conditions (clarity, sun, clouds, depth, ect)
sharpies/stanford permanent markers and red tape have killed plenty of fish.
Just make sure you are very certain which custom job you have on in case you hook a fish and manage to loose the spinner/plug that way you can make a whole bunch more just like it.
