silverstreak Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 When the fishing becomes slow sometimes the best thing to do is switch things up a bit. Not much happening on the float gear so switched over to a # 2 Riverwood spinner and was soon into a chunk of steel. Fish smacked the spinner hard but pinching the barbs down on the hook always makes for an easy release. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJL Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Beautiful piece of steel there. I looooove tossing spinners for steelhead. The way they smash them is unreal - Definitely no mistaking a hit...Almost like hooking into a solid snag and suddenly having it go ballistic at warp speed.

MJL Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Looks like a Mepps to me... Can’t go wrong with French blade spinners. Almost all the spinners I regularly use and keep in my bag are made with French blades in various colours. Here are about half of the ones I use…My dad has the other half in his vest. I made my own spinners almost identical to the Riverwood spinners out of necessity for fishing long, deeper runs and pools (2 top left spinners in the pic). The brass body gets the spinner down and keeps it down – They don't tend to ride to the surface like some other spinners do in faster conditions. Those Riverwood spinners do look like they’re going to be great fish producers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leecher Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Switching it up definitely paid off..... Nice steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 MJL, that's pretty cool man. I really like the sonic blades on the Panther Martins. I can really slow down my retrieve without them sinking to the bottom. I should probably look into picking up a kit, and stop wasting $$$ at BPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozaibak1 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Nice catch, I'm tempted to try fishing for these guys if a spinning rod and spinnerbaits like that work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I've given kwikfishes a try, but never spinner. This will change soon. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
