Spinners

[troutboy]

Mepp's or panther martin? whats your favorite?

For me I LOVE both, for big ol' brookies!

[BillM]

Panther Martins...

[hammercarp]

Mepps

[Spiel]

Panther Martins, been working for me for over 30 plus years.

[fishhunter]

Both, but I take the treble off and run a single hook. Less damage to the fish

[Eazy]

Hey, Hey , wait a minute.............you forgot to add the super vibrax to this thread!............Killers for Coho and Steelhead!

[Guest ThisPlaceSucks]

the mepps black fury #3.

[Eazy]

For speckies tho, I prefer a smaller Hildebrant with a snell hook and worm, seem to get more that way when they're finicky!

[MuskyGreenHorn]

Both have their time and place really. What about the worden's rooster tail?

[asdve23rveavwa]

I'm with Eazy, another vote for the Blue Fox vibrax...#4 Fire Tiger, awesome for Bows and Ho's!!!!!

I haven't used a spinner in a long time, but I preferred a Mepps Aglia when I did use them. The wide blade of an Aglia compared to the willow leaf of a panther martin made for a much slower retrieve, which proved beneficial to me. I target bigger fish these days and find crank baits or jigs easier and more effective to use. Jigs especially. If you're targeting smaller Trout in a creek, give a Rapala Countdown size 3 a try. I've caught numerous Trout on a CD 3.

I like Mepps as I rarely use my Panther Martin. I must start this year.

[redneck666]

i stick to mepps, have never used panther martins and vibrax only used once with good results. i stick more towards just a plain worm hook and sinker with a little spiner that you can attach a hook to, not sure what their called, their more of a spinner bait style spinner except smaller and plain chrome or whatever it is. they work great for me cause i usually only creek fish for specks and i get great catches that way! only a few select people in town know about my pools!

Have to admit I've always been partial to the Black Fury.

[Mike Pike]

For brookie fishing down this part of Southern Ontario, I use both but find myself flipping and casting the Mepps a bit more oftern. With our fish being smaller than what you'd find up your way, I use the smaller size spinners and find the heavier weight of the Mepps makes 'em easier to throw.

1/32 oz. with black blade and feathers has always been a killer for me ! Love them Specks

[anders]

[Spiel]

Panther Martin: silver blade, yellow body, red spots. Killer!

 

 

That's the one.

[The Birdfish]

Mepps all the way, earlier this year while on a trip with 2 boats out and the only thing catching was a gold Mepps for a whole week. I know problably condition related but sold me.

[I'mHooked]

Mepps, Trophy Trout series #3, as per this Brown who liked it. Liked it so much was hit 2 years in a row in the same spot same time of year.

 

 

It's my lucky spinner!

[trevy727]

mepps over panther martin for me. But i use husky jerks and chartuese blue fox's more than the others for bigger brookies. Aglias with a stinger hook and worm as well.

[gbaysteel]

both are awesome but for brookies i love double loon spinners

[smitter]

Mepps Black Fury with a half worm, catches anything that swims.

[CLofchik]

Panther Martin's in creeks & rivers, they seem to spin & swing easier. Definitely has to be silver blade, yellow body, red dots. They make others?

 

Mepps Aglia for lakes.

 

Black Fury when I'm feeling particulary contrary that day.
