spinners

[need to fish]

what is your favorit spinner for steelhead or salmon ?
mine is R&B spinners

[Gabe]

Depends on the water conditions and fish I'm chasing.

Sandy coho with stupid horrible milty vis = #4 R&B - Mallard. (black blade and body with green tape and tube)
Winter steel = #4 Silver/Silver black tape/tube or a Matte Silver/Blue

I far and above love a torpedo shaped spinner over a bell.

Anybody that knows me knows that it is Blue Fox's. Depending where and weather blue and silver, green and silver, purple and silver, red and silver, red and brass, all brass, all silver and sometimes black combos.

They all have a time and place or they would not make it more than a year or two on the market. That is the cold hard, simple reality in the world of tackle. The saying is "every year 8 more spinner guys start painting, and 10 close up shop."

For me it's TCO or BC. They make great gear with quality paint jobs, and any custom work you want done. They have put a lot of fish in the boat for me.

For casting I like brass with green, orange, or red tips as my go to's. I use a whole lot of black and matte silver too.

The one you like, have confidence in, actually leave tied on, keep fishing hard with, hit all the pockets relentlessly with - is the one that catches fish. Don't get stuck spending half the day changing colors.
Change up's catch plenty of fish, when you know they are there but not biting your favorite green one then change it up, otherwise beat feet or fire up that motor and find some fish.

R&B only for me. 84% of the time I fish a #4 black body matte silver blade. 3% of the time I use a brass blade with a black body. 3% of the time I use a #3 black body matte silver blade. And the other 10% I use a size 4.5. The rivers I fish I just use winter steelhead type tactics all year long. When flows drop on the sandy during coho season #3 spinners are perfectly weighted that's pretty much the only time I use em. Occasionally I'll use different colors here and there depending on whats available when i buy components. I think spoons work better than spinners in deep salmon holes with weird currents, they flutter around better and stay down deeper.

There is something about black on silver, even for trout! My top-producing rooster tail for trout and other species of fish is a black skirted, black body 1/8thoz with a silver blade. I have very rarely failed to catch a trout on one, even if the fishing is terrible.

R&B's now days, but I started throwin BC gear, and I still do fairly often... Colors... Yup, I fish all sorts. They all seem to nail fish if they are around.

BOOM the oh wise one has spoken, go deep or go home....I like some brass or copper colors sometimes, I make a mean re make of a buds steelhead spinner with a heavy r&b blade that I have come to like also have some heavy r&b bells that have been good, dont forget the hootchie when the time is right.

[ryank]

I'll be trying hootchies for springers this year. They like em plunking, can't imagine why they wouldn't like them attached to a spinner!

Sometimes I just go down to the snack shack and pick out a few random selections from whatever happens to be hanging on the wall...Have found some pretty cool color combinations that way. But if I'm gunna be twisting up my own, I prefer the #4 R&B sometimes I'll go with the 4.5 The bodies I prefer black, blue or purple. as far as the blade goes it's the matte silver. I also like to keep a couple green body w/ brass blade on hand as well.
