CatchMo Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I just ran across an article describing how many species are caught with spinnerbaits and went on to mention several large fish, Pike, Muskies, etc that are caught on Magnum spinnerbaits. I was wondering if any of you has tried using them for Salmon or big Stripers. I live on a bay in California and want to try them here. The runs are just beginning so I have time. If you have knowledge of using these please post. Thanks, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I have made some lures for that purpose . Not exactly a spinner . They are pony heads with the spinner on the underside . Generally speaking the colors have been White , Chartruese and yellow with varying buck tail tie patterns . The weight is 3/4 , 1 oz. and 1 1/2 oz. ball bearing swivels with willow leaf blades . I don't have any blood grand children but I have several that call me paw . The background pic is a promise kept . Itold her I would show it to hundreds of people.
