@MarkoAbo I always use a snap swivel, as you might wanna change the spinner up a few times til you find the right collor that will induce more strikes that day. As one color might do really well one day, the next day it might not. So the snap swivel just saves you a lot of time, rather then clip the line and tie a new spinner on your line.
@saweheh It depends on how big the spinner is. If it is small and you are unable to cast too far with it, then you can add some additional weights above the spinner (maybe 1 or 2ft above the spinner). The weights can be sliding weights or split shots.
@LeagueOfOwend You're welcome! Definitely keep on trying and you'll catch lots of fish on spinners. I use a variety of spinners. Sometimes I use homemade spinners by purchasing lure parts and make them myself. Sometimes Rooster Tails by Yakima Bait.
@hacky234 The size of your spinner used depends on how big your target fish are. Size 3 spinner definitely works for rainbow trout, but if fish are too small (<12 inches), then you may want to try a smaller spinner. Experiment with different sizes and after many trips, you'll figure out what sizes work best under which situations. Good luck! :)
@yabudday121 Personally, I prefer to use a spinner from shore instead of from a boat. When fishing from a boat, you tend to fish in deeper waters where other techniques are used (jigging, etc). That being said, spinners work both from shore and a boat, it really depends on what situation you are in.
@centurion180 Depending on what you are fishing for. For trout, look for spinning rods that are rated 2 - 6lb test, and add the smallest spinning reel you can find onto it. For salmon, you'd need heavier rods (rated 6 to 12lb test) and a larger spinning reel is needed. I think we have a spinning rod tutorial in our video archive about this question so check it out.
@bughumming The rod in this video is 6' long. Most of the trout fishing rod I use for spincasting lures is at this length. Any longer becomes a bit annoying, especially for short people like me. The fishing line is Maxima Ultragreen, 4lb test.
u seem like a really cool dude. idk why haha but im glad ur not one of those stuck up assholes who think they own the river, or lake. id love to fish with u man. keep up the good work on the videos. looking forward to seeing more! u got urself another subscriber...
Hi rod. I have spinner like the one you're using but the only difference is that it has 3 hooks. Is still good for trout fishing? Thnx for the reply:)
@ethansmith A treble hook is fine for trout on the spinner too. Here in British Columbia, we are only allowed to use a single hook on lures for most freshwater fisheries. After using single hooks on the lure for many years, I find that it works just as well as a treble hook, and also leaves less damage on the fish if you intend to release it.
hi rod thnx for all the tips! i learned so much on your videos. by the way where is this video taken? seems like there's a lot of trout here and the water looks clean:) thnx for your reply.
@Pablonian In this particular video, the spinner already has a lure body that is heavy enough so no additional weight is needed. Some spinners do not have weighted body on them so you'd need to add a weight onto the main line. I prefer not to do that as it may result in complications (tangles, line twist, poor casting).
@salmonslayermatt I mostly build my own spinners by buying parts (lure bodies, blades, wire, split rings, swivels) to get the exact size and pattern that I want. You can buy parts from most tackle stores or just look online by searching for lure parts in Google or Ebay. For spinners that you buy from stores, try out Rooster Tails and Blue Fox. 1/8oz are great for trout, with a size 4 or 6 hook.
@salmonslayermatt Go for the mepps aglia. When purchasing a larger size try replacing the trebble hook with a single siwash hook, this will help with less hang ups and a much better hookset. Best sizes always vary on the conditions you're fishing in. Stick to gold and silver and be sure to always keep the lure in contact with the river bed, which is usually where you'll always find trout and salmon. Good luck, tight lines. Catch and release the wild ones!!!!!
@AwesomeStartsWithA There isn't one particular best place to fish in Richmond. They're all equally good, but the tide has a huge influence on how good each spot can be. Some spots produce better when the tide is at its lowest while others may produce better just after the tide peaks. On our website, click on "Fishing locations" in the menu and you'll find a list of "Tidal Fraser River" fishing locations. I've had very good experiences at all of those spots mentioned. Good luck.
Do you like to tie the spinner directly to your mainline or do you use a snap swivel and attach the spinner to that? Thanks, nice video
