Got idea for this rig  from NW Pacific trollers - running 3.5 blade size trolling spinners behind flashers - made up some hi-vis UV spinners, combined w/ 8" SpinDoctors - maybe on to something here - were running this last July homeport Menominee, MI came in with a nice salmon & took 1st place in our local derby!  am thinking the spinner adds just enough action to trigger strikes from fish that would otherwise just follow?  okay, later - good luck this next spring!

Field testing these last season went well, Capt. Craig Keller called the Green one the "Beautiful Spoon"

Good luck trolling this spring!

cool, i think that 5 of diamonds pattern is a Canadian favorite

We had fun w/ these at Eagle Lake in Ontario, the pike hit them like crazy, out-fished our bucktails & spinnerbaits baits 6:1 - if you want, I can post these on EBay w/ the Weedless Hooks for pike & musky fishing...

this clear coat from CS Coatings works good, clean tape 1st w/ alcohol, if it is very shiny may have to rough it up 1st w/ fine sandpaper - also to get the tape edges down, can use a little superglue or clear nail polish -

Nice pics and nice looking spoons.  I like the hammered spinner blade at the hook,

thank you!  I think from field testing, the spinner blade actually acts like a rattle, banging against the treble hook shank - not sure if this is triggering the strikes, but definitely gets more hits than spoons without it - little extras I guess  (even works for whitefish!)

Downrigger Weights

Poured some downrigger weights for our boat "Team Busch"
16oz cans ended up 10lbs ea., next time might try the 24oz monster cans?

Just wanna say u got 1 heck of a spoon there.  All 3 of the big fish were caught on them.  2 on blue, 1 on green. Plus some salmon - we caught 16 that day and the majority were off them.  Very ​impressed.  I already ordered another set and I'm sure a few of my buddy's will be in the future.

Thanks John!  Awesome catch!!!
