Spinners in Canada
A group of us have been going to Lake Wabaskang for a few years and one of our "fish-nerdy" efforts has been to tie up spinners on the 16 hour drive. Spinners up there have worked fantastic every year. Problem is, the spinners we have been tying definately do not emulate the ones we buy while up their in Canada. The ones we get there fave significantly larger spinners, hooks and lines. I am looking for an example of the appropriate size. So - here is the question - anyone know the right size? or the name of a store (don't say Cabella's or Bass Pro yet cause I don't know which size yet) up there in Canada that I could call to see if they wil mail me one?

size and season...
I was watching a North American fishing show over the weekend. They were fishing spinner rigs, according to them, early season you fish smaller blades for smaller fish, later in the season, you move to a bigger blade for bigger fish. Small bait, small fish, big bait, big fish!
In the past we have been able to fish jigs in areas, where rivers flow into the lake for walleye. This year we are going up a few weeks later in the season. Along with what seems to be a early ice out and later in the year, we have been gearing up with spinners and worm harnesses for eyes in deeper water. |

We have fished spinners for 40 yrs. Get the clevis that you can exchange blades. We try different sizes until we determine what size works. Many times the larger blades will catch the bigger fish,although the smaller blades typically catch more of all sizes. We also experiment with colors,speed,depths.We also tie the spinners with different color beads and hook sizes. At times we troll until we fine large concentrations of walleyes,then we stop and jig.We experiment until we find what works

Thanks Dave. So I guess my question is what size line hook and spinner are your bigger spinners made of?

Spinners
The place I buy my spinners from has a website and lists the different sizes they use. Check out Klass Tackle dot com. The spinners they make with the steel line work great for our shallow trolling in Lac Seul.
Best regards, Scott |

and yes, get some quick change clevises for quick blade changes. Saves alot of time when your tinkering with spinner presentations |

I'm the guy who ties up spinners on the drive with Illinois AG and also appreciate the help. As reference, I usually use #3-4 Colorado blades, 5mm beads (usually glass faceted) and 14# mono (XT). Don't remember hook size offhand. Our spinners usually look smaller than others we see - maybe we just have spinner envy.
So I'll ask another question: what style hooks do you like? Thanks! |

And the line your using will work great (just don't get the abrasion resistance of fluoro) |

Bass Pro's recent sale
I bought some Northlands spinners and wormharnesses during their recent sale, different sizes and colors. We fished stained waters, so gold was my choice. We will see what works in June!
