IIRC it was a Blue Fox spinner. No bait allowed on that river. :)

We have a spinner... but the company owner doesn't seem to push this particular lure for some reason, he hasn't even given me a discription to put up on the site -- Image Here

how effective are spinners? (as opposed to buzz baits and jigs?)

I've been fishing since I could hold a rod and reel in. :p Even though I didn't catch worth sh!t in my Dad's boat, I remember those days like they were yesterday. Ahhh......the memories of a kid. No expenses, no worries, all playing with toys....ALL GONE. :(

Bah! I can't find a picture of one. Go to Bluefox.com click on products, lures, vibrax mid. I was using the plated ones and the painted ones. 1/4 to 3/8 oz. In my experience there is nothing better for salmon, steelhead, and trout, than a spinner. I especially like Panther Martin spinners for trout.

I don't fish. I figure that since I really don't care to eat fish, there's no real point in my fishinig. Besides, time spent fishing would take away from the time I have to spend under a car or on a motorcycle.

Like Uberdave said you gotta come to Michigan. Fishing has never been bigger. They are lined elbow to elbow when the salmon are running.

I'm no fisherman, but my wife's family has owned fishing tacke stores since I've known her. Her brother's store is up by Tippy Dam.
