    My advice would be to cut off one of the hooks and keep 2 it’s much better for the fish if you get a treble hooks stuck in the throat you will not get it back out without seriously hurting or killing the fish , treble hooks are absolutely unnecessary

    If you also fish spoons I recommend checking out the Møreungen Nordlys – Yellow from Norway. It won, substantially, against a large number of lures in a contest of 10's of thousands throws per lure.

    One can use all the lures at crabeles they won't hit. I fish at a place fukers are finicky as fuk. I go to my best bait my mother had me using 50 years ago. Nite-crawler. For bass jointed rapala, ribbon tail.

    One thing rarely addressed is casting accuracy, which is especially important on smaller streams with smaller spinning rods (six feet and shorter) and using two-pound through four-pound test line. You cannot accurately cast from a spinning reel with line that is coiled by memory! Before heading down to the water, hook your spinner to a tree or your car and open the bail and pace off the maximum distance you intend to cast, say about thirty meters of line. Now flip the bail and tighten up the line SLOWLY AND STEADILY to stretch out the line, and slowly get the line to about 75% of its breaking point! Back off and let it go slack, then stretch it again SLOWLY. Doing this will heat the line and remove any coils from its memory! Now, you're good to go for several hours. With more accurate casting, you'll catch more fish and larger fish! 🎣 – j q t –

    I mainly fly fish for trout, but I’ve started fishing jigs and spinners recently due to it being easier to manage when bringing people along with me in the boat. Great breakdown, very informative. Thanks for sharing.

    I'm 68 years old. Grew up in the Midwest (NW Iowa). Started fishing using a spinner for blue gills and small bass. To-date, I still go fishing with at least one rod that has a spinner on it. I live on the Great Lakes now (past 30 years), and throw a spinner first, no matter what I'm fishing for. Great video!

    Really great video and super informative! We just moved to Portugal and some great rivers around us with trout everywhere! Can't wait to get out and fish using your advice and tips.

    I can't, for the love of God catch a damn thing on a spinner. I have every size, colour, weight. I cast in rivers, creeks, lakes…at morning, noon, evening…slow, fast, deep, shallow…upstream, downstream. These f*kers do not care to bite.

    Joe’s Flies, Royal Coachman. If weight is needed add a sinker above it. Cast across the stream and drift down and across. Deadly! Best spinners I’ve ever used. Not very popular up north an NO bait shop carries them which is a shame. I agree with other comments about smallest is best. I fish both # 8 and 10.
