What's your favorite coho spinner? Mine would have to be a #3 blue fox in fire tiger. Been very successful with it.
Just wanted to hear from you guys. Thanks!

I agree with the limitation with the blue fox. I use them in slack water so they go deeper than in moving water. The firetiger pattern really seems to work well. Although not a spinner, Little Cleo's work well for me.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

#5 RVRFSHRSPNNRS. Blue Fox are a bit light to begin with, add the extra surface area of the hoochie and you have to give them quite a bit of sink time to get them into the zone. Heavier hoochie spinners get into the zone more quickly and stay there longer. More time in the zone = well, you get the idea. For WA silvers, Gold blades and body with green splatter style hoochies. For AK silvers, silver blades with pink bodies and pink hoochies. And finally, the most important part, it doesn't matter that much Most any combo with some scent, bling, and striking contrast (shock factor) will get the job done. See Todd and Parker's line ups as top shelf examples. Having some more subtle stuff like dark colored jigs to twitch over stacked & dour fish can be a good thing to throw into the mix. The DanS signature husky spinner is magic! But you forgot the W

Rvrfshr #5's, if you want to get deeper than three feet in moving water Fish on... Todd Todd, We're gonna need to talk about me getting an order like that put together for where I'm headed next weekend. I'm really liking what I see there! Also, I have to agree with DanS on the #5 purple body vibrax. killer spinner! kings and Dolly's like em too.

The deep blue fox does the job in terms of going down deeper in the water, but in my opinion, doesn't get the job done as well.

Back in the day, I used Flash Glo spinners in gold or nickel and caught lots of fish. Now I mainly use Blue Fox, Rvrfshr And Mepps.

I still use Flash Glos when we're fishing frog-water like the Chehalis. Silver on cloudy days, gold on sunny days.

I think any #5 blade is to big. no mater how much weight the body is they pull to hard to stay down with #5's. I would have to say parkers spinners look sweet i love the purple/gold with the purple hoochie but all of those colors are catchers. What about the Flying C.

Mepps Aglia spinners in pink have killed a lot of silvers for me+others as well, which is somewhat surprising, because nothing about them is terrible special.

I think any #5 blade is to big. I beg to differ.

I think any #5 blade is to big. I beg to differ. + many. The only time I drop below a 5 anymore is when the water is LOWWWW. Then it's a #3 copper, sans hootchie. Looking like that may be my starter for the opener this year.

I've caught fish with a 5 blade, in pink.
I'm going to try a pink hootchie spinner with a half and half blade tomorrow. We'll see if that works. I'm fishing the Skagit btw.

where I do most of my spinner fishing it's a #4 silver rvrfshr with pink hoochie. I bring others but that's the one I use most. So much in fact that I used the same one for 2 seasons before I lost it another thing I found the vibrax good for is line twist, even with a swivel. As far as pen tac goes, the blades look good but the one time I ordered anything from them the order was wrong and the customer service worse.
