So I recieved some real nice spoons and Spinner today!!  They look great and a can't wait to give them a try!!  Think I will try some under a float, and the spoons well, I have a nice spot to try them!!




Thanks Rodney, and great job!!  I hope to catch many fish on them!

[Coho Cody]

i gotta gets me some of those

[Rodney]

The flash tape ones are new, just came out last month. Glad you got them safely BS. I'm excited to see how the copper/gold blade ones do. With the water clarity that good in the Fraser, they should do very well in a month from now.

[Big Steel]

So does a lesson on how to use them a month from now come with the spinners?

[Big Steel]

Tie spoon or spinner to the end of your line.
Cast lure into the river.
Retrieve a various speeds.
Repeat as necessary til you catch a fish.
Hope this helps you Big Steel 

Thanks!!

will the 2106 be light enough to cast spoons?

[scruffy]

so Rodney are you planing on making any more spinners and spoons if you are be very interested

[Big Steel]

will the 2106 be light enough to cast spoons?

[Youngin]

I have to get me some of those!! They look so good I'm willing to eat them!

[kellya]

Youngin are you not fed at home lol ? 

[Fish Assassin]

will the 2106 be light enough to cast spoons?

Yes it would work. I was using that setup for pinks last year.

[*Lil Fisherman*]

I was going to say that im looking forward to using them tomorrow...but I forgot them in Victoria!!!!!
Any suggests for the Harrison River?
Ima send a new order in for some spinner this time. And remember to put a stamp on this time...nudge nudge wink wink...haha Rod...

[Youngin]

Youngin are you not fed at home lol ? 

Nope.. haven't been catching any fish lately..

Possibly, when more fish arrive. Maybe we should have a Tidal Fraser Fish-out/demo, but it seems like fisherforever has already covered it quite nicely.

will the 2106 be light enough to cast spoons?

Yes, I use a Stryker Rainshadow IST 1263F, which is very similar to a 2106. I cast the spoon with 12lb test Maxima from a Shimano low profile baitcasting reel. I do this in rivers (not the Fraser, smaller systems) and do quite well with coho at tailouts etc. Most of the time the males slam the spoon instead of the female. The way I fish it isn't necessarily by retrieving, but simply holding the spoon back and let it flutter as it drifts downstream.

On the tidal Fraser, where current is almost absent, I use a light spinning rod for both the spoons and spinners. 8lb test Maxima, on a Shimano 2500 spinning reel. The rod is a Fenwick HMX spinning rod, rated 4 to 10lb. This has worked well over the years for pink, coho, chum and bull trout around Richmond.

so Rodney are you planing on making any more spinners and spoons if you are be very interested

Still lots. Don't want to turn this into a buy and sell thread, so:
