Bait is deadly, but after a few years of just bringing roe, shrimp etc, you get a different feeling to fishing. The point for me is to trick the fish into biting an artificial. I bring roe, but only fish it if i really get desperate. When a fish bites something you tied, put together (blade) or made, you get a better feeling. Artificial over bait is almost always going to be my favor.

This is why I decided to tie flies instead of using worms for trout back when I was a kid.

Bent Rod spinners have been excellent for coho on several rivers. I just ordered another 30 today for the season.

We fished coho infested water almost daily for a month last year with jigs and bait. Only saw 1 coho hooked compared to 100's of chums on jigs, bait got us our limit almost everytime. Im sure you could get coho to bite anything if presented right.  I know if I was selling jigs Id play them up too. Bait will always be #1, no ? about it

Not playing up anything Mr Fin, I sell more jigs and spinners than I can keep up with. Anyone who knows me or has dealt with me, knows I am all about helping anglers have success catching fish in an ethical manner. I spend many hours every year talking to, emailing and chatting on the phone with fellow anglers to help them have more success, even folks who are not purchasing lures.

 The truth about Coho is they love to chase things, and are intent on killing things they deem living or intruding their space. I am not saying good roe does not slay coho, I have caught thousands on roe, but in recent years I have learned that there are other things equally effective in certain river conditions.
