Who uses them ? This one looks like a black gnat with a touch of red.Attachment 263193Attachment 263194 .
Ive had a lot of success on them but I like panther martins better, most of the time its too weedy where I fish to use them effectively.
Could you please give us an item number for that Mepps spinner? Thanks
I don't like treble hooks for gills. (Don't like 'em for anything, really). If I wanted to use a blade bait, I'd go with a beetle spin or a road runner.
Why not use the single hook ones? I'm pretty sure the style he's using is single hook.Quote:

For gills, I think jigs or flies are all you need.
Fair point, but to me it's a variety thing. I could tie 1 style and color of jig that's gonna work for me 90% of the time, but I tie a bunch of styles and colors for fun.Quote:

Really enjoy bream/redear fishing.My go to is a fly rod popping bug abd bream killer."nothing like it" the Mepps spinner's that being said we make our own mepp's inlines because like the Roadrunner they have over priced their baits and are made cheaper.The blade does not spin and if the blade doesn't spin the lure does not work."bends the shaft and cannot get it straight again!! the shaft bends inside of the body.Called Mepps about this problem no response to fix the problem.A heaver stanless steel Shaft.So we make our own inlines with stanless steel shafts FATMAN's style'Luremaking".We catch every thing.We rig them with single hook's for trout and everything else.Not a rant but our 2 cents.
Is this it?Quote:

I buy spinners with treble hooks and just cut off two barbs with wire cutters.Quote:

The trebles run smaller than the single hook and it also has a longer shank. I tried what you said by default when I broke a hook trying to get it out of Oscar's mouth. It will work but not as well.
You might try it with a different spinner. I only use Mepps and Blue Fox. Never had any hooking problems with them.Quote:

That would work just as well. Only single hook ones I saw in store were the Rooster Tails. As far as the Oscars they will hit anything that remotely resembles prey. We caught them on a dozen different lures and they love crickets. Turbo Bream is their nickname.

It's not a problem making them except what size wire will go through the hook eye. If you tie your own flies check for some of the big eye hooks and then you can use a bigger wire size making your spinner.
I used to throw a black 1/32 oz. Rooster tail..It was one of the deadliest baits I have ever seen.. Think it had a 0 silver blade. I don't think they make them anymore

They still make them, I used a black 1/32 last week and my friend's jaw hit the floor when he saw all the fish it was catching.Quote:
