Working Spinner Rigs


Guest

Recommended Posts

I am having trouble working spinner rigs with leeches. I was told to let out a lot of line when I feel a bite and then set the hook. I still haven't caught a walleye yet this way and only one northern. Is this how I should be working these rigs? Or are there different methods? Any help would be great. Thanks

Spinner rigs create a reaction bite. You should be trolling these rigs above the bottom. The fish either slam it or they let it go. You will know when you get a fish on a spinner rig. You have to keep the bait above the bottom and moving. The best spinners i use are here http://fishingminnesota.com/spinner-rigs-infiltrator.html

If your using a lindy rig system with your rig and drifting or slow trolling you can fish them just like a lindy rig that has a NightCralwer on it just don't let as much line when you feel the bite because the fish don't "tap" as much with a leech they just hit it

good luck

We basically are using lindy rigs. Free roaming sinker, a 2-5' snell, a spinner, beads and a leech. I have only had a bass slam this presentation. The pike I have caught, I fed line too. What would be tapping my line if not walleye? I would think pike would slam it?

Try just letting your rod tip fall back with the bite, then set the hook. This allows a little time to feel the fish with out the fish feeling you.

Good Luck!!

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
