Any reason why you went with a treble instead of a single hook, though?
Getting a single out of a big nasty fish can be a lot easier - for both the angler and the fish.
CCB- not a fan of trebles
You know CCB, good question. It was a toss up really. I think singles are great for spinners too. I've never caught a muskie, and these lures probably won't see water for a couple more years. I'll most likely tie some up with singles though, but for now, I have trebles handy, and don't think I have any big enough singles anyways.
What size of single hook do ya think would be good with these lures that are going to run 7-11"???
I think I'll do another this afternoon. Snow storm today keeping me inside.
RJ, trebles, gotcha. I'm keeping 19 and you get 1.
Thanks lads, I'm proud of the first attempt. Mainly yellow hair but when I tied the hair up the shaft I tied it in like this...
yellow, orange, yellow, brown, yellow, orange, yellow, brown, yellow, orange, yellow, white, then orange saddle hackle.
The shaft for this spinner is thicker than the thickest you can order from RealPro, so some of the bead holes had to be widened a little with the drill. Turns out too that the lead weight is a 1.5oz too, so this lure is definetely 2 plus ounces. Better make some lighter ones for when the arm is toast.
