What gets me is why doesn't Blue Fox just put a split ring on their lure and provide both hook types ready to be attached. Seems like an awful waste having to ruin a perfectly good treble to replace with a single. But thats just me. This is exactly what I wanted to see as I will apply it to my other inline spinners as well. Good vid! Thanks! Holy Moley, Fish On! 😂😂😂

I was surprised you didn't mention the head is a great place to inject scent to the lure rigged this way. Hey, every little bit counts. Tight lines. 🐟🎣

That’s why I shove a small amount of cotton ball inside.

I go with 6's all the way and go straight to 20lb. Mono. But that's once the rivers have come up and there's some color to it. Love these spinners. But I will retie them with heavier gauge wire. Good video.

Fantastic!Thanks for sharing bud

Nice... I'll try this on the Skagit today...

A another trick if you have some with bent wire or don't mind replacing the wire is to replace the plastic spacer with a piece of 3/16 hollow core pencil lead for some added wait and a dressed hook. Great video. Fish On

I just use crappie tubes as hoochies … I got a few diff ones including glow… I don’t like how light the blue fox is in some situations I make my own spinners with a 1/4oz bullet weight sometimes

Have you tried using a spinner with a soft bead in the hook ? For a river system..

@HolyMolyOutdoors

10 ай бұрын

It can work as a target point for sure!

Curious, do you tie direct to the lure with a barrel swivel at the leader/line connection or do you use a clip or a snap swivel?

@HolyMolyOutdoors

5 ай бұрын

Thank you for the question. If a swivel is on the top eye I tie direct. Too many hinge points can tangle on the cast or retrieve

Coho killers for me

Years ago I scored a dozen Lefty's Deceiver saltwater streamer flies at a sport show for next to nothing. I used them to dress several spinners, mostly Vibrax, but also Panther Martins. Just cut off the treble, add a little split ring and put on the Deceiver. I have caught walleye, bass, northern pike, muskie, trout and salmon on various sizes. The hoochie is really popular here in the NW, so it makes sense. Same idea. Especially useful in areas where trebles are banned, for instance the Boundary Waters.

I find the brand Prime Lures is a better option and more cost effective.

Rubber Trout worms work well as on a spinner also.

I love blue fox but the UV finish is trash. It will almost completely chip off with one or two days of fishing

@HolyMolyOutdoors

I can see that happening. Seems like some of the finishes don’t have a good base coat to prime to or too coat of varnish. I’d always keep some moon jelly tape on hand to replace as needed for any areas

Blue fox spinners are quite possibly the most overrated piece of garbage used by fishermen. North Fork Lures are quality spinners and outfish this garbage. Keep fishing this trash while I go catching!

You can't beat the customer service at North Fork and they are made right here in Washington. They definitely work and I won't buy spinners anywhere else while they are still in business. Blue Fox spinners are alright particularly if you need them right now but the North Fork spinners definitely outfish them once you figure out the right color and size for conditions.
