Analyzing Spinners For Trout

(excerpts from "Analyzing Spinners For Trout" in the March 1996 issue of the In Fisherman)

"...A sense of mystery tracks the straight-shaft spinner on every cast. How does something so artificial become a target of aggression for wary, selective, sight-feeding fish?"

The EGB T2 Spinner (Pattern 206) was selected as an example of the French-style blade, which remains the industry standard.

"...French blades are good tools for "bulging," or making a wake by running the spinner just under the surface. They're also considered the best all-purpose blade by most spinner freaks."

"...Each combination of size, weight, color, and blade style uniquely adapts a spinner to certain conditions. Experimenting with these variables through a logical progression (fine tuning your presentation) is the basis for a successful spinner technique."

The EGB P1 Tandem Spinner (Pattern 207) pictured on the right offers more flash than the traditional, single blade spinner.
