They are a sponsor to this website. This place makes very well made spinners. Better quality wire than a lot of what you find mass produced in the stores. I also like the Vibrax spinners.

Also, when I was a kid you could find these spinners: http://thefishicaught.com/gallery/main. ... o+0060.jpg

It came without the hootchie skirt, and they called it a Bolo, made by Les Davis. That was the number spinner for me growing up.

I asked a smiliar question last year and got 58 responses. Check out this thread.

I've got a ton of trout spinners, but if I lost em all this would be my starter kit.

Rooster Tail - 1/8oz in yellow, orange, green & black (both silver & brass blades if I can find em)
Blue fox Vibrex - #1 & #2 with green & chartreuse bells (the green in both black & silver blade)
Panther Martin - 1/8oz black on black (black blade/black body), rainbow, & brown trout

All of these are small, but I use 4# Fireline on an ultralight setup so I can cast em pretty far.

Another thing I have learned - when I buy em, I try to get two of everything because it sucks when you finally find what is working and turn around and lose it!

Good advice to buy pairs.

No surprise on my vote , 1/8oz Red and Orange Armadillo , then 1/8oz Black Armadillo .

1/8th oz oarnge and gold armidillio with gold blade, followed by the same with a silver blade

Worden's rooster-tail spinners. The best id say.

Jakes's Lures!! BEST BAR NONE !!!

My own. Basically a Wedding Ring type using fire polished AB Czech glass beads, a rondelle spacer bead (wedding ring), and various #3 spinner blades on a .024 or .031 SS wire shaft or 10# Stren leader.

As far as spinners goes, I always start out with a 1/8oz Black Rooster Tail w/ a Silver Blade. If that isn't doing it, I'll try a Mepps Aglia Black Fury also in 1/8oz, w/ the orange or yellow dotted blade. After those two, it's a toss up between a Blue Fox Vibrax or a Panther Martin.

My favorite trout spinner would be wordens 1/16 oz black w/red hooks,I always bend the blade a little bit to slow down my retrieve and it goes a lot slower than w/out bending the blades.Steel wool is a must when owning spinners,shinging up the blades like new will increase hookups!:money:
