10 Best TROUT FISHING Spinners & HOW TO Fish Them

[@chops5787]

You have a great ability to explain your process to the beginner as well as the pro.

[@desocratic]

Would've liked to see a Joe's Flies spinner in there, too.

[@lagginswag]

Those and jerries are my fav for slow moving creeks. Teeny wee craw too.

[@Matt-wl3em]

I like those or an all silver Blue fox in size 0

[@RyderLost]

Same

[@oflofl7177]

YES ALL JOES FLIES ARE AMAZING

[@eugenegress5896]

I have seen those in Various Stores; never Tried one.

[@YNPBORN]

I’m sitting here on the bank of the Rogue, drinking wine ,waiting my turn to go out on the boat salmon fishing in a few days. Jordan, watching your videos gives me that adrenaline rush of actually fishing those streams. Love these videos!!!

[@CompulsiveLegoBuyer]

Yes! Love all of the catch and cook series from various survival and fishing KZbin pages, but it’s the tutorials that I wish there were more of! Definitely subscribing after seeing this one; I love the energy you have and willingness to explain things in a way that makes it easy for beginners to understand that doesn’t make it feel as confusing; understanding the fish mentality as well as the functions of the various lures is so huge and I appreciate you explaining them in more detail !

[@Pandakid13]

Fished with spinners for the first time after being gifted a bunch of them last week. Might be my new favorite way to fish with conventional gear. Even the nibbles were exciting and I pulled in a pound and a half bass on the smallest one! Still looking for trout in central Mn but I will report back with the results

[@nicklebac6753]

Where I am In montana I’m always catching trout on the mepps aglia

[@aaronready1]

In central Minnesota , Brainerd area. Started using Mepps spinners this summer after watching Jordan. The number 4 AGLIA ABSOLUTELY DOMINATED this summer. Caught Pike, Crappie, Bass, Whitefish, Sunfish. Never failed.

[@garysavala665]

Mepps are awesome they make every style .

[@Beesa10]

Fishing spinners is a simple yet really exciting method, I like how they can be retrieved quite slowly, the flashing blur plus the vibrating action seems irresistible to many species.

[@s.dot.23]

I’ve been fishing all year, yesterday I binged watched this channel for hours and this morning I caught my first fish ever and it was a good size too. That plus about 3-4 bites

[@robertbeveridge8135]

These kind of tutorials is why I fell in love with this channel!

[@Stekman101]

Stumbled across this channel while looking for some trout stuff. This dude totally seems like the kind of guy you want to sit down with, enjoy a beer, and just talk fishing. Got my sub.

[@juanreese]

I do very much appreciate your videos. I have not fished in 30 years. I’m looking forward to finishing this next week. Bought a pedal kayak and got all my old gear out put new fishing line on my very old reels ,bought some new jigs. Can’t wait to go fishing.Keep up the good work.

[@michaelwright956]

Kayak fishing is awesome! I have the pedal drive Perception Pescador Pilot 12.0. So much fun and easy to fish small water. I hope you’re enjoying yourself getting back into the hobby.

[@leebarnes393]

If fishing is slow 😜, I have 2 favorite lures, well ok 4, 3/8 oz. Copper and silver kastmaster and the same in a daredevil!! Add split shot if you have to!! Seems to work well in summer waters 😊!!

[@coloradocatchcleanandcook3426]

Blue Fox is hands down my favorite lure. Caught one of my PB best rainbows today on a silver Blue Fox. I have been fishing this same river sense I was 11 years old you just never know when I giant is going to smack your lure.

[@masterp2269]

Agreed. They are amazing! I've caught some catfish on them too

[@richardcline5448]

never thought of using braid for trout always used fluro ,using the braid has been a game changer for me .Thanks another great tutorial on spinners for trout.

[@danielhauck6595]

Spinner fishing for trout is 🔥. Could not agree more that the three first casts are the most important and to always be prepared for a fish to strike. Recently was out on the river fishing, there was this one section, a deep boily turbid eddy, with not a whole lot of fishable water. So before I went and fished the more likely water downstream, I casted my spinner (a 1/8 oz. rainbow rooster tail) up into the eddy and let the current work it into this deep seam in the eddy. First cast, bam, fish on! A nice big 14 1/2 inch rainbow. Anyway, it just reminded me to always fish every single little spot, because moments like the one I experienced are what we all fish for.

[@danielhauck6595]

I though we had seen the last of this scammer.

[@martinschulz9381]

My wife and I are going to get off the boat for the first time and do some river fishing here this summer. I haven't river fished since I was a boy so here I am. I used a lot of spinners and spoons back then ,but for trout old fashioned worms usually worked the best. Unfortunately many places have since outlawed live bait. Good video.

[@qotyit1655]

The Mepps with the fish is my favorite spinner, helped me hook up on many species of fish 🤙🏽....new subscriber, cool videos!

[@de4ndre3dwards]

ive never had luck with that one. maybe ill have to give it another shot!!!!

[@garysavala665]

Mepps comet are my favorite bass lure in number two I would like a smaller one to try out .

[@brucekuest2110]

Thanks! I have several of those spinners. Keep dropping videos, I am learning some great tips

[@philabowl8073]

Awesome, an 1/2 hour fishing video we're 20 minutes of it isn't a catch and cook!! I don't mind the occasional catch and cook but I really like this Fishing channel...

[@Imwatcher17]

So far best fisherman that explains and shows every detail how to and how to not !, excellent contents, keep it up !

[@jakedavid8187]

Used some Thomas spinners and panther martains this weekend. Both in a kind of blue/silver trout color. The Thomas only caught one. The panther got about 6-7 Brooke trout. Thanks for the motivation!!! Come fish in wyoming il take ya in the oldest fishing boat you've ever fished haha

[@Tsnow799]

I really appreciate the way you articulate the reasoning behind your method and lires to use it's helped me to understand everything a lot better and I'll be using this in the future for sure!

[@HappyKatsFishing]

This was awesome. Helps to learn where to look for fish in the river. Thank you.

[@alexanderlinke4464]

Video was excellent! Thanks brew. Also - another good tip for spinners I learned is to match the colour of the spinner to the colour of the fish you're targeting. Best method I've found for using the right colour of spinner.

[@sannekjer2820]

The only gripe I have with this reel is the weight, but that goes with the size of the reel kzbin.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I brought this salmon fishing up in Oswego, NY. I coupled it with a Cabela's Whuppin Stick. I had no problem pulling in a 14lb salmon. I will probably use this for surf fishing this summer and downgrade to a 3500 series Battle II next salmon season to save my wrists. All of the operations are butter smooth and the bail is nice and thick and has a solid flip to it. Everything about this reel is sturdy and strong. The drag system held up to the salmon and was also super smooth. I did use a scale to set the drag properly before going out to the river and this worked out tremendously. A bunch of other guys on the river would hook up and snap almost immediately. Just because you have a good drag system doesn't do anything if you don't set it correctly.

[@rangeandravine]

I love Okuma! I have the Okuma Celilo rod, and the Ceymar C-40 reel and I love them. Never had any problems with either of them. I have an Okuma fly rod but am not sure how impressed I am with it. My son has an Okuma fly reel and that definitely doesn't compare to many other reels, but as far as a spinning set up, amazing. I went with that line up all because of these videos with Jordan.

[@elcucuyferguson8405]

Nice video as always jordan! As a trout angler from sweden i would love to see a faceoff between swedish and american spoons/spinners. Leeets go! :D

[@Shootersonly801]

Just got back into fishing after my 6 year gov funded vacation to a desert lol and these videos helped me go from getting skunked to slamming em. Haven't had this much success consistently ever all thanks to your advice I mainly stream fish trout in Utah. Thanks bro..

[@private2371]

Corcoran eh ?😂

[@Shootersonly801]

@@private2371 a little place called 29 Palms I was a marine respect to all the boys holding it down in lockup though! Life's hard keep it pushing!!

[@creativeexperience6388]

Hands down my favorite fishing channel

[@patrickgaffney5954]

Just bought a 7ft SST with a C-30 Ceymar reel. Love it so far! Appreciate the recommendation Jordan!!

[@kylesalmon31]

Exactly what I bought today

[@SledorFish]

One of my favorite spinners in the summer was a Mepps or Blue Fox #1 & #2 with a plain brass blade and body. If it is old and tarnished even better.

[@doctordrommos6432]

I must be lucky, I got one in my box rn! I fish a lake though

[@JoeDeLuise]

I ditched spinners when I discovered yo zuri pins minnows..... Never looked back. Love the content, keep up the good work!

[@justinchan2453]

Another awesome vid Jordan! I was curious to know how you keep line twist out of your line when using a long leader like that and no swivel.

[@jamesjennings4900]

It would be awesome if you did more video about how to read water to find holding areas for fish during different river conditions, time of day, and seasonal weather. Thanks Jordan

[@MickeyCool-c3e]

Bro Jordan looks so immaculate in this video. It’s crazy at the beginning with the sunlight shining off his face in the shade.

[@CamAteUrKFC]

Up here in Northern BC, I find the Vibrax spinner with a red spoon and gold bell work like a charm. Another good one is just a simple gold spoon with a red/orange stripe and a minnow jigged to the hook, Works really well for bull trout.

[@Beesa10]

I've been using 3/8oz Martin spinners, they work well for medium-fast water. I cut off the stock treble and replace with a split ring so I can attach fresh hooks of my choice.

[@michaelwright956]

That last spinning lure that you used was a Mepps Comet. It absolutely slays in central NY trout streams. Especially the 0 and 1 sizes. The size 2 spinners and up are more for bass and walleye. The panther martin, mepps comet, roster tail, and kastmaster spoon are the mainstays in a trout catching arsenal. Try refishing those pools with the comet on. If they aren’t committing to the bite; down size the lure…

[@stanstevenson631]

Luv the rooster tail in yellow for trout, pm for trout as well and definitely the blue fox and in vibrax for steelhead, but would also rate highly gold and silver smaller cast masters...great video tho

[@ronpoppe6517]

i been watching a few of the fishing vidieos on you tub and found that yours are very useful i am a begginer and cought two rainbow trout watching yours thanks keep up what you do

[@TCB77]

Holy spinner Jordan! Had me sitting on the edge of my seat, audibly exclaiming. Love spinner fishing! S/O Blue fox, Mepps, Wedding Band, Lucky Strike etc Bet jigs under floats would’ve slayed tho.

[@NeonKue]

Blue Fox #3 hands down. Perfect size and vibrating blade you can feel plus it spins more consistent in any water condition.

[@JohnJames.]

I thought so too, until I used a size 0 on a ultralight, can still feel it

[@jdyzy]

I've caught more trout and steelhead on a #3 Blue Fox than I have all other spinners and spoons combined.

[@LANsolo12]

The hype!!! Yes!!! When you hit that pocket and that fish hit!! You were amped.. lol

[@temonhaynes6344]

When them trout clam up I use good ol rapala black and gold... Some reason works well... Size the three inch one cranked in like a spinner

[@CandidZulu]

Best fishing channel on YT!

[@Acribus1]

You guys should team up with leif again for a Backcountry camping trip for trout.

[@Xbolt1969]

Awesome. What is your pick for a good trout rod

[@jeffwerth2707]

bright flashy spinners and sunny days don't go well unless its windy to put a chop on the water. Black spinners may work in that case - Panther Martin especially since it has a tighter spin vs. a Blue Fox. That is where roostertails rule - they come in bright and subdued colors. Always fun to chuck and wind - the fish do get used to them were bites in the mouth turn to hooked outside the mouth due to them slapping at it. Those turn to follows in close where they think they want it but something is "off". Then gone. Where as Jordan mentioned, switching colors or spinner types helps - give them something different. Tie on a decent snap swivel - give a lure 10 to 20 casts and switch

[@ndj6424]

Haha, glad to see the Buds spinners getting some play. Those were my go-to growing up simply because you could get two of those for the price of a rooster tail and two lures is always better than one!

[@MichaelRomero]

Awesome I miss these kinds of videos tutorials and techniques.👏🏼

[@williamshanks6397]

Big trout swim up stream so i walk down stream as far as i can and fish up stream , if you think about it these big browns are predators and will sit in the calmer water in a pool , lets say behind a big boulder because swimming up stream is a constant and the calm water behind a boulder or log or whatever interrupts the current enough to sit and ambush smaller bait fish , so cast up stream and reel just enough to set you spinner in motion and let the current carry your spinner into deep hidden spots where big browns sit in calmer water to ambush smaller bait fish....i fish the Tomahawk fishing reserve on the south platte in Colorado off hiway 9 between Hartsel and Breckenrigde and its a catch and release , but ive done pretty well doing this , my last trip i landed 3 browns over 20in and one huge ugly salmon it was huge big ugly hook jaw ...anyway i plan on taking a go pro next time

[@stanchlemon4769]

Panthers work best for me lately but all the spinners I've tried work.

[@richbarengo]

Awesome video as always ! 🤙🍻

[@vindice5849]

When you finally got into some fish I was screaming use the panther martin!

[@mrjuse5470]

I almost strictly use Panthers with a split shot 12-16 inches away from the lure for rivers and creeks because they are the easiest to control and fish slam em.

[@nicklebac6753]

I’m early 😎 I swear by the mepps! I catch a fish every time I use one of these trout fishing here in montana, i catch whitefish with it as well!

[@JohnJames.]

Yeah , my box is full of them, I use to only trust the dressed hooks , but they all just work

[@ryant169]

i love spinners. i wasn't having much luck jigging so i switched to a panther martin and nabbed a bunch of white bass. switched up to a rooster tail and hooked huge sheepshead. they can catch anything.

[@richardcline5448]

Awesome Video !! as always i just received the trout floats cant wait to use those things !!

[@2jzfox...]

My favorite spinner is a small copper spinner Martin. Never lets me down

[@jonathonledward1525]

Another great Tuesday because of you guys! 👍

[@nathanroberts5731]

If you have roostertails and panther martins you can fish most any water between the 2. The best part about roostertails is the color selections. Sometimes it has as much to do with the color than anything in my experience. One of my favorite colors during the summertime is the bumblebee with a gold blade for Brook Trout and Brown Trout. I feel the rainbows generally like either black or white spinners with silver blades the most. I do feel the blade color plays more of a part with the likelyhood of catching certain species.

[@dkpow3349]

You got me back into fishing , thanks Jordan !

[@articgrayling1300]

Stellar episode Jordan. My best luck is on panther martins, in rivers and lakes, have “yet” to catch anything on a rooster tail. Have you ever tried a larger blade on smaller bodies? Due to my stupidity in ordering online parts I ended up making a few spinners with that combination and they work! Waiting to see Jordan come out with his own spinner’s - with Knigge’ esk names and colours.

[@the406_life9]

Red and white Mepps is a really great addition to the tackle works great in are Montana creeks

[@mattmaru9108]

You put in A LOT of work. Great job!

[@conk8636]

Had a few spinners in my younger years.. One even helped me catch 🦀s..

[@nathanroberts5731]

Was fishing a black rooster tail with a silver blade the other day. Hooked into a 21 inch rainbow. Handed the rod over to my 5 year old son to reel it in. I had to climb down a 6ft. rock face to net it. My son was going nuts, the fish took a couple good runs tearing drag on him lol. He was used to reeling in 10-13 inch trout lol.

[@jamesblair7549]

North Fork Lures has been producing some great spinners for steelhead/Trout

[@MrRdb916]

[@staceyhartman6825]

Luv any fishing video where they've got their dog with em! My terrier loved FRIED fish, but not trout sushi😅

[@thomaswalsh7154]

Most spinners have a time and place where they work best. Discussing only the big brands. Panter Martins, work well in bigger faster water. Blue Fox, also work well in bigger faster waters but is louder. Mepps Agilia works well in shallower water and at slower more precise retrieves. Joe Flies with their colorado spoon is best when very slow retrieves are required. Roostertails are good when you need a fast retrieve, but forgotten any Panther martins or blue foxes.

[@brettoetting]

These are great and I use them for multi-species: Mepps Spin Fly and Eco Pro tungsten in-line spinner

[@computersatan]

Dude Great content. Good tips on flies off a spinning rod and float from a previous video. I have been hooking em in the bubbles. Now i just gotta figure out how to get em out the current and in the net. This video with the spinners near the rocks , great for the upper Deschutes river Bend Oregon. Fighters .... fighters fighters. I'm new to actual fishing beyond hook and worm. Late last night and early tomorrow morning ..... Must be addicted. Great content ... I hope you have a video on fighting the trout out of the rocks and current to the shore as they are going upstream and holding by rocks.

[@teaberrywmn]

Will you cover using a cast master lure? I've learned so much just by watching a few of your trout fishing tutorials and feel more confident than ever to get out there and catch.

[@timothytrotter1865]

My go to is a all gold panther martin, thing just slays em.. I get trout, bass, crappie, & bluegills on them depending on where I’m at..

[@brettdixon1592]

Hey have you guys ever thought about trying the South bend ready to fish real and rod combos? They also give you gear that comes with the rod and reels as far as lures weights and all that kind of stuff. They have different types of rod and reel series, they have a trout, salmon, bass and a all species series.

[@alex111683]

The best trout spinner? It's the one you're most confident with. For me above and beyond for trout is a #4-#6 panther Martin. Either black body yellow dots with gold blade or neon green black dots with silver blade.

[@guaravsamant5239]

Nice video. might might I suggests a quick release snap ring, instead of retrying and losing leader every time you change lures.

[@MTB4RNR]

Haven’t had luck in rivers but in ponds/reservoirs/lakes i’ve had solid luck catching rainbows with brown trout kastmasters.

[@stevef8065]

[@lagginswag]

Chartreuse rooster tail, brass old school mepps aglia # 0-2 for me, or Joe's/Jerry's fly spinners in slow spots. 💪💯

[@RandyWelsh-p7z]

I've enjoyed your videos and this one shows some growth over the one 4 years ago deciding whether the Rooster tail or the Panther Martin was your favorite. There is no favorite.....they do different things in the water column and you choose the most suitable for the conditions at hand to present first. The Panther Martin IMO has the most loft and would be my first choice in skinny, slow water. The Rooster tail would be my first choice in faster, deeper water that would pull the panther Martin right to the top and for real deep, fast water I will go to a Krockodile spoon first. Not to be critical or tell you how to fish but the exercise begins with "reading the water" then choosing your presentation. You have the audience not me but how about approaching a pool "from below" so they aren't all watching what you're doing, explaining to your audience what you hope to accomplish, choosing the lure you think will do that and why? With so many other variables involved (water temp., sun position, water color, lure color, forage/hatch, educated fish, etc.) let's get the brand recognition out of it hmmm? That 10 lure lineup might in fact be a good selection in the steelhead streams you usually fish but if you were fishing an unknown trout stream a Krockodile, PM, RT, Mepps and a Super Duper would serve a fisherman looking to improve his skill better.

[@G.G502]

Forever and always loyal to the FG knot. Love the vids man.

[@SlayermikeFishingandMORE]

All those spinners are nice ones but I make the best ones myself! I cant afford not to make my own nowadays🤔 GOOD VIDEO!

[@appalachianwilds1146]

Jordan my guy!!!! I'd like to see you try a spinner called Joe's flies. it's a spinner with usually a little marabou or hackle tail I'd say. work really well here in Northwestern Pennsylvania. love the content. keep it up. been watching your videos non stop for the past two weeks

[@wilsonflanders878]

Rnb lures and steelhead lure company and north fork lures makes the best spinners by far

[@MrR123123]

Hey is it a good idea to use snap swivels to quickly change spinners? Or does it mess up the presentation?

[@jamiea291]

can you give us your take on swivels? Feel like it speeds up the lure switching process but wanted to know if you think it impacts the lures effectiveness?

[@collinmc90]

Well seeing you struggle to land one makes feel some what better about getting skunked the last couple times I went out haha. Same story on my end. I had one of the biggest trouts I have ever seen chasing my lures in, he was coming out of a submerged stump in the lake and would just go right back in.
