TROUT Fishing with $1 Walmart Spinners (SURPRISING!)

[@EKEACRES]

I'm 50 years old and have Trout Fished my whole life, including Fly Fishing. I have tied Flies and made Trout Spinners for years, and what the younger fisherman don't know yet, is...Trout will hit just about anything. I make spinners even out of Walmart beads for the body, and slam Trout all day long. You don't need expensive gear to be successful.

[@FishHawk]

True that!

[@shaneneedles2118]

Went fishing one time expecting to dig a worm or catch a grasshopper and... Nothing, anywhere, so I picked a dandelion flower, put it on a hook and caught a nice trout my first cast!

[@Fox1nDen]

so true. one bead at the top of the hook followed by string tied in knots to mimic a fly have caught lots of fish for me, from pan fish to PB blue catfish. why huge fish go for tiny flies I could not explain.

[@Fox1nDen]

@Lucas Oats yeah, you're right. I have seen fish of all sizes pounce on a moth that hits too close to the water... that is why fish hang out under shrubs and trees. Flies fall off them all the time.

[@leechurchill1965]

(and you don't need a flyrod)🤫

[@MrGeroth]

Your one of three fishing pages that I watch. You all three catch fish and are very down to earth on your presentation. Thanks for sharing.

[@FishHawk]

thank you! :)

[@RodNHandFishing]

Very true! I recently started making videos myself if you wouldn’t mind checking them out and give me some feedback? Thanks man!

[@cfetzeck]

I love everything about this. $1 Walmart spinners have given me some of my best bass and trout days. I preach the $1 spinner! Lol

[@FishHawk]

That’s awesome!

[@smileyct1850]

Gotta LOVE trout fishing areas like this with a spinner. Any rooster tail, or salmon eggs will never let you down

[@FishHawk]

true that! :)

On my way to Walmart...got to go.

[@FishHawk]

get them before they're all gone lol

[@drewbaglin1632]

Just got there. Got a 5 pack of ozark creek spinners.

I just lost my black bladed rooster tail. now all i can do is watch your videos. Great video as always

oh noooooo :( Thanks for watching!

We rested with our families in the USA, bought one Blue Fox spoon in Walmart, well, just for the sake of a souvenir from an American supermarket 😀, and so I caught two Coho salmon with this spoon. Although most have a full bag of baits from a fishing store 😆. Cool.

[@PotatoGobbler_]

Loved the video Fish Hawk! Just curious why you use the barrel swivel? Is it just for more weight or does it keep your line from twisting up?

[@FishHawk]

thank you! Keeps the line from twisting and creating knots

[@chrisrobillard7515]

I had forgotten about this tip

Great fishing Fish Hawk. I watch your videos while I'm out at work and cant go fishing. Really helps when I cant get out on the river. Thanks a bunch man!

[@timothythompson6549]

Something that is done with big inline muskie spinners is to bend the shaft right behind the line tie at a 30-40° angleto prevent rolling. Haven't tried it with small spinners before.

[@oboyfishing]

I've watched like all of your videos they are so good I hope I can get to your level some day.

[@davidstock5279]

Just curious - when they stock rivers, how do the trout spread out throughout the whole river? Usually there are so many rocks dividing the river....

[@joenewmeyer7711]

Hope for high water. Especially after the first stocking. Walk through the stock ares. That will spread them out for later season fishing

[@Iquitforever123]

I love your videos you catch a lot of trout big mouth bass and Smallmouth Dash you make the best fishing videos😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@bullishbeartrader6121]

I was thinking why I love your intro music and I realized it's cause it has that Atmosphere sound...

[@FishHawk]

Appreciate it :)

[@dumass5729]

That intro though. The setting of the hook synchronized to the rhythm of the music. Gold

[@stanislavctvrty9699]

@@FishHawk where you fish?

[@tombeyer375]

That bow, at about 9 minutes, appeared to be older or scarred, due to the maks on its back, just rear of the gills. The last two browns were astonishingly beautiful!! Lastly, I was bummin', when you were in Walmart, and didn't snatch a couple colors of Panther Martins, while you were there (I've been successly using Panthers for years)!! Thanks for the great videos!!

[@DyslexicTurtle]

I've used these lures for a bunch of different species, they actually work really well. The only problem is they don't last very long, something happens with the swivel near the top that prevents good spinning action, or they get bent so badly they simply don't work anymore.

[@jamolljamoll2937]

Creek fishing adventures gave you a shoutout...pretty cool...WV!!!

[@georgeball1147]

i just watched that one and hear it.

This was the best video that you have shown ! Your underwater shots are awesome ! Those fish are gorgeous !!

I've used these also. The blades don't spin as consistently as Rooster Tails but they will catch fish. Great vid!

True! Thank you!

[@roberthaibi2304]

Fish don't know how much tackle costs. I love the cheap stuff good job demonstrating that. Nice camera work.

I would have never thought yellow spinner would outperform the black spinner.

Me either. I was surprised

Then you would be surprised if you ever try chartreuse. It works just as good if not better than white!

Nice video . Beautiful fish .

[@jimmansi1187]

Nice catches Hawk, with twins in college I’m a budget fisherman & have been using these spinners & other Walmart lures for yrs. & I really like them & don’t get mad when I get snagged & lose one cause their so inexpensive. The hooks aren’t super sharp but they do work, awesome vid!

[@rbrooke2379]

Cheap is the way to go! Kind of dread my twins in college in a few years.

[@FishHawk]

Nuttin wrong with that! The fish don’t care how much it costs lol

[@dragonfly3816]

Spinner baits are the best. I've used them for years. I prefer rooster tails but the Walmart ran isn't too bad, though sometimes they don't spin. Bass love them, I've also caught a few large bluegill and occasionally channel cats.

[@garybond3663]

Nice day, nice video.

FishHawk does it again -- outstanding! Would have loved to see some brookies mixed in there but what a beautiful display of species! Have you ever tried a Thomas E.P Spinn 1/5oz in gold? Those things absolutely crush trout as well

[@FishHawk]

Thanks! I don't think there are any brookies in this stream. I haven't tried it, maybe I will :)

[@RickMarshallMaps]

Thanks for another great video. That’s a lot of fun for a buck

[@scotteger6271]

I’ve been digging the Shimano stuff. I’ve used their products a lot with mountain biking (brakes and pedals) but new to their fishing equipment. Quick question…your barrel swivel, is it about a foot above your lure? Hard to tell on camera, thanks!

[@enduringpatriot]

I picked up the exact same spinners the other day at local Walmart here $0.96 each. Will definitely have to give them a try now!

[@RobinhoPesca]

Good vídeo my brother, have a nice weekend,

[@FishHawk]

Thanks bro! You too!

[@Fox1nDen]

just bought three of them, black, chartreuse, and pink orange. I already had a white one. rivers here were made barren in severe drought last year and herons have been feeding heavily on them this year so even pan fish are hard to find even though the river was flooded early this spring.

[@Gavinsaucier2717]

I really like the intro music

[@FishHawk]

Thanks!

I'm 100% sure you've the Eastern panhandle. I recognize alot the background in your videos and the walmart you stopped at lol. Just got in to trout fishing this year. I'm usually just a bass guy but I'm loving it this year. Saw my first Goldie today in the opequon

[@ethanswenson7394]

@Fish Hawk, you should do a video with the $2 ozark trail/walmart jerk baits. I just moved away from a lot of trout fishing but saw them and wished I had them before I moved!

[@FishHawk]

I bought a couple for smallmouth. They’re pretty awesome little lures for $2

hell yeah, i'm gonna go stock up on em, thank you Fish Hawk

good luck! :)

Saw these today and almost grabbed a few! Wish I would have!

[@GrayJediJ_gaming]

Hey, I’ll always try a bargain. My spinner section is stuffed with their lures. They can be finicky, but if you get the right speed, the action is nearly as good as a RT.

[@timfisher1376]

Thats almost all I use creek fishing for smallmouth bass but I have caught blue gill,rock bass,and large mouth bass..i havnt tried the Walmart spinners for trout yet .. love your videos bro!!👍👍👍👍

Keep the videos coming!!

Been out catching shad in my local rivers. So much fun.

[@DragonAlchemist0]

@@FishHawk really good fighters. Expect some good jumps. Usually best time to catch them is around late sep early oct in the north east. But beware snapper blues will be around and you not get a shade til they move out. Best to use grub tails, and some soft plastic crappie lures that baitfish immitations.

[@DragonAlchemist0]

And you may get some small striped bass too. So you could get a some bent hooks.

[@skunkhead2007]

hev caught atlantic salmon here in the [UK] back in the early 80s on woolworths rods reels line and hooks-that first lure dude looks like a flying C deadly for salmon and sea trout (S.TRUTTA)

[@bradrtorgersen_videos]

Contrary to the expectation of many, lure fishing does *not* have to be expensive. You can get a $25 trout rod-and-reel, half a dozen $1 small spoons or spinners, and $2.99 spool of line, plus perhaps $5 in snaps and/or swivels, then $8 for a pair of pliers w/ small scissors from the grocery, and catch yourself a mess of quality rainbows, cutthroats, smallies, crappies, white bass, et al. The reel won't be the smoothest-turning you've ever experienced, but if you're on a budget it doesn't have to be. Back in 2016 (as an experiment) I built a little trout set-up for under $50 and landed a whole bunch of early-winter rainbows during multiple visits at my favorite local reservoir.
