Steelhead Fishing Setup: How to catch Steelhead Plunking with Spin N Glos!

[@dwightstewart7181]

Interesting. So they're basically just bobber floats with slits cut into them and wings glued into those slits. I have floats in various shapes & colors (variety) and can easily cut the wings myself.

[@FTWQ]

Yep that is basically what they are!

[@FTWQ]

Here is a link of them on Amazon if you wanted to see it more. amzn.to/3bsBaCD 🎣🎣🎣

[@dwightstewart7181]

@@FTWQ .. I like making my own lures, so might make a couple just to see what they'll do. Hell, sitting at home, haven't got much else to do right now.

[@FTWQ]

Hahaha yes that's awesome! Might as well, while we are all stuck at home lol! Let me know how it turns out!!

[@bwiles12]

Awsome, thanks.

[@FTWQ]

No problem!

[@realhardballify]

can you use a needle heat it and make the spin and glo hole off center if its centered???

[@Bretmatic]

How long do you run your line going from your 3way swivel down to your weight??

[@FTWQ]

I go for about 6 inches up to a foot.

[@phollomon999]

Is the actual spinning glow weighted?

[@FTWQ]

Not weighted, these actually are buoyant and will help float the presentation.

[@zainshilling]

Could you use minnows like shiners

[@budtaz11]

hey. how do that line tie with eye hook.. and not clear to see .. please show me more clear that way i can see it please..thanks

[@artc1688]

why do you want to make the sure yarn does not cover the hook? will that interfere with the hook-up? i figure it will hide a hook thx.

[@FTWQ]

The primary worry with it being too long is hook interference. There has been times when I reel in my setup to see the yarn cover and almost "tangled" around the hook point. I personally don't feel confident when seeing this, so thats why I like to have it shorter. Hope this helps!

[@officialtyrssontv2671]

I just subed btw I caught a 10 pound steely with a sand striped on the hook so thanks

[@zainshilling]

What bait would be good to go on it for steelhead

[@zainshilling]

FishThatWontQuit what about minnows like shiners

[@zainshilling]

FishThatWontQuit do you just let it sit 8n a rod holder when you plunk

[@FTWQ]

Zain Shillingvlogs I personally have never used minnows or shiners, But If I was you, I would give it a try.

[@FTWQ]

Zain Shillingvlogs Yep Yep, rod holders when Plunking. Bring a collapsible chair, and place a bell on the rod. And just sit and soak it all in lol

[@zainshilling]

FishThatWontQuit can you use spawn or salmon roe in it at this time of year

[@johncollins7806]

Can this rig be used effectively in swift current. i.e. deep swift river.

[@FTWQ]

The rig would definitely work in a swift current. The main issue would be to have enough lead weight to keep it from drifting down.

[@Fishnsurf]

would this work for winter steelhead?

[@FTWQ]

+dksk8life Yeah I would say it would work just fine, just need to find the right plunking water.

[@jongarrigus4600]

what size weight so you use when driffing

[@FTWQ]

+jon garrigus The weight will vary depending on the current you are fishing in. Your goal when drift fishing is to have the weight tap the bottom about 1 time per second on average.

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

can you just put a worm on it and will it catch Steelhead???

[@FTWQ]

+Troutaholic flo Adding a worm would be a fantastic idea. I haven't plunked with worms before, but I feel like it would definitely work. My main concerns would be the worm easily falling off due to high Current. Also, worms attract a lot of different species of fish; this may make you get more nibble bites. I think if you put a worm on consistently, you will definitely see that it can work.

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

Option 2 would be a rubber pink steelhead worm!

[@FTWQ]

+Troutaholic flo Yep yep, I don't see how you can go wrong with that setup! Probably will be killer.

[@timwhitcomb2383]

Do you use shrimp with this? scent? You didn't finish! ;)

[@FTWQ]

Haha Sorry Tim. I guess I left that part up to the imagination. Adding Shrimp, scent to the yarn, or Eggs are a great way to utilize that egg loop knot and allows you to change things up if the fish aren't biting. Thanks for reminding me ;- )

[@ericmoore431]

Yes scent works great on spin n glows. When they spin, it disperses the scent

[@ShotGuntomy]

Why do people use yarn?

[@FTWQ]

Mostly so that you can add scent to it and it holds on for longer period of time. Yarn also simulates eggs in the water. Also, it adds a bit of color.

[@maquinaseahawksgoonie5801]

ShotGun tommy i use yarn balls (make them myself) and yeah, simulate eggs and use of scent oil... great stuff

[@sgtslippyfist6345]

Yarn also hangs up in there teeth giving an extra second for hook set. At least for drift rigs
