Spin and glow were originally a west coast steelhead / salmon thing in the late 80's, early 90's or so along the time corkies came around and way before beads became popular. They would trail them with yarn or roe or shrimp. They fish alot differently out there than us, and some really fast, shallow runs we would never really try around here. Fish out there seem to grab anything that gets there attention as they don't have any time to inspect so these probably took their share of fish. I remember trying them in the lower river a few times back than and never got a fish....All that said they should probably be relegated to the bottom of your tackle box where they'll never be seen again!

I used the small ones for walleye on bay of quinte instead of harness blades.  Worked just fine for me.
 
Bigger ones are good for lake trout behind cowbells.

I've picked them off floatfishing with bigger than usual bags tied in chartreuse mesh and a glow corky or bead pegged right at the hook. Bigger hooks are fine at night as fish obviously won't see them. Floats that accommodate glow sticks are a must if my plan is to night fish browns

Roe with uv corkies

Tubes fished off a drop shot rig can be deadly too if you had a heavy enough dropper weight. I fish them that style for both bass and Lakers in the currents of Niagara River. Also snags up less on snaggy, rocky areas like lower river

Take some from Lake Erie !

The queenston launched has been paved and looks fantastic.  Nice not tracking mud through the boat when tearing down.  We will see how it holds up this winter.

Port Stanley up where I am has same system. Free to launch but app based system to park in public lot. I just pay my $140 honk app fee each season and never think about it again.(Very reasonable for the amount I walleye fish last few summers) Launch prices are getting ridiculous and combined with gas, boat and gear prices it adds up fast

I was thinking it was last Saturday in April not 4th the way things landed this year. Around noon figured it out and grabbed my float rod and headed out into the pouring rain.Hit up a small Erie trib close by with a modest run of steelhead. Nice only seeing 2 others in the couple hours I fished before getting pretty much rained out. Never thought much of them but the Berkley 3"pink worms with a bead have been hot for me going back to last spring and were bait of choice today

I find it best just lightly hooked through the fat section on a small sac hook so kind of in between. Than I can switch between baits easily as well. One from past trip this year you can see in photo kind of... A lot throw the plastics during fight as I hook it so lightly.

They let 90 adult Atlantic salmon go this afternoon at the launch.

All really spot on advice in above posts. Proper shot pattern like said above is critical for cast distance although sometimes a bulk shot is needed to get down in fast currents quickly which usually is a compromise with casting. As for line Fireline crystal is hands down the best float line I have ever used and I keep it on at least one of my centerpins and a few spin reels at all times. For mono Suffix Seige 10 lb is about the best float line I have used

We used to hit the crayfish pond on the way in catch 60 or so softshells in short time. Fish the power canals all morning watching the time and be back for 3 when you could start walking out to the point as the giant smallies started their migration for the night back to the deep side as the dropped. And ya spring time had lots of landlocked rainbows around the entire edge. The power canals were a system in themselves with tonnes of bows even through summer and bass although you literally never knew what you had as there wasnt too many species we didnt catch at some point. You could vertically jig cleos, crocs and williams off the walls with constant action. When we did get a big one we had a custom made drop net with rubber mesh on a mountain bike rim that we would leave in the bushes. Only fish we couldnt get up was a musky I got 1 time that must have went close to 50 pounds, just couldnt get that guy to fold in lol. Still have lots of cool fish pics from that area in the days of disposable cameras. I moved away from Niagara now and often miss it than think most of what I miss doesn't really exist anymore...
