Davidp16 Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Hello everyone, I just got back from a fishing sale today, and I bought a mystery tackle box, and included in this was these?? I've fished my whole life and never seen these or am sure what they are used for if someone could help me thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Throw them in the garbage. I’ve seen them on worm harnesses I believe. smerchly, boogaloo and Lukefish99 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Top water 'attractors' for bass or skis ? They are plastic with a hole through them ? Just add a big treble . I have never seen those things anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steellee Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 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! boogaloo, Tyler0420, toaster and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toaster Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 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. steellee, Tyler0420 and dave524 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deetch Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Correct Dave, no line twist boogaloo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port_D_Guy Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Maybe more so in a bottom bouncing situation they will. MAYBE from a boat where the drift is controlled it can be better. That's why I don't use them. Even with good swivels it won't help if it tangles/twists upon itself during the drift. Could be the wings, could from not true center lined? I notice this with corkies and streamers as well. Just worse with winged corkies. boogaloo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogaloo Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Used them many times in the lower Niagara. Caught mostly Lakers with them. I also made my own from cork and plastic I cut from a bleach bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deetch Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Do need pin it, it needs to spin. You use it like a corky. Tyler0420 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pin, I drill a hole through the cork and glue in a piece of tubing from a spray can. As long as they can spin freely it won't twist yer line.............Daniel Tyler0420 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
