My absolute favorite spinners right now are made by a company called Joe’s Flies out of West Virginia. I like their “ultimate wooley bugger” series. They are similar to a rooster tail but also have a small trailing treble hook. I’ve only used them trolling but they are absolutely deadly ☠️. I also like the Thomas Lures inline spinners. The Special, EP and Double Spin. I really wish you hadn’t mentioned that last bonus spinner.......because I don’t have any and now I’ll have to get some ad try it out 🤑
These Joe's Flies keep popping up on my radar but now that you've name dropped one I will likely have to order some! I have a few Thomas lure spoons which I like but I haven't used their spinners.. yet! Hey I only mentioned one bonus spinner, you mentioned TWO. Now I have to get some too $$$$$ haha Some people win the lottery and get addicted to drugs and expensive cars, I'd just have a warehouse full of fishing sh*t
Honestly THE best spinners are the ones you're most confident with. For me by far is a #4-#6 panther Martin gold blade black yellow dot body with the rainbow trout color a close second
The Rooster Tail spinner is my favorite as well. Either green with a gold spinners or pink, green & yellow with a gold spinner. I have literally caught 100s of trout with that exact same lure.
Great video! I've been using beetle spins for years in the 1/32 oz size for brown and brook trout. Also use the Johnson Min-O-Spin in 1/16 and 1/8 as well on the small streams I fish in Michigan. The Beetle Spins is far more weedless than a treble hook.
That's great! Beetle spin is such an underrated and unknow lure. Plus they're like one quarter the cost of more traditional lures! Never heard of the Johnson Min-O-Spin but I'll be googling it immediately haha
Brown rooster tail with a brass spinner blade slays!!! At least in southwest WA. Thanks for the video!! I can't wait for a top 5 trout spoon episode! C-L-E-O though, we already know.
Yeah the brown Rooster Tail definitely deserves to be in the discussion. I think, because I had the brass Vibrax and black and gold Panther Martin, it might have been redundant. You could easily swap those two back and forth on this list tho! Hard to narrow so many great spinners down to just five. We'll see what next year's list looks like! And yes.. spoons are coming... and your ability to predict the future is uncanny 😀
You're #1 is definitely my #1. There's a really cheap brand that makes the same color and it works very well. 99 cent Ready 2 Fish spinner. I buy a few whenever I see them at Walmart. I have on a rod right now. The blades are a little cheaper quality and the gold will chip off faster , but they work very well.
@@CascadeBackcountry Pure Fishing makes them I believe. They own many big names in fishing Penn , Plunger, Penn , Shakespeare, Abu....along with lures, line , Ready 2 Fish (R2F)
My #1 trout spinner is close to yours. The green rooster, I believe ‘frog’ is the actual color. Brass blade. I will have to grab a few of the rainbow trout! 🎣
Interesting choices considering the Super V's use a French Blade as in MEPPS which failed to make this list These are obviously big river and lake lues. A 1/4 oz is a big spinner for a stream.
I'm looking for instruction and technique videos. I have very little experience but a lot of drive. I've finished 16 hour days to get a good limit. I do concur with your picks.
Boy have I got news for you haha I actually use "Big River Bait" hooks from Gamakatsu. I usually use a size number 2 or 4 depending how big I think the fish might be where I'm fishing. Maybe I'll show ya sometime! :)
Oh man... yeah that is a fantastic spinner! Was that on my list? Haha I made that like a year ago. Can't remember. If it wasn't on the list it'd for sure be on an updated top 5 list!
Yes it was on the list..think you had it at # 4. Here in west Michigan # 2's and 3's in all gold are the only thing I even toss for trout. Iv never had much luck with the rooster tails.
When it comes to trout fishing and spinners, I will only use a rooster tail and a panther Martin and that's it. The main reason i only use these two because they come in the size i enjoy using, i will use a size 1/32 oz. or a 1/24 oz. I will not use any other spinners because they don't come in these two sizes. I hit Mass loads of trout with these two sizes. Great video and I enjoyed watching
Those are the best two spinners for sure. I use a bit bigger sizes than that but it definitely depends on what water you're fishing. Thanks for watching!
@@CascadeBackcountry I'd love to go oversea and catch the monsters !! Couldn't be dealing with the Karen's and Kyle's you got over their tho. they would be quickly sorted out with a thunderclap(slap)over here in wales .plus we don't have the worry of a gun being pulled on you over here lol.keep the vids coming and happy fishing
If you haven't painted the face of the blade black with white dots like a mepps blade and the black rooster body with the 3 dot pattern like Panther Martin only white instead of yellow....... Holy Moley you have to try it 😊
@@CascadeBackcountryi agree with you mepps would have never made my list until I used it. Its honestly the best spinner. Wont tell you my color combo but its by far the best. I've used everything else on your list and mepps is on top.
@CascadeBackcountry for some reason and I'm not really sure why but I don't really like roostertails. Must be a feel thing 🤷♂️ but it's always interesting to see what other people like to throw
Rooster tail for life! Haha Panther Martin is probably a close second or third for me though. A lot of people keep saying I gotta use Mepps but I've never been a huge fan
@CascadeBackcountry mepps seem to get snagged up more often than and panther martin or a blue fox. Maybe it's just me. But I do like the rainbow trout with the tail mepps.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!

100% agree with your Rooster Tail choice for #1. That's been my experience with it too here on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, lake fishing.
Great minds think alike! 😆
It's the rainbow roostertail. It's great and my favorite. Depending on what the water is like different colors may work better. I love it though.

Potomac coachman and the trout poacher are two from joes!😎🇺🇸👊
Absolutely

I agree! Sometimes you use a spinner so much you know the feel of it. Those Panther Martins you mentioned are great!
The Rooster Tail spinner is my favorite as well. Either green with a gold spinners or pink, green & yellow with a gold spinner. I have literally caught 100s of trout with that exact same lure.
I agree! If I could only have one lure, it'd be that rooster tail! It works everywhere for everything

Got ya a new subscriber. Very good description as to why they are your favorites. How about spoons? Sizes? Colors?
I see you found the spoons video haha thanks again!
You sound a tiny bit like Ray Romano 😁. Fun video. Good stuff.
Haha nice! Never heard that before. I have been told I look like Adam Sandler tho
Mepps are the highest quality it’s my confidence lure .
Use what's best for ya! I have had decent luck with Mepos
Same

Nice baits and movie reference. I like your content and am crazy jealous of your location. New subb from NJ.
Thanks! Yeah the PNW is a pretty awesome place. If you ever make it out here, try and hit up some mountain lakes!
@@CascadeBackcountry Its on the bucket list.

La "Veltic", et la Mepp Black "Furie" verry excellente spiners toi...!!!
A lot of Mepps fans around these parts 😁
Swear by blue fox spinners here in wales.perfect in the rivers
Definitely a great choice! You guys fishing for trout over there?
My #1 trout spinner is close to yours. The green rooster, I believe ‘frog’ is the actual color. Brass blade. I will have to grab a few of the rainbow trout! 🎣
Yeah I actually really like that green Rooster Tail. It works surprisingly well. Thanks for the watch and the comment!
Does your rainbow trout color pm and rooster tail work in all light conditions and water clarity?
For me, these spinners have worked well in all conditions!
Rooster tails are nice but I prefer the panther martin. Have had success with both in
PA. Stream fishing.
Panther Martin's are great... rooster tails for the win tho! Haha
Interesting choices considering the Super V's use a French Blade as in MEPPS which failed to make this list These are obviously big river and lake lues. A 1/4 oz is a big spinner for a stream.
Good call! I don't do any stream fishing. Pretty much only high lakes and the occasional river
The rainbow colored spinner is the #1 lure in my box
That's a great one!!
Awesome videoy favorite spinner is the CP Swing with gold beads and gold blade very efective
Thanks! I've seen those.. never actually used one tho. Maybe this summer I'll have to try one out!
I do well using a Johnson spinner for both trout and bass.
Right on!
I think the cast master needed to be included in there . I have caught a lot of trout on the brass and red
That might be one of my favorite kast master colors! I should update this video. It's a few years old
Been killing it with panther Martin Holo series in Washington.
Yeah man that whole lineup is pretty awesome! Glad to hear they're working for ya. Tight lines!
I personally use sonic rooter tail gold body silvery red
That's a great color combo!
I know! I used them on stocked trout today and caught like 8 or 9 fish!
Good video by the way.
Nice!
Thanks!!
Excellent. Thanks.
Thanks for watchin!!!
I haven't fished with Rooster tails since I was boy. I have to start up again.
Do it! Never grow up haha
I'm looking for instruction and technique videos. I have very little experience but a lot of drive. I've finished 16 hour days to get a good limit. I do concur with your picks.
I don't do too many instructional videos specifically BUT I often show/explain what I'm doing in my fishing videos
Awesome video! Keep up the good work, can’t wait to see more! Got me as a sub!
Thank you! Trying to release a video every Sunday.. tough to pull off but I'll send 'er haha
For a Blue Fox in Size 3 (1/4oz) and smaller, what make/model/size of siwash hook do you swap for the treble hook that comes out of the package?
Boy have I got news for you haha I actually use "Big River Bait" hooks from Gamakatsu. I usually use a size number 2 or 4 depending how big I think the fish might be where I'm fishing. Maybe I'll show ya sometime! :)
@@CascadeBackcountry lol sounds awesome! Do you buy barbless hooks or just pinch down the barbs?
I just pinch em. That way if I do wanna have a barb, I can. Best o both worlds!
Are the Panther Martin spinners size 9 or 6?
Great question! I use both! If I'm fishing bigger deeper water, I'll usually use a 9. If I'm fishing smaller mountain lakes, I prefer a 6
How did you remove the treble on the vibrax?
I use wire cutters then where the hook was attached I put a small key ring so I can attach whatever hook I want. Hope that helps
@@CascadeBackcountry 200IQ
@@paulwatkins2333 hell yeah! Haha
@@CascadeBackcountry those trebles are nasty !
Agreed! I've basically eliminated them altogether from my fishing gear
Cp swing, Thomas?
Great spinner!
Blue fox vibrax in all gold for me
Oh man... yeah that is a fantastic spinner! Was that on my list? Haha I made that like a year ago. Can't remember. If it wasn't on the list it'd for sure be on an updated top 5 list!

Gold blade you mean. I love rooster tails
Can't go wrong with a rooster tail 😀
Mepps?
Nnoooooooo haha. I gotta say, I'm not the biggest Mepps fan... BUT I haven't used one in about two years. Maybe time to revisit
@@CascadeBackcountry try a copper blade #2
I'll give er a shot!
He's a shill
Spinners are situational!
This is in fact... a fact 😆

👍👍
You like your bronze blades!
Hell yeah I do haha never realized till this comment but yeah.. a lot 9f my spinners have gold/bronze blades. Good call!
Mepps is the best
How dare you! Haha
Got to have a mepps
I get that a lot but I've just never been a big fan. Maybe I'll give em another shot
I still get no luck with those spinners or spoons. I must not be doing something right. 😮
Aw man! Maybe just bad luck? Or we're fishing completely different environments?
@@CascadeBackcountry New Mexico hatchery fish may take a while to figure out.🫣
@@Christophersanchez1326 you try power bait?

@@aronrhys4920 haha! There is definitely a Karen epidemic happening! Tight lines to ya :)
Yeah. Black rooster tail if you could have only one.
That is a great choice!
If you haven't painted the face of the blade black with white dots like a mepps blade and the black rooster body with the 3 dot pattern like Panther Martin only white instead of yellow....... Holy Moley you have to try it 😊
I'll put my toddler to work with her paint set 🤣😂
Y is Adam Sandler fishing
Haha yes! I am the outdoorsy version of Adam Sandler for sure 😂
Brass not bronze
Brass blade black body rooster tail is my favorite or a Joe's fly
Great choices! Love Joe's. Thanks for watchin!
Try painting the blade black on a black bodied rooster tail and size one vibrax!!!
@@Matt-wl3em I have been known to get into some arts and crafts haha
One was gold plated too.
Your kidding me, no meps on your list? You should know better.

Well, he lives in the northwest, not the upper midwest. Rooster tail is half the price of the various Mepps. Vibrax is my go to.
Black and yellow panther martin is way better than any rooster tail ever maid
Nice! Haha I do love that spinner 😆
