FAQs
Can I use these for species other than trout?
Yes, while designed for trout, the 3g profile is also effective for panfish, small bass, and perch.
Are the hooks replaceable?
Yes, the treble hooks can be removed and replaced using a split ring if you wish to switch to single hooks or different sizes.
What is the best retrieve speed for these lures?
A slow to medium-steady retrieve is usually best, just enough to feel the vibration of the blade through the rod tip.
How do I deal with the barbed hooks in restricted areas?
You can use a pair of needle-nose pliers to crush or remove the barbs if your local regulations require barbless hooks.
Are these lures effective in moving water?
Yes, the balanced body makes them excellent for casting across stream currents and retrieving through pockets and eddies.
Troubleshooting
The spinner blade is not rotating.
Check the clevis and the swivel point for debris; ensure the retrieve speed is sufficient to initiate the spin.
Line twist is occurring during retrieval.
Attach a high-quality ball-bearing swivel to the main line before the leader to reduce torque.
Hook points are dull or damaged.
Use a specialized hook sharpening tool to hone the points or replace the treble hook if significant metal fatigue is visible.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, tie the spinner directly to your line using a clinch knot or a small barrel swivel. Because the 3g weight is light, a rod with a fast or extra-fast action tip will provide the sensitivity needed to feel the blade's vibration.
After each fishing trip, rinse the spinners in fresh water to remove any residual mineral deposits or algae, especially after use in brackish or saltwater. Dry the lures thoroughly before storing them in a tackle box to prevent rust from forming on the hooks. If the hooks begin to dull after repeated use against rocks, they can be touched up with a small diamond sharpening file.
