I have used the small LJ Dodgers early with some success. Most always behind a Dipsy. Bend the dodgers on both ends in the direction they are already cupped, and they will run more like a flasher.

I've never tried it but it sounds like a good idea. You could try the smaller coho flies. I've actually got quite a few small flashers and dodgers, along with different sets of coho and peanut flies. I'll have to remember this for next year.

Those little spinners catch coho's on the south end of the lake in Spring. Orange ones are deadly behind a 2 oz keel weight run off inline boards near the surface. Kings rarely hit them. The kings will hit the 8 inch and 11 inch spinners when the water warms in May off St Joe. There aren't many coho's in Ludington in the spring. They may be worth a try then but I wouldn't load up a spread with them off Ludington that time of year. Overall in the spring, spoons are more effective than spinners, except for coho's, in my opinion.
