Spin-N-Glo's

[Paulywood]

I bought a couple of those giant, marshmallow sized S-N-G's to use for lakers. How do you guys rig them up? Just a treble and a few beads? Same lead length as a fly? Thanks in advance.

We ran 3 of them on a 3 foot leader behind a big tin can with a meat rig behind that. Killer! Used 50 pound flouro and crimps behind each spin 'n' glow. A little bit touch to reel in but if you want to stir stuff up on the bottom it is a pretty awesome rig. Actually a lot easier to reel in then cowbells. I guess you could run a fly behind it all or even a spoon. If that is not in the cards for you try spin 'n' glow, one bead and a treble.

I was just going to try one behind a big tin can or a set of cowbells. How long of a leader?

[killerbe20]

i run them with a treble hook and a single bead when by itself. also have run them in front of a fly with good success. same leader length as standard fly.

Thanks Josh.

[Knot Tellin]

what are you calling a tin can. Is it just a flasher?

[Paulywood]

A metal dodger.

Metal Dodgers and Lakers go hand and hand, up here with Spin-n-Glows or Peanuts a short lead form the dodger works best for us, like 16" short.. We've been doing well with a 8" shiney sliver Flodger and a glow peanut.

If your using the Big spin-n-glows you need to get the hook away for the body of it, couple 8mm beads or a 8mm 10mm glowand another 8mm.. Works for us..

Thanks Captain.

[killerbe20]

let us know how it works out!

Wow short leads. Our leader length with the spinners of any kind are usually a lot longer, your looking at the 3 to 4 foot length behind the biggest tin can you can find

[Line Dancin]

24 inches here to a treble hook and a couple beads between the hook and spin n glo. we pull them with cowbells most of the time for lakers

[scottb]

We do very well with the Hammerhead cowbell and a med. size spin-n-glow w/ 4 beads between hook and spinner about 27" behind.

BTW: Why do they call it a spin-n-glow if most of them don't glow? Should it be a spin-n-GO instead?

Ok old question but I have to ask something.

I plan on running cowbells and Spin-n-Glo's this year, looking for a big laker.

I've made my own cowbells, which are 27 inches long, and planned on running the large Spin-n-Glo's behind them Originally my thought was to attach the cowbells directly to the 3 way swivel and then run the Spin-n-Glo 24 inches behind that. Is that too close?

Should I run a longer leader between the cowbells and peanuts? Should I NOT attach the cowbells directly to the three way swivel and run a 3 to 4 foot leader from the swivel to the cowbells?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank all.

Now cowbells are a different story than running a dodger. Clip the cowbells directly to your main line with a good quality snap swivel. the 16 to 24 inches is all you need to your hook directly attached to the cowbells. With a dodger you are looking for the dodger to put the action to the spion n glo moving from side to side. cowbells just spin in a straight line basically and impart no action to the spin n glo. A dodger if the lead is to short then the spin n glo whips wildly. if to long you loose action. For dodgers the best method is three time the length of the dodger.

Anyone have a good source for Spin N Glows??

I have bought some from Lure parts on line, the old Stamina Co.

[Paulywood]

I got mine at Northwoods Frank. I think they have 2 of everything.

[Line Dancin]

I have been ordering direct. They now off everything they make on their website not just corkies and spin n glos. You can download the entire catalog and figure out what colors you want before going to the order site which has very little info on it.

If you order by tomorrow night they have free shipping on orders over 25 bucks right now. Prices on spin n glos and peanuts are in line with the bait shops.
