Well for the last few years I almost exclusively fished coho with spinning gear. My start off lure is a colorado spinner, gibbs makes good ones, but you can get some good ones for cheaper too. Smaller sizes in clearer water, larger in murky water. Experiment with colors until you find whats most sucessful. Most spinners will work quite well, and I agree that wedding bands are good coho lures. For spoons I like almost any gibbs spoon, croc, kitimat, ironhead, koho, etc. Brass or gold colors work well, and you can't go wrong with a little red on there somewhere. Size is also dependant on water clarity, and agressiveness of the fish. My biggest coho ever was caught on a large red spin n' glo with white wings. I was fishing it like a spoon, just casting and retrieving it behind a piece of pencil lead. I wasn't seriuosly trying to catch anything, I was just experimenting, and I've never caught another one on a spin n' glo since. I've heard flatfish work well too. I've tried them but never caught a coho on one, but the action that the flat fish makes, seems to bring the fish right to shore chasing it. Coho often do that while you're lure fishing, and It can be very frusterating :evil: Usually a color or size change will help entice a strike. Well thats alot of info :lol: Hopefully it helps someone out, good luck out there :!:
