Hi all:Just getting ready for some winter steelheading and was wondering what spoons and spinners would work for them.Ive never used them and have no idea what to use.

I just finished reading Bent Rods site. Check it out.

Nickle Ironheads work well, there are also some bigger tear drop shapped nickle hammerd that ar good. You get the idea! Hope this helps.

Gibbs Coho spoons size 55 in blue and silver on bigger water like the Thompson work well.

My preferences are the 2/5 oz. little cleo spoons in nickle or brass, and colorado style spinners #3 to #5 in nickle or brass. Books by Bill Herzog and Jed Davis have good descriptions and background about spoon and spinner fishing for steelhead and salmon.

BC Steel

Go with Rvrfshr spoons instead of BC Steel, same spoon and a whole lot cheaper plus they come with the hook, snap and split ring.

check on the Gibbs website for 2/5oz Ironheads. You can get them in some of the best fish catching finishes like Sterling silver, 50/50 brass/silver, real gold plate, copper plus more. This is a very under rated spoon here in BC and for some strange reason hard to find at most tackle shops. It's easy to get the very quick sinking to the bottom and lose then 2/3oz ironheads but not the great fish catching 2/5oz

50/50 Nickle and Brass blade can be deadly !!!!

Cause Joe makes great hardware and his customer service is :thumbup, a rarity in our times.

Ditto on the service from rvrfshr, wrong color spoons in part of my order and a quick call to Joe and the right color was shipped at no charge ;D didn't even have to ship back the wrong ones, they were mine to keep. Not very often you'll find a business ethic like this :thumbup:.
50/50 hammered colorados in real gold and silver make a big difference in light reflecting qualities.

Ive had luck with the Meps lures, silver spinner with an orange bead at the base, give that a try!

Their products sure look good. I will order some from them to make my own spinners. Thanks for the info.
