Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Double Trouble spinner best for?

Kokanee, trout, and salmon. Uncle Larry's Double Trouble uses a dual-blade design for maximum flash and vibration to attract even finicky fish. The hand-painted, USA-made spinners come in vibrant colors and patterns for every condition and lake.

How do you rig the Double Trouble?

Run it behind a dodger or flasher and tip it with corn or scent. Cal Kellogg and Max Gross fish it on lead core behind a 6-inch Catch America dodger, using corn on the top hook and a small piece of nightcrawler on the bottom hook.

What speed do you troll the Double Trouble?

Slow-troll it between 1.0 and 1.8 mph, adjusting depth as needed. At Wishon Reservoir, Cal Kellogg and Max Gross slow-trolled it behind UV dodgers at 1.2 to 1.8 mph and landed more than 40 square-tailed rainbows in a single session.

What Double Trouble color should I pick?

Choose a color that matches the water and weather, and change it up if you are not getting hits. Max Gross had an orange and gold UV glow Double Trouble catch fire at Shaver Lake, while Hot Belly Tiger and Mad Passion produced at Wishon.

Can I use the Double Trouble kokanee spinner for trout?

Yes. Max Gross says do not be afraid to run Uncle Larry's kokanee spinners for trout at Central Valley lakes. They have been a game changer, producing 30 to 40 rainbows on recent trips when slow-trolled behind a dodger.

What pairs well with the Double Trouble?

Run it behind the Trolling Dodger 6 inch. The dodger supplies the flash and slow wobble that make a slow-trolled Double Trouble deadly on kokanee and trout, exactly the setup the Catch America guides use at Wishon and Shaver.
