Uncle Larry's UV Glow Tiger Spinners are built around a tiger-stripe UV glow pattern that outperforms standard chrome and painted blades in the low-light and deep-water conditions where kokanee hold during mid-day trolling. The UV coating absorbs and re-emits light, producing a glow that remains visible at the 20-40 foot depths where kokanee school during peak season when surface-charged blades have already faded. The Tiger pattern's irregular stripe design creates a visual trigger that differs from the uniform finishes fish see most often, producing strikes on pressured water where standard spinners have been ignored. Available in 48 color variations across the full Tiger series.
Overview
Special Tiger lures are trusted favorites for catching kokanee, trout, and salmon in a wide range of waters. Their proven action, eye-catching design, and vibrant flash make them irresistible to fish. Whether you’re trolling deep or casting into moving water, these lures consistently produce results. To get the most out of your tackle box, stock up on a range of colors and patterns—conditions change, and so should your presentation. For serious anglers who want consistent hookups, Special Tigers are a go-to choice.
How to Use
Select the Right Color – Use bright colors in stained or sunny conditions, and natural tones in clear water or overcast skies.
Rig Properly – Tie the lure directly to your leader or run it behind a dodger or flasher for added attraction.
Troll or Cast – Troll at 1.0–1.8 mph for kokanee or salmon. For trout, try casting near drop-offs or inlets and retrieving steadily.
Switch It Up – If bites slow down, change the color or size to match what fish are chasing.

We thru back 2 small Kokanee and a small bass. We took home 8 nice Kokanee and one nice rainbow. All off the new Uncle Larry spinners we got. We typically use a hoochie set up but saw the videos and wanted to give them a try. We are extremely satisfied with these lures.
I was having a really slow day fishing, so I decided to try this Uncle Larry’s lure for the first time. I used half of a night crawler and Bam!💥 I had a fish within five minutes! Money, baby!
Colors are very vibrant and they all function properly in the water. However I was a little unimpressed with the tie on the second hook it broke on my first fish with it.
Shopping was good but shipping was bad. Supposed to arrive 12/6 didn’t arrive until 12/8. Love the copper pop lures a Berryessa always catch fish with them there.
What are Uncle Larry's UV Glow Tiger Spinners best for?+
These UV spinners target kokanee, trout, and landlocked salmon on the slow troll. Guides Cal Kellogg and Max Gross ran them for rainbows at Wishon Reservoir, boating over 40 fish. The glow finish and tight blade flash draw strikes in stained water and low light. Choose from 48 colors and patterns.
How do I rig the Glow Tiger spinner?+
Run it on the slow troll behind a 6-inch dodger. Max Gross uses double hooks with corn on the top hook and a small chunk of nightcrawler on the bottom, then coats everything in WD80 scent. Troll roughly 1.2 to 1.8 mph so the blade spins steady behind the dodger.
What color Glow Tiger works for kokanee and trout?+
Firefly Madness and Hot Belly Tiger produced rainbows at Wishon Reservoir for Max Gross. The lineup runs 48 colors, including bright UV glow patterns for low light and natural tiger tones for clear water. Switch colors when the bite slows. Bright shades shine in stained or sunny conditions.
What dodger do I run with the Glow Tiger spinner?+
Pair it with the Trolling Dodger 6 inch for Kokanee and Trout. Guides slow troll the glow spinner 12 to 18 inches behind an offset 6-inch dodger. Moon Jelly was the hot dodger color at Wishon Reservoir. The dodger adds whip and flash that pulls fish to the spinner.
How fast should I troll Uncle Larry's Glow Tiger spinners?+
Keep it slow. At Wishon Reservoir, guides trolled these spinners about 1.2 to 1.8 mph behind a dodger, which lets the blade turn without spinning out. Run leadcore one to two colors deep to reach fish holding near the surface. Adjust speed until the blade thumps steady.
Do Glow Tiger spinners work in clear water and low light?+
Yes. The UV and glow finishes hold visibility in stained water, deep light, and early morning, when a plain blade disappears. In clear water, lean on natural tiger patterns. Guides fish them for kokanee holding anywhere from 35 to 90 feet at Berryessa behind an offset dodger.
