Frequently Asked Questions

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.
