Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Hawken 3.5 Colorado Spinner?

It is a hard salmon spinner built on a 3.5 Colorado blade plated in 24k gold, 99.9 percent silver, and copper. It carries a size 1 Seaker treble hook by Hawken plus hyper UV and fluorescent paints, beads, and tubing for maximum flash and visibility.

What is this spinner best for?

It targets salmon, including river Chinook. The design traces back to the 2014 Columbia River run and has been refined ever since. The heavy 3.5 Colorado blade throws strong flash and thump, pulling salmon in across a range of water clarity and light conditions.

How many color options does it have?

The Hawken 3.5 Colorado Spinner comes in eight HEX finishes. Carrying several lets you match bright or stained water and changing light, so you can rotate through blade colors until the salmon commit to one pattern over the others on a given day.

How do I fish it?

This is a spinner, so troll or drift it at a slow, steady pace, often behind a flasher for salmon. Keep speed moderate so the Colorado blade turns fully and pumps out flash and vibration. Let the blade and UV finish do the work of calling fish in.

What makes the blade stand out?

The 3.5 Colorado blade layers 24k gold, pure silver, and copper plating with hyper UV and fluorescent paints, plus fluorescent beads and tubing. That combination pushes bright, high-contrast flash and glow, so the spinner stays visible and attractive in clear, stained, and low-light water.

What should I run this with?

Pair it with the Titanium Flasher Bumper 24 inch. Running a salmon spinner behind a flasher boosts its draw, and the titanium bumper sets that flasher out front without kinking, keeping the Colorado blade spinning on a clean, tangle-resistant leader.
