Frequently Asked Questions

What is Uncle Larry's Power Spinner best for?

The Power Spinner targets trout, kokanee, and salmon in lakes, rivers, and streams. It spins with fast action and heavy vibration that fish track down. Steelhead guide Jerry Lampkin drew double and triple hookups on the Klamath River with it. It is built with real metal plate for extra flash. Six colors.

How do I fish the Power Spinner?

Twist dough bait onto the Hitchhiker Spring so it holds through long drifts, then tie on with a swivel to cut line twist. In lakes, use a slow, steady retrieve. In rivers, let it drift naturally with the current. The vibration and flash trigger aggressive strikes.

Can I troll the Power Spinner for kokanee?

Yes. Capt. Jeff Goodwin slow trolls the Power Spinner behind a Catch America dodger, tipped with corn, for kokanee and bonus trout at Shasta Lake. He works the 40 to 50 foot band from the Pit River Bridge to the dam. Keep speed slow so the blade turns clean.

What is the Hitchhiker Spring on the Power Spinner?

It is a coiled spring on the shank that grips dough bait securely, so your bait stays put through longer, more effective drifts and casts. The spinner also carries real silver, gold, or copper plate for flash, with color-coordinated beads and premium hooks for dough-bait anglers.

What color Power Spinner works best?

The Power Spinner comes in 6 colors, including Silver Shad, White Shad, and Red & Black Tiger. Bright, high-contrast blades stand out in moving or stained water, where steelhead and trout key on flash and vibration. Pick natural shad tones when the water runs clear.

What pairs with the Power Spinner?

Run Uncle Larry's Double Trouble alongside it, a dual-blade kokanee spinner guides fish behind a dodger on the slow troll. Carrying both lets you cover a spinning bait for casting and drifting plus a slow-troll option for kokanee and trout on the same trip.
