Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Simon Mono Spinner?

It is a pre-tied soft salmon spinner rig, also called a Mono Spinner. It combines a Simon 3.5 spinner blade, a Yamashita squid skirt, double 3/0 Gamakatsu Octopus hooks, and 40 lb Maxima Ultragreen mono for a ready-to-fish rig with strong flash and vibration.

What is the Simon Mono Spinner best for?

It is built for salmon, including river and migrating kings. The Simon 3.5 blade throws heavy flash and vibration to pull fish from a distance, while the Yamashita squid skirt adds a lifelike profile. It is a reliable trolling and drifting rig for chrome salmon.

How many color options are there?

The Simon Mono Spinner comes in six blade options: number 1, number 2, number 7, number 8, number 10, and number 12. Carrying a few numbers lets you match water clarity and light, switching finishes until the salmon show you which blade they want that day.

How do I fish it?

This is a spinner, so fish it on a slow troll or drift, commonly behind a flasher for salmon. The blade needs to turn steadily, so keep speed moderate and let the flash and vibration draw fish in. The Yamashita skirt and double hooks handle the strike.

What hooks and line does it use?

It is tied on double 3/0 Gamakatsu Octopus hooks for secure hooksets and higher hook-up rates, joined to 40 lb Maxima Ultragreen mono. That heavy, abrasion-resistant leader stands up to hard-charging salmon, so you can pressure fish without worrying about the rig giving out.

What should I run this with?

Pair it with the Titanium Flasher Bumper 24 inch. Salmon spinners fish best behind a flasher, and the titanium bumper sets that flasher out front without kinking, so the Simon Mono Spinner rolls cleanly out back on a tangle-free, salmon-tough leader all day.
