Mar 2, 2011 · 8" DW Spin doctors above 100' and below 100' the 10". But if you're going to use a 10" Spinny I would recommend using the 11" DW Paddle. My best combos last year were: Blue Green Dot, White Pearl Dot, and Black Green Dot Spin Doctors all paired with a …

Jan 24, 2021 · IMO the Spin Docs work best at higher speeds and the FC's and such work better at lower speeds. As for leader length, that seems to be a personal preference, but quite honestly like others have said IMO catching fish has more to do with being in the right spot than it …

Jan 2, 2023 · I tie 18 inch leaders on my 6 inch flashers/dodgers and 24 inch leaders on my 8 inch spin doctors and salmon candy flashers to keep my setups uniform. I wonder if I have too random of a collection of flashers, flies, and dodgers and need to get back to the more basic bread and butter flasher/fly patterns.

Jul 6, 2017 · I know that many do well fishing spin doctors, but, it seems every time I try to use them, it ends up in a huge cluster, tangled mess. I end up bringing it home and re-rigging the whole thing. I have caught fish on them before, but not very many.

Aug 13, 2024 · For lakers don't be afraid to put a spin-n-glo setup behind a flasher. I also run spin-n-glo's 12 inches behind cowbells and 24 inches behind 8 inch spin doctor when I'm targeting lakers. Sorry if it's stuff you already know, just figured …

Jul 9, 2014 · I've been running 40 ft of 40 lb mono and use the slide diver on the mono. Same things as Bob described. On the end of the mono, I attach a 6 foot "dipsey" type leader for spoons, or clip on a paddle or spin doctor directly. I've been running spoons the full 40 ft back and paddles and spin doctors about 20 ft back.
