Rotating Lures?

[Lunderdog]

Just wondering if anyone else is having any  success using either the Brads Superbaits or the Yakima Spin-N-Fish? I know they are a mostly west-coast area type of lure, but they do have a good meat rig style of spin and they can be filled with scent. I have never noticed anyone mentioning them in the reports, but maybe someone has had luck?

No but have been using the freedom tackle hard herring bait that spins this year with good luck

Thanks! That's another lure I have to try.... LOL Seriously, they look pretty good, and in all the right colors.

3 of the 4 we had on last weekend came off those. Broke 2 off at the boat. That was a hit to the gut and the wallet!

Broke 2 off? Yikes. Did the lure fail?

[tyler.woodard04]

No lures held up fine. One got in the rigger cable and the other we were struggling to get in the net and I think it got in-between the main and kicker and hit something. Worst part was it was hanging right there and I could not get the damn net behind it to scoop it even after it broke

Do you run them with a flasher and Twinkies?

[tyler.woodard04]

Yes, either alone behind flasher or with Twinkies
