now that salmon season and steel heading is right around the corner, I'm wondering where i can get a lot of  spinners, i usually lose 2-3 an outing and I'm running low lol. Im mainly looking for small size spinners for tribs. thanks in advance.

Hey Chasin make them bro, I started making my own and you save a ton of cash. Check this link: http://www.ontariofi...-made-spinners/

 

Or if you are set on buying I believe Sail is having a sale starting Sept 10th something like 15% off all fishing gear and equipment.

Agreed make them yourself. He has a ton of selection and great prices. Plus you can make them with a premium single hook and you won't snag up on bottom or the fish as much.

I've been interested in making my own, Bow_Man where did you get the stuff needed to make them?

Chasin check this site: http://www.luremaking.com/index.htm it is where I buy all my parts to make my spinners.

Do you guys have problems with the hooks on the cheap spoons and spinners? I find them to be garbage

I buy blades from these guys, I caught 20+ steelhead on Colorados last year and plan to double that this year.

i either sharpen them, or if they're really bad, ill cut them off, put a hook ring in then buy some good hooks and put them on

I've never had a single issue with the hooks on Dollarama spinners and spoons, including fighting salmon and steelhead in excess of 10lbs multiple times on the same lure. 

 

I have had expensive hooks break right in half after only a fish or two. 

[DitchWizard]

I can never trust the cheap hooks, they are made of such cheap metal the points bend right over if I hit a rock. Other hooks I had points just break right off on rocks but I don't normally use any line under 12lbs for hardware. I just swap them out for gammy singles or sometimes ultra point trebles. I don't see the point in spending all the money to go fishing then use the cheapest hooks that have the best chance of failure on a fish. 

[salmotrutta]

I am the opposite, I don't trust fancy hooks, I've never had a dollarama hook break. Even the ones you get like 90 hooks for $1. I remember using the same hook for the majority of a steelheading season, no sharpening, used over and over again and never broke. 

[ChasinTails]

The hooks are fine i just change them if they bend or break
