Spin fishing

[Log]

To anyone whom responds i greatly appriciate it.

i will be visiting taneycomo at the end of the week and i was wondering if anyone had any advice on trying to catch a few good browns on spinning tackle, preferably without using bait. any details on lures or locations would be a great help.

thank you for your time

Stickbaits are always a good producer for browns with spinning tackle. I like the suspending husky jerk in about a 4" size. Best colors will vary with the conditions. Just about any brand of stickbait will work, if you are going to be fishing in the trophy area and wading you won't want anything that dives more than3-4 feet. If you take the time to replace the treble hooks with single hooks it will make releasing the fish a lot easier. Marabou jigs are also a good bet to try with spinning tackle. You can sightfish with a jig and spinning rod the same manner as you would with a flyrod. Brown/Yellow - Brown/Olive - White are three of my favorite colors of marabous. Hope these suggestions help.
