Danoinark Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 It has been a ton of years since I used an ultralight spinning rod for trout. But my up and coming fisherman, Skyler the 7 year old grandson, loves using his. (He is just now beginning to be interested in the long rod). I need to get him some productive rapalas for Taney and other lures that would be productive with 4 to 6 lb line. Can you guys give me a list of sizes, colors, of what you would use, either topwater, subsurface etc. And what is legal below the dam. Thanks.

Fish Bork Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 I use a gold rapala F3 or F5. Gold Mepps spinners work well also. when the shad start to die and come through the dam anything in silver or white will kill them Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Leonard Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Dano.. here is a short list.. floaters, and surspenders and the count downs if 3 or more units are on.. rapalas.. black and silver.. black and gold.. baby browns.... also dont forget about the Yo-zuri pin minnows... Those are GREAT.. cost some though..about $7 per lure rebels... any of them the floats... but IMO.. the lips come off of these alot quicker the the rapalas.. Leonard http://www.taneycomonights.com
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted January 9, 2007 Root Admin Posted January 9, 2007 6 lb line. Throw F or CD (I prefer F) F-7 is perfect. Gold, silver, rainbow Start and stop- hard irratic action and stop alot. Rogues are very good too, esp the suspending types. They really smack them when you stop.
Whodat Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Just got back as I write, and caught 20 fish on silver/black up by the cable and #1.
RiverRunner Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Don't forget about the jigs! I've caught a ton of fish on the White River System (& the Spring River) on 1/16 oz olive, black, & brown jigs. I guess you could use 6 lbs line, but 4 is better. I really like the "Zig Jig" made in NW Arkansas. I would think that they would be very easy for the young angler to use.
Danoinark Posted January 10, 2007 Author Posted January 10, 2007 Thanks everybody, I can get him equipped now. But tell me this. Is it legal to have multi hooks in the Trophy areas? I presume it is? I know multi fly rigs are ok, but I was unsure about treble's etc. Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
Fish Bork Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 trebles on Taney are fine Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
