Spinners and Custom Spinners

This will be my steelhead mix if NY laws allow the weight and I’m really not sure paperwork is pretty vague on this point can it weigh more than 3.5 grams or 1/8 of a oz speaking the salmon river anyway
It has been a while since I reviewed their regs but I want to say at the time, only the hook was regulated on a spinner, not weight.

If I added a single or treble weedless hook to a spinner would it fly correctly? I’d love to use them more but it is really choked up with weeds where I normally fish.

It may but the spinner itself is going to get weeds on it. Just the end of the twisted wire will tangle.

I throw the spinners I make at my local reservoir that has ALOT of weeds. The payoff is fantastic as soon as it deflects off of a weed but every cast I am cleaning the spinner off and not always the hook.

I haven’t used spinners much since childhood. Tohickon creek before the Nock was built. Rt113 above the bridge and the backwater above Meyers Dam Stovers Dam.

I know a couple of guys that throw spinner baits in weedy areas, single hook, less snags.

I have a few spinner baits that I’ll have to try up there this year. I don’t throw them much as I’ve only ever caught one bass on them but the inline spinners I always catch.

No, not a buzz bait. I don't fish spinnerbaits very often but I know the difference. These are 2 bass guys I've fished with, the one throws it deep in to cover, gets snagged a lot but he also gets a lot of bass.
