| Doug,
I would like to thank you for continuing to make this fantastic lure that has proven itself time and time again. I have used and successfully caught
Salmon, Brown Trout, Coho, Steelhead, Walleyes, Pike and Bass on your lures.
Thank you for making the smaller ones for me. I will be incorporating these
into a countdown lure with artificial bait for suspended walleye on Saginaw Bay, Portage Lake, Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. Since I fish solely out of my kayak, casting, slip-bobbering and jigging are my go to methods, so it is real convenient that your spinners allow me to cast while I have bobbers out soaking.
I have tried and spent a lot of money on other lures that have not produced, so to use a time tested spinner like yours saves me not only money but precious time.
Thanks again for your great product, and look forward to your new colors for
2012.

Arctic Spinners are my go to lure for fishing spinners in rivers. The way they spin in slow water is too much for the fish to resist. With Arctic Spinners I can out-fish guys using the big company spinners 2-1.

Arctic Spinners have been my best producing lure for salmon, steelhead and trout year in and year out. Their unique action and triggering properties provoke big fish to bite when nothing else does.

Hi Doug!
Things are well and you may certainly use what ever photos of mine you wish for your website :)
Arctic Spinners are one of many go-to tactics I use on regular basis while targeting steelhead through out the year in the Great Lakes region. I grew-up tossing them around the Northwestern Lower Peninsula of Michigan and have used them successfully in my travels around the region ever since, including fly-in fishing trips to Northern Ontario for pike and walleye.
When a situation calls for spinners, I pull out my variety box of Arctics and fish with confidence. I can't wait until I can take them to the West Coast someday for my dream trips!"
Here are the pictures from my last trip to Tippy this spring.
First is me with the biggest of the trip, 32+ incher caught on All Black with Red beads.
Second is my buddy Bobby. He had never caught a steelhead on a spinner before this trip! Pulled two under my nose on All Blue. We did 8 in one day, all on Arctics, and were the only ones catching fish on both sides of the river that day.
Last is the cool picture I told you about.
Have a good one,
- Trev

Hey Doug,
I caught this 25 inch steelhead on the Arctic Spinner this weekend up at Mentor Headlands off the break wall (it's at the mouth of the Grand River). I was using the white spinner with red beads that had the silver spinner. I had another hit but missed it because I wasn't paying attention. I just thought you would like to know.
Thanks,

All I have to say is these are the best lures for salmon and trout that I have ever used! I buy them from Gracie's in LaPorte and use them in Trail Creek and Harbor. Thank You!!

| Well, your spinners work on walleyes. I definitely need to order some lighter weight spinners with a siawash hook on it. I caught one walleye on the firetiger spinner, but lost it soon after I caught the fish. It was way too heavy to be fishing the cover I was but I still had to try. Now I have more to order from you. I tried to take a pic of the fish with the spinner in its mouth, but it was snowing too hard for it to turn out, plus my cheap camera focused on the reflection of the walleyes eyes glowing in the flash to see the rest. The eyes drowned the rest of the fish out, and the snow on the ground did not help either. I need someone with me to take pics so it is easier.

Doug,
I will gladly say some good things about Arctic Spinners!! We fished a river south of Grand Rapids one day and people all around us were catching nice salmon. No matter what we put on our lines, we could not even get anything to bite, let alone land one. We did some research and found out about Arctic Spinners. I found some at "Al and Bob's" in Grand Rapids and bought two of each color. No lie, the next trip to the same river, we had our first of many on our stringer within 10 minutes. Keep on making those spinners. You have a customer for life!!

Doug,
I came across your spinners at a fishing show and did not hesitate to purchase all the colors you had. I talked to you about fish I've caught on Mepp's and other spinners, but I had great success on yours. It BY FAR out-fishes any of the factory-made spinners. Your lures spin great, look great and catch fish!! I tried fishing your spinners at a creek for salmon and trout the whole year after the show. I was pulling out fish like crazy!! I caught MONSTER steelhead, kings and coho. My best colors were the Black #4, White #4 and Yellow (Chartreuse) #4. I did catch many other kinds of fish off your spinners too. The quality amazes me. It's a high quality lure. Bass attack it and crappie engulf the bait. I will be a for-sure buyer into the future. I give your lures a 10 out of 10!! Keep up the good work!! My fish limits increase so much because of these spinners!!

P.S.
To be honest, you inspired me to make the spinners I do today. I really love your lures and will buy more a the show because I still use your spinners even though I make my own. I've done really well at the beginning of the season on your spinners. And if you ever have time before the show on any day to fish some of my good spots, I'll show you where I got close to 450 fish this year!! Thanks again, Doug. You really helped me with all of this.
- Daniel
