For muskie and northern pike fishing an inline spinner bait is available. The lure can be created in any size from 4" to 10" and with just about any color of bucktail, including multi-colors. Different blade styles and sizes are also available. I have had fishermen sending me pictures of the large mouth and small mouth bass they have caught with these lures. They have ordered bucktails targetting bass. The prices vary depending on the complexity of the bucktail and the blade size. Prices range from $8.00 to $12.00.

For trout, panfish, largemouth bass, and smallmouth bass an inline spinner is available. This is the only lure I use on the Root River in Southeast Minnesota. It catches both trout and smallmouth bass on the Root River with great success. The different options include the blade finish (smooth silver, hammered silver, smooth brass, or hammered brass) and hook color (silver or red). The price of the spinner is $2.75.

This is a slightly smaller spinner with a #2 Colorado Blade and a #8 hook. It works well for trout, panfish, largemouth bass, and smallmouth bass.

For walleye fisherman, Root River Lures creates a spinner bait with either a single hook for minnows and leeches or two hooks for a worm harness. This is the only spinner I use when fishing walleye. It has been proven over the years on Lake Kabetogamma in northern Minnesota. The spinner comes on a 4 1/2' snell with a #2 colorado blade (hammered silver, hammered gold, smooth gold, and smooth silver) with 5 beads (I generally put a glow bead as the first bead) and a high quality hook (red or silver). The snell length can be adjusted, along with the color of the beads. If you are fishing Lake Kabetogamma you cannot go wrong with a red hook! The price of the spinner is $1.75.

The Green Hornet is taken from the show "Grumpy Old Men". The handle is hand cut from pine and then painted. The fiberglass poles have a single guide which has been hand tied. You can use them to catch fish and/or cabin/office decor. I personally use a Green Hornet as a traveling trophy called the "Dumb Duck Award". Four of us have ice fished together for over 20 years with one major 4-6 day trip a year. We have fished multiple lakes and caught a lot of fish. You can imagine after 20 years how the stories have become confused and in some cases grown! We use the "Dumb Duck Award" as a way to log each trip with who attended, which lake, and the number and species of fish caught. The winner each year is voted for at the end of the trip for the most noteworthy event that occurred during the trip. They then get to proudly display the "Dumb Duck Award" for the year. Three pole options are available 1) Green 20" sensitive noodle pole, 2) Orange 15" medium action, and 3) Chartreuse 15" medium-heavy action. The price of the poles are $18.00, which includes shipping.
