T he Mack’s Lure line up is packed with flashers, dodgers and variety of spinners and spoons that trout and salmon anglers can count on to perform on the water.

Give these lures a spin and see what the trout and landlocked salmon at your home lake think of them! Wedding Ring Spinners If your father or grandfather trolled for trout there is a good chance they used Wedding Ring spinners, a favorite for over 40 years. The original Wedding Ring spinner is hand-tied on monofilament line giving it greater action in the water than lures made with wire. The highest quality rhinestone diamonds create a brilliant reflection that captivates trout.

Wiggle hoochies come pre-rigged with a long leader models, UV spinners and more! The Single Series Kokanee Killer model combines a Glo Hook with the Wedding Ring Spinner to create a deadly combina- tion for kokanee as well as trout. As effective as standard blade Wedding Rings are there is a variation on the old standard that no trout enthusiast should be without. I’m talking about the Double Whammy Smile Blade Equipped Pro Series Spinner. This bait is armed with a pair of super sharp hooks, contrasting bead colors and the deadly 1.1 size smile blade. This bait comes in a long list of color combinations. Wiggle Hoochie The Shasta Tackle Wiggle Hoochie is a and a pair of hooks and are fitted with a special clear plastic lip that make them wiggle pretty much the way a crankbait does. The Wiggle Hoochie looks goofy and honestly, I avoided using them for a long time, but I’ve got to admit that they are a deadly trout and salmon lure. I’ve caught dozens of hefty rainbows on them and I’ve watched Fish Sniffer Publisher Paul Kneeland catch dozens more. We run our Wiggle Hoochies without the addition of dodgers and they work great. At times, I’ll put Wiggle Hoochies on a 36 inch leader and slide them down a deep downrigger line as a dropper. While fishing for kokanee at Don Pedro, I had to stop using my Wiggle Hoochie dropper because I was catching so many rainbows that I wasn’t able to keep my kokanee lure in the strike zone for any length of time.
