PISTOL PETES SPINNERS
PISTOL PETES are proven to be
consistent producers. The propeller on PISTOL PETES attracts the fish's
attention and triggers strikes because it combines both "action" and
"sound."
Many anglers fish PISTOL PETES with a light spinning rod using a "fly and
bubble" set up (see illustration below).This is a particularly effective
way to fish PISTOL PETES in lakes using a slow, stop, and go, retrieve.
Stripping PISTOL PETES with a fly rod is another effective way to fish them in
lakes. If you are stream fishing PISTOL PETES on a fly rod, try casting across
or quartering downstream. Allow the current to swing your PISTOL PETE around as
you would a small lure. You will often get strikes as the PISTOL PETE swings
with the current. You will also get strikes as you strip the fly back upstream
after it has completed its swing. You should use a small ball bearing swivel on
the end of you leader if you are fishing in fast current, otherwise you will get
leader twist (especially if you are using the larger Salmon/Steelhead and
Saltwater/Pike Pistol Petes). Many anglers also have had good success trolling
PISTOL PETES behind a boat. Placing a small split shot about six inches in front
of the PISTOL PETE helps get the fly down. The pitch of the propeller can be
changed to allow it to spin at the speed you desire. Experiment, you may find a
fast propeller works better for you.
