Good Job!! Those spinners are like pickerel gold. If you figure out what speed they want them at, you'll have a lot of fun. One tip, if you don't already have needlenose pliers, you'll want them. The treble hooks suck getting out of a toothy guy that inhales the whole set up. Go get 'em!!!

I have them, and also have the cutting kind just incase i need to cut the hook in half. You're absolutely right, i had a hard time with one of them. It was a little stressful trying to get the treble hook out in time to throw the fish back in. I hear pickerel are pretty sensitive

A jaw spreader also comes in handy
