GLF Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I picked up this Thin Fin at D & R Sports today. I am trying to decide if it will catch fish, and if I should add it to my arsenal. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishwhisperer Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I picked one up myself today. I've heard good reports with it. Also picked up a Rapala J-11 in the Bleeding Copper Flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boltman Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'm thinking you've bought it so try it out on the salmon, maybe they might like it.....It's red and well they bite on orange a lot.....Doesn't it feel good to buy a new Lure..... ahhhh it's almost as good as fishing.......

Paulywood Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Nope, won't catch any fish. You had better get rid of it. Why don't you send it to me and I'll dispose of it for you:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordymohr Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Huh? What? You only bought ONE? I use something very similar and its really good for rainbows up high off boards.http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu75/gordymohr/IMG_0177_1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitMan Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Well, I agree, I have over 12 of the original Thin Fins that are all beat up, so... from that evidence, I would say they don't catch fish either! If you are going anywhere from St. Joe south for Coho and all the way down and over to Racine, that is all you need. In any event, I would say it is the BEST coho lure ever made!

glnmiller Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Mike, those work great. I was told to remove the front hook on them to get better lure action. I tried it on one and it outfished others with the hook left on in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLF Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 OK.....I know they work GREAT on coho already! :D :D I only purchased one, because that was all they had. I am scrounging around some of the other bait and tackle shops to see if I can find more. If only my boat was in St. Joseph now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boltman Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Wow, Mike are you whinning????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLF Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Wow, Mike are you whinning?????You bet I am! Things did not work out for me this spring and I was not able to take the boat down to St. Joseph like I wanted to. Getting hit by that tree really set me back. This week has/is also a bad week for me. I am hoping things start to go my way next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Den Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Excellent choice Mike, but remove or change the split ring on the nose. You'll be sorry if you don't buy another one or 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trollperchsand? Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 A friend/co-worker of mine that fishes out of South Haven was helping me spend some money the other day @ D&R and he advised, (put two of them in my basket), that they were must haves. I'm hoping to test them out myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver one Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yes they catch fish. That is one of my best surface baits not just in spring but year round as I have landed some nice steelhead in the summer running this on a two color swr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea-Mac Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Remove the hooks too and replace them with Owners or a blood red treble, and replace ALL the split rings... then its ready to catch fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver one Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I have replaced the hooks with Gamagatsu hooks but I have never taken off the split rings.

Im always open to new Ideas and if it changes the action then im game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
