FAQs

What is the best retrieve speed for the Flying Bullet Spinner?

The ideal retrieve speed can vary. Start with a steady, moderate retrieve and adjust based on water conditions and fish response. Experiment with pauses and slower retrieves, especially when fish are less aggressive.

Which color is best for salmon and sea trout?

While Red/Silver is a classic, the best color often depends on the water clarity and light conditions. Black/Silver and Black/Copper are also effective. It's advisable to carry a selection of colors to match the conditions.

Can this lure be used in saltwater?

Yes, the Flying Bullet Spinner is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments where salmon and sea trout are present. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water after saltwater use.

How heavy is the Allcock Flying Bullet Spinner?

This specific model is 20g. Other available weights include 10g and 16g.

What type of fish is this lure primarily designed for?

It is primarily designed for catching salmon and sea trout.

How do I maintain the lure's finish?

Rinse with fresh water after use, dry thoroughly, and store in a place where it won't be scratched or damaged. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Lure not spinning properly

Ensure the blade is not bent or damaged. Check that the line is not twisted, which can impede rotation. Try a direct tie instead of a snap if using one.

Hookups are missed frequently

Ensure the treble hook is sharp; sharpen or replace if necessary. Experiment with different retrieve speeds and add pauses to give fish a better chance to commit.

Lure tangles with line

Use a quality swivel attached to your leader. Avoid over-casting or casting with excessive force, which can cause line twist.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective lure for salmon and sea trout.
  • Smooth and consistent blade action.
  • Durable construction with quality components.
  • Sharp treble hook for reliable hooksets.

Cons

  • May require specific retrieve speeds to perform optimally.
  • Effectiveness can vary based on water clarity and fish mood.
  • Treble hooks can sometimes snag on underwater structures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply tie the Flying Bullet Spinner directly to your main fishing line or leader using a reliable knot such as a clinch knot or improved clinch knot. Ensure the knot is snugged down tightly. For easier lure changes or to add a swivel, a small, strong snap or coastlock snap can be used, though some anglers prefer a direct tie to minimize potential weak points.

Compatibility: This lure is compatible with most standard spinning and casting fishing rods and reels. It is most effective in freshwater rivers, streams, and some saltwater estuaries where salmon and sea trout are found.

Care: After each use, rinse the lure thoroughly with fresh water to remove any salt, sand, or debris, which can corrode the components and affect its action. Dry the lure completely before storing it. Pay special attention to the treble hook; keep it clean and rust-free. Store the lure in a tackle box with good ventilation or a soft lure wrap to protect the finish and prevent the hook from snagging on other items.
