Fish caught on the Tater Tot Stubby Blade

What anglers are saying

Five anglers with five Columbia River salmon caught on the Tater Tot at Buoy 10 — It absolutely works. Buoy 10 day where the Tater out-fished 3.5s and Superbaits.

Tim Deaver with a fall chinook caught at the mouth of the Cowlitz River on the Tater Tot — I seen it in action at the mouth of the Cowlitz last fall. Jeremy gave me a few and we did very well.

Coho salmon caught on the Tater Tot in early season — Stingy early silvers can't say no.

Why it works

Not a traditional spinner blade. A slanted leader channel pitches the body at a controlled angle. A back-bend folds the rear body off-plane. A perpendicular tail fin deflects flow asymmetrically. Together, the whole body rotates around your leader — no axis rod, no clevis, no plowing. Rigs like a soft spinner: slide it onto your leader with your own beads, hooks, and a hoochie if you want. Same easy setup, action nothing else can match. Tuned over 521 iterations. Finished in deadly UV colors.

Target Species

Fall Chinook

Aggressive action that triggers reaction strikes from ocean and river kings. Common setup is behind a 360 flasher, but it'll work behind anything that flashes.

Spring Chinook

Subtle profile and slower action gets bites from finicky springers in the Columbia and Willamette. Pairs naturally with a triangle flasher.

Coho

Coho love the erratic side-to-side. Run it solo or add a hoochie trailer. Works behind any flasher.

Steelhead

Compact profile and flash that doesn't spook in clear water. Downsize your leader and slow your troll.

Kokanee

Tight wobble at slow speeds is deadly on landlocked sockeye. Pairs with a dodger or rigged solo.

Walleye

Flash and vibration pull walleye off structure in lakes and rivers.

How to Rig It

Tip: Fish it like a 3.5 Colorado

Tie on your hook Start by tying a treble hook to the end of your leader.
Slide on 2-3 beads Thread 2-3 beads (5-6mm) onto the leader above the hook for spacing and bearing action.
Slide on the lure, fins up! Thread the leader through the center channel with the fin pointing up. Easy to remember: fins up.
Fish it behind your flasher Run 18-24 inches behind a 360 flasher (fall salmon), triangle flasher (springers), or dodger (kokanee).

Tips

Add a hoochie above the beads for extra action and profile. Add a couple more beads above the hoochie for clearance and spin.
Try a pivot bead for even better spin.
Run it above a herring for springers.
