The "French Frye" Kokanee and Trout Spinner 

The all-new "French Frye," is possibly the most productive combination Kokanee and Trout lure ever produced. Over 15 years of research in Northern California and Idaho have bred a spinner with all the elements necessary to attract Kokanee and Trout and make them strike. Vibration, flash, color, size, and shape together with Eagle Claw's laser sharp treble hooks make this lure a must for serious fishermen.

Whether cast or trolled (with or without attractors) this lure's versatility stands above all other Kokanee and Trout lures on the market. Add corn, eggs, maggots, power bait, small pieces of worm or whatever other kind of bait you can think of - the "French Frye's" hook will accommodate. Kokanee salmon have sensitive mouths and a notorious "hook-spitters." However, in test after test this lure's unique style treble hook gets more Kokanee into the boat than hooks commonly used on other lures ( about 80% hooked to boated ratio).


But the number one key to a good lure is vibration, and the high quality " French" style spinner blade known for optimal vibration at slow speeds - meets the goal and adds to the lures effectiveness. "French Frye's" are made two ways.
