This spinner looks dumb, but it works. It's made to immitate a wounded minnow. I have the best luck with the silver one.

Many lures are meant to catch the fisherman's eye rather than fish..

That lure does look goofy but I have no doubt you put that in some movimg water and it will draw a strike.

I throw those sometimes. One of those back pocket lures. When it works it works!
I have caught dollies, rainbow, and cutties on that exact lure.

The Super Duper has been around a long time, since I was a kid. I'd call it more of a variation on a spoon, than a spinner.

Personally, I've never had any luck with them, but it's not a lure I used a lot either.

I used them and have caught grayling in Alaska and trout in Montana and when fishing for trout I've always got one close by.
I like the copper with a red tip never tie your line directly to the lure ha ha

Why did you let the cat out of the bag ? We have had the “Dupe” in our arsenal for decades. At more than one trout pond we fish...when Iam too drunk to be in my boat...I stand on shore ..between two other fisherman ,that are not catching anything....and reel in Brookies like nobody’s business ,,,,right in front of their nose !

Have found that you will catch more browns on brass and more rainbows on silver. Brass and silver will catch both, but that has been my experience. Have had real good luck for rainbows with a Thomas Bouyant in rainbow pattern.

Caught a lot of rainbows in Utah lakes with them. Trout always hit them on the way down rather than on the retrieve.

Scout1,

My brother wore out two of those Johnson Century reels. Couldn't find another.

This I have not noticed. Maybe I'm starting to reel too fast...but I'm fishing ~shallow ponds.

My dad's favorite lure for trout. If he wasn't fly fishing it was a gold super duper. Hard to beat a panther Martin though.

Dad and I still have several and several more parts ones. One of the best reels made. I carry one in my fly vest for spinner fishing. I learned to work on them at a young age. Sorry for the thread hijack!

Will have to say I've never seen a spin cast reel fished on a fly rod as shown in the pic. Probably shouldn't ask how you use it like it is.

I have a small spinning reel on a fly rod as my favorite yellow perch rod.When the big ones are just "mouthing" the bait,I can feel them when other folks with regular rods cant.They will comment,"you can feel them looking at your bait with that thing cant ya"And also,,yes to the panther martin for brookies.Wish I had a dollar for every brookie I gat on a panther martin.
