Need help building "Christmas trees"

[martyscher]

Nearly everyone who regularily trolls for large trout on my lake,catches them using a"christmas tree".<br /><br />These rigs are basically 4 or 5 shell shaped flashers, the usual beads and swivels, with a small spinner attached. The whole rig is about 36" long.<br /><br />These rigs don't look like rocket science to build, but are hard to find, and some are priced from $8-11, which hurts when you lose one.<br /><br />Anyone know of a web store that carries these, or even better, one that sells bulk lure components, to build your own?<br /><br />Any help is papreciated.

Re: Need help building "Christmas trees"

martyscher, we used these exclusively in the high sierra lakes for rainbows and browns. We didn't use a spinner, but a worm at the end...killer rig. My poor dad went through a few bucks replacing all the one's we'd loose. Anyway, you may want to try Cabela's. Both the catalog and the stores devote quite a bit of space to lure components...sorry couldn't be much help...but definitely get a few of these in your tackle box. Good luck!
