While I know the chinook will hit jigs occasionally, I have never fond them to be a super chinook lure. Many years ago on the Vedder when we were having one of those days you remember forever, we hit chinook, or springs, as they call them all day long on eggs, spoons, spinners and wool ties, but they simply would not take the jig.

Isn't fishing grand? Whenever we know something for sure the fish prove us wrong. I used to think the spinners were a poor choice for chums, and often they are, but recently I am aware of a coupe of times when the chums just loved the spinners. Go figure.
