About Us

Hi, I’m Norm.

I am a native of Manitoba and have also lived in Ontario, Minnestoa and now Arizona. I have fished a good number of lakes in Ontario, Minnesota and North Dakota over the years and I still make an annual fishing trip to the northeast portion of Lac Seul in Ontario every year. Our address is: Painted Back Rigs, 3899 E Rakestraw Ln, Gilbert, AZ 85298-0397.

My phone # is: 480-580-5378 (call or text)

Choosing the perfect presentation and yelling “Fish on!” when you hook up with a jumbo is one of the pure joys of fishing. We offer high quality fully-assembled spinner rigs / crawler harnesses that give you the best choices when trolling or drifting. Using spinner blades with painted backs increases your chances of hooking the fish that hesitate and follow your bait.

At Painted Back Rigs that’s what we do, we feature rigs with painted back spinner blades although from time-to-time we may carry a few with silver or nickel backs. We scour the internet and build our rigs from the finest fish-attracting blades and beads. Sure, we have the basic blade designs for you but we also have some very artistic ones that have proven to be very successful. We pair each blade with a bead configuration that reinforces its color and design, as well as the pattern it creates as it spins.

All harnesses have two hooks and all are made with either 15 or 20 lb. test Seaguar ABRAZX fluorocarbon line and red VMC hooks. Follow @Paintedbackrigs on Facebook or Instagram and keep checking back for new additions. You will want to see what we find and make next.

Many of the blades on our rigs have UV paint which can be either highly-reflective fluorescent paint or luminescent glow-in-the-dark paint. For the GLOW blades, to achieve the best effect in dim light conditions, remember to expose them to direct sunlight for 10-30 minutes to get the glow. At night, having one or two black light flashlights along with you will do the trick. Also, if you only want one hook for a minnow or leech, feel free to cut off the trailing hook.

Painted Back Rigs. Made the way you like them for fish you like to catch. Whether its walleye, bass, salmon, pike, perch, kokanee, trout or catfish, Painted Back Rigs is your source for better rigs and better fishing. Fish on!
