What are inline spinners good for?

Inline spinners are great for catching trout mainly because the spinning blade on the lure’s shaft triggers strikes from both aggressive and inactive fish. The flash produced by the spinning blade mimics the movement of the shiny minnows trout feed on in rivers and lakes.

An inline spinner is a type of spinnerbait that has been used for several decades to catch a range of fish, including trout and pike, as well as bass. Like a spinnerbait, the lure features a blade that spins under the water to create vibrations and flash.

Should I use a swivel with a spinner?

We do not recommend attaching a spinner directly to a swivel. Most fishermen use a swivel that is way too big and this can interfere with the action of the lure. If you are set on using a swivel, we recommend you tie a very small top quality ball bearing snap swivel to the end of your main line.

Do bass bite on spinners?

Spinners and spoons are very effective lures for taking trophy bass. The flash and vibration created by a spinner excites a bass into striking, so he does not have to be “on the feed” to take the lure. Spoons, to a bass, are minnows, so a 1/4 oz. At this time you’ll want to use smaller lures.

What fish can you catch with spinnerbait?

Spinnerbaits are used principally for catching predatory fish such as perch, pike and bass, and are particularly helpful in attracting fish as you begin your day out on the lake.

Should I use a weight with a spinnerbait?

Weights like 1/4oz and 3/8oz are ideal to keep the Spinnerbait higher up in the water column. If the bass are cruising the shallows in the spring or fall, these weights will allow you to keep the Spinnerbait above the grass, and will even give you the ability to “yo yo” them back to the boat.
