spinnerbaits

[DocPhil]

If you can feel the spinnerbait vibrations through your rodvtip you know it's working properly. No vibration means the blades are not spinning, usually if there's weed on it or the blades are stuck. If so reel it in and clean it up, and cast again :fishn

Spinnerbaits are probably the most versatile baits out there and on any given day I will have at least one rod riggged and ready to go with a spinnerbait.

The makes and variaties are almost as diverse as plastics and crankbaits. Stick to the basics and you'll soon catch them on spinnerbaits.

I prefer using tandem willow/colorado for fast to semi-fast fishing - in other words - fishing the top and middle water column. Colorado blades for slow rolling.

The general rule of thumb is that silver blades are used in cleaner water and the golden blades in dirtier water.

Also do yourself a favour and get yourself one of those four blade jobbies for when you get schools of baitfish - nothing imitate the baitfish as well.

Dont be afraid to throw your spinnerbait in the thickest stuff you can find - they are generally snag proof and work just as well as frogs.

Remember to get yourself some trailer hooks for the days where the fish are short striking - this does however effect the weedlessness (is that a word?) of the SB.
