Spinner Baits
by Administrator on Apr.22, 2009, under Fishing Tips and Techniques
Blade sizes vary along with skirt colors. In the willow leaf blade, I like to fish the small to mid size in the spring when the fish are roaming in the shallow water. A chrome willow leaf and a gold Colorado are a good combination for this time of year. If the water is stained to muddy, I like to throw a solid white blade with a white skirt and a chartreuse trailer. The white blades give off a lot of flash and gold or copper is good for this kind of water. Slow rolling these baits will locate fish over and around logs in the shallow water. I like to run them over logs and let them flutter down then start up the retrieve again. Normally, the fish will hit as the bait is falling. I slow roll them around timber and stumps letting them bump into the brush. This stop and go retrieve will draw more strikes.

I personally prefer using a heavy buzz bait with gold blades. I fish it as slow as possible without hitting the bottom.

I love to use spinnerbaits! All types colors and combinations are effective depending on the situation. It just takes time on the water to learn what, where, when, and how. One of my favorite techniques is to slow roll one just over the top of the cover that I am fishing, bumping the cover and letting it flutter occasionally. This will make an inactive bass strike most of the time.

I use a Single blade Willow leaf in 2 to 8 foot water with a chartreuse skirt on cloudy days. It seems to work for me when there is mild wind and semi clear waters.
