Here is everything that I know about how to fish a spinnerbait. Perhaps one of the best lures that people don't fish often the spinnerbait can catch bass all year long. A simple change of size, blade, or speed can be the trick. It can be fished like a jig or like a crankbait and it can be virtually weedless. Get a few and try them out. You won't be sorry.

The spinnerbait has been my Go-To confidence lure for the last few years, I have started using a Chatterbait in it’s place a little bit lately as I have a little less trouble with thin stem silver dollar pads that are prevalent in my local ponds up here in NH. Great info as always Gene. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I've NEVER had luck with a spinner bait UNTIL after I decided to force myself to use one all day. Now it's a confidence bait for me! Great video!

A black and blue spinner bait with a single Colorado gold blade has been my favorite here in West Central Florida they just nail it ferociously, I do throw a double willow leaf sexy shad and believe it or not I mostly get huge catfish on it and only a few bass on them I gotta restock on some Colorado spinner baits I think I'm down to one. Great informative talk thanks Gene.

@jamesleary1405 4 года назад

Great video!! Now my 25+ years experiences with spinnerbaits has been pretty good truth be told any time of year. I prefer white chartrues skirts and tandem with willow leaf blade on bottom. Usually 3/8 oz to 1/2oz is my preferred weight! I fish mainly clear to stained water and occasionally very stained waters! I do run a few shad color skirts also but not many! And I like my arm to be extended out a little more then A frame! Also I never like to big of blades especially on the bottom blade where the blade is almost 1/2 inch or more past the hook. I used to use worm bags also but I ran Into my skirts drying out! So now I use a plano spinnerbait box! Well anyways great take on your opinion love your videos tight lines 🎣

@heartoffishing4681 4 года назад

Awesome video thanks, spinner baits are a confidence bait for me. I especially like it because I have some smaller urban spots that I go to and the spinner bait just delivers most the time. I think chatter baits and swim bait are the primary reason people don't fish spinner baits as much, but they stay in heavy rotation in my arsenal.

@joeclark7082 Год назад

I pond hop on larger ponds stocked with Florida strain bass in NE Texas and I have found that the larger fish like a single #6 Colo. blade, baby bass color with a swim-tail trailer. Slow roll, pull and pause. The bite is on the pause. Let it fall after the cast if you know there is deeper cover. If in the spring, work the bank lines at different speeds till you know what the fish want. A big blade likes to be slow rolled. Dont be afraid of slow-rolling the bait and then letting it rest.

Don't know why it works so well, but the Strike King mini-king in black in blue (single colorado) absolutely slays fish up here in Canada. Everything from bluegill to crappie to bass, pike and even walleye, that thing outfishes every other colour, it's almost stupid. If a youngster is just starting out with a spinning rod, I'd be hard pressed to recommend a better search bait. As a result, I picked up a couple Lunkerhunts in 'Dark Knight' and started swapping blades. Batta-bing, batta boom, bigger fish.

I’m a beginner fisherman as far as freshwater. So far my favorite lures are spinners. I love just tossing them out and recalling them in. Not a lot to it technique wise. I’ve caught all types of fish on them and all sizes. First fish a caught was baby, I’m not sure how he even got it in his mouth. Anyway great information as always.

@masfishing1 3 года назад

Gene, great info. I appreciate you giving us bank fisherman tips/info when your talking about how to fish the spinnerbait. My question is, since im a bank angler i usually carry 3 rods, sometimes 4. So one of my do everything rods is 7-2 Shimano Zodias MH fast tip. (I dont own any moderate action rods. I usually carry a spinning rod for finesse, my mh zodias and my med action jerkbait rod. Sometimes i carry a heavy rod or another spinning rod) I know u said moderate action, but can i still be successful with this Zodias MH fast tip rod? Ive never caught a bass on a spinnerbait but im going to try to force myself to throw the 3 spinnerbaits i own more often. I use my Zodias for chatterbaits which i think is similar to spinnerbaits as far as what gear i can poss use?

@Jagarchitect 4 года назад

@Lithirrael 4 года назад

I have a 6ft 6in Medium, Fast action rod. Would that be okay for spinnerbaits? I just started fishing this year and have been constantly watching your videos! They are very helpful! How important is it to have a specific rod for a certain bait? I think I might have missed it in the video, but what line/test do you use?

@Eyesofthasouth 4 года назад

Lithirrael perfect for 1/4 ounce spinnerbaits. Will work for 3/8 too. For 3/8 to 1/2 I would suggest going to a medium heavy with a soft tip. I prefer the shorter rods like 6’ 6 or 6’ 8, easier to get in tight spots and more accurate casts.

@Lithirrael 4 года назад

@@Eyesofthasouth Right now I'm looking at some medium heavy rods. A lot of debate about fast, moderate fast, or moderate. Any recommendations?

@Eyesofthasouth 4 года назад

Lithirrael sure. What’s ur budget for a rod? Dobyns Fury 703 - $120 Falcon Bucoo Finesse Jig 6’10 - $100 Falcon Lowrider same specs as bucoo Dobyns Sierra 683 for spinnerbaits up to 3/8 ounce - $160 Dobyns SierrA 684 or 704 for 3/8 to 1/2 ounce Dobyns medium heavy rods fish more like mediums. St croix fast action rods are great too. Look at the weight specs on rods. Whatever lure weight you’re wanting to throw needs to be close to middle of the specs. For instance 1/4 to 3/4 rating on a rod. A 3/8 ounce spinnerbait is the most you want to throw on it. Medium for up to 3/8, medium heavy for above.

@Eyesofthasouth 4 года назад

Bass pro bionic blade is also a really good rod for a great price. Medium fast for 1/4 to 3/8 and medium heavy fast for 3/8 to 1/2. And if you’re looking for a reel the bass pro qualifier is a great reel. Now on sale for holidays. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better reel.

@Shawn_Lai 4 года назад

Ah that makes sense. Was there a particular reason for making these changes or to simplify? Some older videos, you discussed using a snell knot for flipping verse palomar (I saw the ike video where he discussed it too) but a recent video you indicated that you didn't do that anymore. Just curious if you honed in on your techniques or if simplifying your bait assortment made it easier. I often find myself at an impasse when buying lures and wanting to expand my colors beyond confidence colors (shad, chartreuse, white, black) but then it's hard to find a time to use them because I would prefer a confidence color. Sorry for writing a book, maybe this will be for a Friday Night Live question!

@paulrowe4502 4 года назад

Fluke, if you had to identify one or two keys, aside from just throwing one a million times, what was the difference maker in it becoming an effective bait for you?

@rbrooke2379 4 года назад

Same here.

@Eyesofthasouth 4 года назад

Find bank side cover. Stumps, treetops, overhanging limbs, Lilly pads etc. Cast out lure past areas that seem like bass would be holding and waiting to ambush prey as it passes. Make a low cast for soft entry. Give your rod a short and quick jerk to get the blades moving. Keep your rod tip up and start reeling at a moderate fast pace until you see the spinnerbait in the water. Slow down and maintain eye contact with the bait where you can barely see it. Bring bait along side cover as if it were a baitfish. Lower your rod slowly as the bait gets closer to you. A little above parallel to the water gives you more hook setting power when one takes it. Don’t be afraid to get close to cover. It’s great for that and one heck of a adrenaline rush when you’re watching the spinnerbait as it swims along and then a bass reaches up; inhales it and runs with it! Set the hook and let the fight begin! Hope this helps
