Inline Spinner Fishing Lure Tips and How To Fish Spinners (underwater fishing lures)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- Inline spinners are incredibly effective fishing lures and good fishing lures for beginners. They are inexpensive compared to many other lure types, but reliably catch fish in all conditions. There is a wide variety of spinners made by companies like Mepps, Blue Fox, and Yakima Bait (Rooster Tails). Here we talk about the many types of in-line spinners, how to use inline spinners, when to use them, and how they work with underwater footage.
Spinners highlighted in this video:

Your videos are absolutely high quality! Everything thing is well done: the information, the presentation, narration, the camera work, audio, and you get right to the point. Thank you for your time!
Thanks so much for the comment. I put a lot of work into these videos and it's nice to see that recognized. :)
So to clarify, @@FishingwithNat, you would recommend a swivel over an anti-kink vane? I used to have serious issues with kinking line, so since returning to lure fishing at the start of the pandemic, I've always used anti-kink vanes rather than swivels.
Mine are clear, hopefully low visibility, and are always mounted 12" - 18" up the line from my wire traces; for traces, I use the smallest, lightest ones possible, as I do fish in areas that produce Pike, while at the same time not wanting to spook the Trout...
@@NobleKorhedron Either way will reduce line twist. An anti-kink vane will probably outlast most swivels because a swivel can rust or corrode over time and lose its ability to spin internally and fight line twist. But a vane is much more conspicuous and may spook fish more than a swivel would. I prefer swivels, personally.
I completely understand your point about the vane, @@FishingwithNat; are there any particular small - medium swivels you'd recommend that will resist rust well in freshwater?
If it matters at all, I mainly use Flambeau Z-Rust lure boxes for storage of everything but individual jig heads.
@@NobleKorhedron I like the stainless steel VMC swivels www.cabelas.com/shop/en/vmc-stainless-steel-rolling-swivel
The only spinner I use for trout is a Panther Martin. I’ve tried plenty but day in and day out, Panthers have produced thousands of trout for me from Washington State, Oregon, California Sierras to Tennessee! I’m convinced that they are the best spinners on earth!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
My son turned me into a spinner fan !! Who would have thought that 15yr would teach his momma some new tricks 😝. I absolutely love mepps! And roostertails. I’ve been slaying them this year with them and caught some real monsters.
Both of those are excellent lures. I rarely leave home without both of them.
Panther Martin black body with yellow body and gold blade….nuff said!
@@tomcat122200 Yellow spinners with gold blades are some of my most productive baits ever on the rivers around here.
Spinners and spoons and I have a box of grubs and jigs, I have a sling bag I carry, I used black and orange fury today and I caught white bass/sand bass, and a nice large mouth, those are the only lures I use, I also have a catfish box, but you can catch about anything on those lures multi species, it was overcast today.
love this!!!
Caught a small striped bass in my local river today. Too small for food but it was my second fish ever so a nice confidence booster on my in-line spinner. Thanks Nat :)
Awesome - way to go!
Anything is fun! Congrats
Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
Thanks for watching
I remember an epic moment early this spring with a 1/4 oz rooster tail. A rainbow trout bit a fly off the top of the water. I casted right at him, reeled in a tiny bit, and felt a thud. It was a nice 2 lb rainbow
Awesome
Mepps black fury in red spots on black is my all time favorite . I have had walleye, Bass, pike and Muskie on a #3.
It's a great lure. I use it all the time.
thank you Nat, I love your videos, clear, simple to understand, and direct to the point, apreciate it.
Great - thanks for this feedback
junior angler here. this was perfect. thanks so much
I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for the comment
They catch everything
I absolutely love the Mepp's Aglia. My favorite is the 1/6 oz with the willow blade and orange glow in the dark treble hook shank cover. No hair skirt needed. If there's a lure that I would choose to use, to guarantee that I catch fish that day, it would definitely be the 1/6 oz Mepp's Aglia. It'll catch sunfish, perch, bass, and even pike species. It's a very effective and very affordable lure.
Agreed. An Aglia or Rooster Tail have always produced fish for me. I am always shocked when people tell me that they've never used a spinner or never caught anything on one.
I believe that is an aglia long . Any Mepps is awesome
@@garysavala665 Yeah the Aglia Long models have the willow blade for more depth. Mepps makes great stuff.
Works for salmon
My favorites are the Mepps Agila dressed, Panther Martin Classic, and Yakima Rooster Tail
Those are all excellent
Great video. No bs all info. Learned a lot in a short amount of time. Thanks man
Thanks - that's my style. No need for fluff - just get to the point.
I grew up casting Rooster Tails for trout in Central NJ. I have a good assortment of sizes now and use them to catch just about any fish that swims…largemouth, smallmouth, perch, northern pike in Ontario, trout. I have some huge ones for musky, but I haven’t thrown them 10,000 times yet.
Throw them a few thousand more times and you'll get one!
Great information, I really like using spinners because they work really well for catching bass, pike, bluegill, trout… pretty much anything! Great job on this video, I love the underwater shots of the spinners!
I never go fishing without a few spinners in my box. They are definitely some of my favorite lures.
You should see my box, @@FishingwithNat; I have a Flambeau model 5007(or possibly 5005) with Z-Rust inserts.
It's divided into the following sections
* hooks/disgorgers/snips/scissors
* small/medium plugs
* medium/large plugs
* floating topwater lures
* slow-sinking topwater lures/poppers
* small/medium spinners
* medium/large spinners
* Flying C spinners (mainly for salmonids)
* Tasmanian Devils
* Chatterbaits
* Minnows
* spare anti-kink vanes
And those are just the sections I remember off-hand...
I have another entire 5005(possibly 5007) box I always carry with all of my soft lures of various kinds; paddle tails, ribbon tails, shads, etc.
I've had a lot of success with Blue-Fox Vibrax , i think they "rattle" a little bit which helps get the fishes attention. Also , Celta (great spinner and easy to replace the hook) . Spinners don't necessarily allways have to be shiny though. I've had a lot of success using black spinners.
Definitely. There are a lot of spinners with painted blades instead of polished metal. I like the Vibrax spinners too - I remember as a kid I would go to a small creek that flowed into the river near my house and cast a Vibrax minnow spin. The number of big rock bass and largemouth I would catch there on the Vibrax spinner was just unbelievable.
Concise, well informed, quality content is so hard to find. Thank you!
Thank you - I appreciate you taking the time to leave this feedback.
Extremely well done! My tackle box isn't completed unless I've got some Mepps spinners in it and it was nice seeing each style compared.
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Mine either I love mepps aglias and comet minnows
As one who has fun making their own inline spinners, this was a SUPER helpful video!! I actually made several of mine with weedless hooks exactly like shown in the video. Kinda feeling unoriginal now. 😅
Thanks for the comment. That sounds like fun to make your own inline spinners. Do you dress the hooks or leave them empty?
@@FishingwithNat treble hooks I’ll leave bare simply because I don’t know how to tie on “feathers” or “hair”
I bought a kit with pre dressed hooks for that.
If I build one with a weedless hook, I’m tossing on what ever the fish are feeling like. My fave, though I have yet to catch anything with them, is these curly tail grubs with glow in the dark tails! Small rubber minnows or rubber frogs are good too. 😁 pike love them some spinner frogs come mid/late summer. 🎣
@@diaryofagoat-lass1023 Cool. It's hard to beat the classic and inexpensive curly-tail grub.
@@diaryofagoat-lass1023 Look into fly tying, it’s actually really easy and great fun! You need a vise, scissors, thread, a bobbin, and some glue, and the variety of hair and fur up you can attach is endless.
I had a big Mepps weed master and that thing caught me more pike than any other lure I’ve ever owned. It was bright pink which is what I found so hilarious about it.
I snagged it on a submerged root and have been looking for one in a shop for months.
It's a great spinner for tossing through sparse vegetation. Not easy to find in a store though!
Excellent video!
Black and silver Roostertail. Pike, walleye, crappie, black bass, white bass, channel cat, sauger, flathead, perch. It's my all time favorite and most productive artificial bait
It's hard to beat a Rooster tail! It's one of my favorite baits too.
Great vid. The vibrax bullet type spinners have always done well for me
Thanks. That was my favorite lure as a kid. I used to pull some huge rock bass out of the local stream with it.
When I make my own Inline spinners, I find most kits you buy never have enough brass to make them heavy enough for effective casting or depth, so I make my favourite hybrid inline spinners, where the top is standard spinner fair bot the bottom, I attach a small minnow head jig and slip a nice juicy curly tail on, especially if it has a glow in the dark tail. Good casting weight and the pike just can’t ignore them.
I made some double blade spinners this time and I think I did not too bad. Silver+green and Red+gold, paired respectively with blue silver and hi vis orange curly tails.
Very cool
Panther Martin & Rooster Tail have brought me the most "luck" for Trout in streams.
Hard to beat either of those!
Panther martin yellow with red in murky and black with yellow in clear water are what I use for trout, those 2 are significantly more effective than my other ones.
Cool, thanks for sharing
Spinners are a blast, and I agree they're a great choice for the beginner angler -- especially because they attract such a variety of fish.
Mepp's are great, but can be pricey, especially if you're learning where/where not to throw spinners. I would add to your comments that even cheap spinners catch fish, so don't be afraid to throw something like Walmart's South Bend value pack or whatever is most budget-sensitive for you.
Great video -- thanks for sharing!
Totally agree! I would say Mepps' spinners and Rooster Tails are the cream of the crop, but a lot of other brands will catch plenty of fish too. I have had luck with South Bend spinners, Panther Martins, Blue Fox, and others.
You can try blue fox flash . Cheap and the bass love them
Can confirm about learning where not to throw hahaha. Got mine stuck around a tree branch 15-20 feet above the water and broke it off while yanking on it. It will be dangling there for quite some time to remind me of that day.
I’m learning to kayak fish and figured if I get a lure stuck I’d be able to paddle over and remove it. Gonna have to diy a 10 ft ladder onto the yak somehow hahaha
I absolutely love my spinners as they rarely disappoint. The Blue Fox Vibrax are my favorites, but little Meps and Worden's Roosters are nice too.
When I was a kid I threw spinners almost every time I went fishing because they so reliably caught fish for me. Smallmouth, largemouth, rock bass, and pike. I fished for years without really even learning how to use other baits because I never saw a reason to change my lure!
Blue Fox, Rooster Tails, and Spin N' Glo's are my go-to lures. Fox & Rooster Tails are my fav's for trout and Foxes & Spin N' Glo's for salmon
It's hard to beat a rooster tail. I have a ton of those things.
Rewatching this video. Again, very well done. And thanks for reminding me what to do. I'm in smallmouth country and these work excellent on them.🎉🎉
Nice breakdown of these spinners. Your selection is almost exactly what I have in my tacklebox. A few sizes of Mepps aglia in (rainbow FTW), a couple small rooster tails, and a perch or shiner comet. I can fish any stream with those around here in the north east.
You bet. Those are all awesome. The rainbow trout pattern Aglias are great too.
I had a spinner once.
Only once?
Then I took an arrow to the knee.
I lost one just a couple days ago and nearly went for a swim trying to get it back 😂
That's great. 👍🏻
😁
Thanks, Nat.
Excellent vid. 👍🏼
I've not been using in-line spinners recently.
Time to try them again.
They are fantastic lures. Thanks for the comment.
these videos are great thankyou very much 🥰😍🤩
Great - thank you
Love mepps, caught a 40+ inch pike the other day with a green one
Awesome
Mepps Nr. 5 Aglia in Gold is my absolut Pike and Perch Killer in my home waters over here in Europe, can only recommend! Its always my last lure to fish on every fishing day.
That's one of my absolute favorite spinners too. The pike and musky around here smash it.
No words! What a content!!
Thanks - I appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
This is the most thorough and well presented video I’ve seen on this subject thank you very much sir
Thank you - I appreciate the comment.
Awesome underwater footage!
Thanks!
Joe's Flies "White Miller" with a single trailer hook #1 spoon. I've caught 5lb 14oz Large mouth Bass on it and all species in cold water streams.
Cool - I haven't heard of that one
I fish smallmouth bass, and this lure is kind of like my “wacky worm”. Whenever no other lure is working, I’m throwing on a rooster tail
You bet. I've caught countless smallies on rooster tails
Of all the considerable choice out there, only Joe's Flies Potomac Coachman (nickel blade) has come close to Mepps Aglia for lake trout in my experience here in British Columbia. Great video, thanks.
Cool - I've tried other spinners but I keep coming back to the Aglia and the Rooster Tail. I hadn't yet heard of the one you mentioned.
Panther Martin has left the chat
Panther Martin makes some nice spinners. I really like my Rooster Tails and Mepps spinners though.
You're doing great work!! Thank you 😁
Thanks - I appreciate it
Shockingly I say it...this presentation grants PHD diploma in spinning lures _ techniques and tips, a crow bar effects (eyes opener) on these guys who already claim ,, years of experience "🤣 pleasantly devastated, I'm watching 👀 your show over and over .. all the best from pacific north west👍
Thanks - I appreciate your comment. More to come...
Mepps #2 & #3 dressed with a tri colored (white, yellow & green) blade for Northern & Bass
A solid choice
Yeah, I did switch to a comet but too late.... 🤣 awesome video.
Next time you'll know better!
love Joes Flies spinners. Although my Thomas Spinner 4 gold beads and an orange bead(Trout lure) SLAY PIKE . I use 6# test on a 5'6 ultra light Mitchel 300(Old) reel or ambassador 5500 with 15# lead core. Mepps Aguila are go to as well.
It's hard to beat the fun of ultralight fishing with spinners.
Rooster tail is my favorite. Fishing them my whole life
You can't go wrong with a rooster tail. They are excellent.
Great info! Perfect. No fuss.
Thanks - I appreciate the comment.
Thank you for this info and god bless
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
-Panther Martin spinners are trout getters.
Blue Fox Musky Buck is superb for pike & lunge.
An oldie was the JuneBug spinner with a single weedless hook & a nightcrawler thru the coontail & cabbage.
I luv your videos too...Fish On !
@@danreid6712 All good recommendations. Tight lines!
good job Nat , as usual
Thank you
This really helped me with all the info and hardware Thanks
Thanks for the comment.
A swivel usually don't help much. You can use off center head weight to avoid line twist, such as the Mepps Lusox do.
A swivel can help but only if it's a decent quality one. Cheaper swivels will get jammed or rusted and the whole swivel will spin with the lure.
I tend to run a 3g cheb weight in front of my spinner to help it run a little deeper. This also helps because if i decide to vary the speed or add small/short pauses to my retrieve. The cheb will help the blade keep some momentum as it pulls the spinner deeper into the water. Some of my best pike were caught using this method.
The only real downside is you find that due to where the weight is located (in front of the lure...) the lure will often end up with one of the hooks on the treble wrapped over the leader/trace so requires a second of untangling after you wind it back in, but so long as you feather the lure with a finger on the spool before it hits the water when you cast. Everything should be just fine as it gives the lure time to straighten out before it hits the water.
But you could just bypass all this by getting a heavier lure but that costs money.
(you could try a 5 or 7g cheb weight but i've never had to. 3g is what works for me!)
Good feedback - thanks!
This is genious!
Great video 🤙🏽
Thanks
All I fish with almost is spinners in pa it’s been consistently good for all species! I use them to troll on me canoe
Cool. Spinners are some of my most reliable lures.
Caught 3 bass today back to back with the black and gold.
Very nice
Greetings from Northern Ireland......subscribed
Thanks!
very good lure, thank you very much for sharing videos that are very useful for anglers
Thanks for the comment.
Got my first ever pike and walleye on these
Cool. I caught my largest walleye (28") on an inline spinner, and countless pike. They can't resist a #5 Mepps.
In North Italy we use a lot trailers, they work great with perch.
Cool. What kinds of trailers do you put on them?
@@FishingwithNat any bright colour grub with sparkle works fine. But as I don't like rubber because it tends to melt paint and plastic of others lures, I started to use very fluffy dressed treble hooks and they work fine too especially in the river, bucktails and woolly worms are very easy to make and very effective with panfish like perch.
@@monicabello3527 Cool - thanks for the feedback.
See that coho bolo, the best lure of the lot, caught thousands of salmon and steelhead with that lure.
Cool. It's great for pike too.
Great video, thanks! I really like rooster tails and panther martins. I have all the supplies to build my own but haven't started yet. On the list before river salmon and fall pike fishing gets going
Definitely - both of those are great. Essential baits to have for fall salmon and pike!
Trust me when I say this, once you start making your own you will continue and have a lot of fun with it. I have been making my own and they work great!
@@erichildreth7562 I haven't made any of my own yet but I've seen some very neat homemade spinners and it looks like fun to make them.
@@FishingwithNat it is fun and it really is rewarding when you catch some nice fish with your own homemade spinners. You just need some basic hand tools and a pair of round nose pliers. Hit me up if you have questions.
@@erichildreth7562 Sounds like a fun winter project!
Love this video! My goto for trout is thomas brand inlines. My goto for big fish is mepps #4 and #5!!
I'm tying up a Mepps #4 chartreuse and a Mepps #5 black fury right now for a pike/musky trip tomorrow. They never fail me.
@@FishingwithNat good luck we have been tearing up channel catfish on the #5 and #4s
@@joaotorres2810 Cool. Are you running them near the bottom? I've had cats take my crankbaits all the time but I've only ever caught one cat on a spinner.
New sub channel is very informative thanks for sharing
Great - thanks for your comment.
Any style Panther Martin was my favorite for everything
Those are good spinners too
Very Nice - Thanks!
😎👍
Thanks for the feedback!
Ive has the best luck with the Panther Martin in line spinners and spinners with Red Hooks
Thanks for the feedback
How do they not fall in the ground and carry all the dirt from there?
You need to retrieve the bait quickly enough to keep it off of the bottom. The spinner blade helps keep it high in the water during a retrieve.
Great video, very informative 👍
Thank you
Panther Martin are great trout lures. Roadrunner jig
Agreed. Thanks for the feedback.
Great video. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
For pike, I've always have had pretty good luck with a mepps aglia 4 and a plastic grub.
Do you put it right on the treble hook or on a stinger hook?
@@FishingwithNat Right on the treble. Usually a white Mister Twister.
@@garskoci Interesting!
Almost everytime I use these I catch something. Mepps are wonderful.
Same here - I love spinners.
If you take a pair of needle nose pliers and bend the line tie loop 30°, it'll keep your line from twisting.
This one's free
Interesting. I will give that a try.
Yesterday around evening i fished in the canal with a Mepps Lusox 2. Couldn't catch anything till i switched it with a gold Mepps Musky Killer. After few casts i had a follower and after two more cast i finally caught a nice pike! I'm already in love with the Mepps Musky Killer. The only down point is that despite its weight (15 grams), you cant cast that far. I think the bucktail and the bigger blade catching to much wind that causes for some resistance in the air.
What kind of rod and line were you using? A lighter rod and/or line would allow for longer casts.
@@FishingwithNat i'm using a "Fox Rage Prism X lure and shad" rod with a casting weight of 10 - 50 grams. Length of the rod is 2.40m. Using 0.09mm X8 braid. Do you have other suggestions?
@@killuminatii1 That sounds like a heavy action rod, which usually inhibits casting ability. 10-50grams would be 1/3-ounce to 1 3/4 ounce, which is pretty heavy. Are you sure on the 0.09mm line measurement - that would be really light. For example, 20lb Diawa X8 braid is 0.23mm.
@Fishing with Nat Its a fast action spinning rod and not that heavy... 10 - 50 grams is for small and medium lures. Yes i have spiderwire smooth x8 with a diameter of 0.09mm. Its a pretty thin but strong line. It has a draw weight of 16.5 lb. With thinner line you cast farther right?
@@killuminatii1 Yes, thinner lines will cast farther, especially when paired with a flexible, lighter rod. Stiff, heavy rods and thicker lines do not cast very well, especially with lighter lures. I haven't used that specific braid before, but I have had certain lines really decrease my casting distance (like Fireline Crystal). I now use Sufix 832 braid on all of my braided reels, which is much quieter and casts a ton farther.
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the feedback.
Mepps #3 all white, gold blades.. or purple or pink... trust me big smallies
It's hard to beat a #3 mepps
Subscribed. Excellent content
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Ive never had any luck pr skill with spinners rooster tails or mepps specifically
Those are both some of my most successful lures!
Cool vids, just got back into it. All these vids really help me out. Used to only just use spinners but crank baits feel the best. Get more bass with cranks, dont like pikes lol
They can be a pain but they sure are fun. Cranks and spinners are both awesome baits.
Where I'm from the pike are on steroids. Their teeth are wayyy too intimidating.
@@Akon-D Their teeth are nasty. I've had big ones cut 50lb fluorocarbon leader. Sometimes it seems the only thing that won't get cut by pike is steel wire.
In the late sixties, I used the Mepps Aglia, usually from a boat, because it was so light, you couldn't cast it far from the shore. (from shore, a quarter oz gold Kastmaster worked)
Lately though, the old reliable yellow Rooster Tail.💯
A yellow Rooster Tail is killer for me too. It will catch anything.
a size 2 mepps comet is 7 grams , more old people that talk nonsense
#5 chartreuse Aglia black fury!
That's a killer bait!
My favorite in line spinner is one with a fish on it
Those are the best
I find size 4 to be large enough to cast and small enough for seatrout to take it. Anything below size3 has never worked for me. I didn’t use spinners much at all, because of the line twist, but since they do work, I have stopped caring.
A size 4 is a really nice lure for larger fish. I've caught rainbow trout and brook trout on a size 00 but you have to be using an ultralight with 2lb or 4 lb line or you'll never be able to cast it.
How would you attach a trailing spinner? Like one at the end of a long musky bucktail? Barrel Swivel maybe?
You could attach it with a swivel and a split ring. It might need a bit of leader line to get it far enough back beyond the tail and out of the main blade's turbulence. There are also trailer hooks that you can add, and some of those come with swivels and blades.
Hey Nat, much apreciated your videos, very helpfull to those willing to take fishing one step further. I am yet to give spinners a chance, got some 3-4 grams Panther Martin though, and I was wondering if I can add a split shot or two for extra weight and if that will affect the spinner in a negative way, would appreciate your advice.
Regards,
Florin
You can add a split shot ahead of a spinner for extra casting distance or to fish deeper/faster without impacting the spinner's action. I would keep it at least 8-10 inches ahead of the bait though for a more natural appearance.
@FishingwithNat Thanks for your reply Nat, I will give it a try next time.
Regards,
Florin
Mepps spinners are the best
One of my best confidence baits for sure
The think I never understand is using the feather or not covering the hook
Sometimes it work but most of the time I just go for nothing at all when fishing in Colorado
I prefer the dressed spinners (with the skirt of hair/feathers). I rarely use the undressed spinners but I know they still work.
This was awesome thanks so much! Definitely gave me some ideas. Do you have an opinion on the Mepps Bronze Slammer?
I haven't used the Bronze Slammer myself, but I am rarely disappointed by a Mepps spinner. They make good stuff and I appreciate that their headquarters is right here in Wisconsin.
My favorite is a gold spin spoon 😁
Do you have one in particular that you like best?
@@FishingwithNat Johnson minnow spoons swivels and blades 🙄 primary hook 2 inches or three a treble hook
My favorite spinner is one I made myself
Awesome
I bend a 45 degree angle right below the eye and it eliminates the bait spinning. You kind of have to find the sweet spot but once you do you can fish the bait ALL day without line twist.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I have gotta try this. Do you bend it with the eye vertical or horizontal ?
@@mattbastubee5255 vertical.
@@petemoore8923 Thanks, saved me some experiment time. Going out tomorrow and am going to give it a try.
@@mattbastubee5255 Let us know how it worked for you and what kind of spinner you used!
Do you think rigging a grub trailer of some kind onto a musky spinner is feasible? I've seen examples where the grub is rigged through the treble.
Some people do it. Unless it's perfectly centered on the treble, it can create uneven drag and result in the entire lure spinning around and potentially overwhelming the swivel. I generally don't like adding any kind of trailer to an inline spinner. I opt for a spinner with a dressed hook for a similar appearance without the unbalanced effect of adding a trailer on one of the hooks.
These lures catch every thing
I agree
The king of all spinners is the Panther Martin.
Good stuff
#2 Panther Martin about 3.5 gm for rainbow trout. Just about everything else is too big.
Solid choice.
nice video .. can we use spinner bait in the sea for shore or rock fishing and what we do if the sea become more windy ?
Spinners can be used in the sea along the shore or rocks. If the sea becomes rough/windy, I'd switch to fresh bait on the bottom with a heavy sinker rig.
thanks very much
@@FishingwithNat thanks very much
@@zakariahussainanwarhasson4577 Glad I could help.
Mepp’s # 5 is the best Northern Pike invented. IMHO
I would absolutely agree - Aglias and Comets. Both are great for musky too.
That Pike , " Fishes fall for this ".
Lots of fishes will fall for a spinner
Mepps are he best
Some of my favorites for sure
