- Spinnerbaits are some of the best fishing lures for largemouth and smallmouth bass, but also for other predator fishes like northern pike, bowfin, and musky. Spinnerbaits are tossed into shallow water during the pre-spawn and post-spawn, or slow-rolled in deep water to catch those lazy summer bass down deep. This video discusses how to fish spinnerbaits, spinnerbait tips, and includes lots of underwater footage of spinnerbaits to understand how these fishing lures work.

Great video. Underwater footage is great. No annoying background music. No unnecessary rambling; just clear, concise, good information. Thank you.
Thank you for the feedback - I appreciate it 🙂
I appreciate the direct information, without a 4 minute intro of nonsense
Thanks for the feedback.
Your underwater footage is *extremely* helpful! This has given me a much better understanding of what I feel through the rod during the retrieve. (I have never yet caught a fish with a spinnerbait. I'll keep trying...)
Thanks for the feedback. You'll get one - keep trying!
Best video ive seen in a while. Definitely watched the entire thing and gonna subscribe
Thanks - I have many more similar videos on other types of baits. Check out this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLcXAWxBLRzoJOC73i8r56wb8cKhgSJO8f.html
Your videos are the best fishing videos I can find to this day. Good job and thank you.
Thanks - I appreciate that
I love spinnerbaits for bass. That gold/silver one you showed is beautiful.
I like the gold and silver combination and yeah, that's my favorite spinnerbait.
What a perfect video, no nonsense straight to business. All questions answered
Awesome - thank you for sharing this feedback. I'm so glad to hear it answered all of your questions!
The underwater footage and details to education make this channel a wonderful place that doesn't get enough attention. My girl was super confused about why I use certain lures and where... I showed her this channel and now we bet on who can catch more fish.
Kudos to you fishing brethren 🍻
Thanks for taking the time to share this comment. Good luck to you both!
super clear and consise content, love it.
Thanks
Excellent video on spinnerbaits. One of my go-to lures for sure. I love inline spinners, but when there's more vegetation around this becomes a better choice for me.
Thanks. Same here - a Mepps Comet is one of my favorite lures, but when the plants get thick, I move to a spinnerbait.
Great footage and explanation! I learned more here than on many vids by the pros.
Great - thanks for the feedback!
Best video first video I’ve clicked great information should do one on the buzzbait too
Thanks. I'll make a note about a buzzbait topic. I'm working on several others at the moment.
In all honesty, I fish more inline spinners than I do spinnerbaits, but some of the hardest bites I've ever had came on a Johnson Beetle Spin and a small spinner bait that I can't remember the brand (Colorado blade, though). Nice video and underwater footage.
I use inline spinners a lot, but switch to a spinnerbait when there is more vegetation that would get hung up on an inline. Check out our similar video on inline spinners: th-cam.com/video/eZNCHrgcM14/w-d-xo.html
Good video thanks for info.
Thanks
Ty sir. Learning so much from you.
Great to hear - thank you for the comment.
Very informative!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
I have a Strike King midnight spinnerbait that came with a black Colorado blade and black skirt with red fleck. I've had it for over 15 years, and I just recently replaced the skirt. It has caught the majority of my fish over those years.
I'm in PA, and generally prefer darker baits. I've caught bass on bluegill colors, and only once with a white spinnerbait. But that could just be because of my preference for dark baits, as I always start with my go-to.
Happy fishing!
Good feedback - thanks. It sounds like you've found a winning color pattern!
Great info. Thanks
Glad it was helpful to you. Thanks for the comment and good luck fishing!
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
Thank you. To the point.
Thanks - I appreciate the comment.
Good video!
Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Perfect well done!
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks!
I appreciate the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Biggest bass I ever caught (12lbs) was on a mini strike king spinner bait and ultra-light tackle. I have been a fan ever since.
Cool. My first musky was caught on an ultralight. I like the mini Strike King spinnerbaits. I just caught a few bass and a nice pike on one yesterday.
Sir, would you mind telling me a few words about the zerek colaredo spinner bait weight 28 gm approximately.? How good this lure is.
Love these, occasionally you'll point out a brand or 2 that you use/like but I didn't catch any in this video. Could you give some recommendations?
My go-to spinnerbait around here is a white/yellow or bluegill pattern with two blades - one gold, one silver. I have a couple from River2Sea with a gold Indiana blade and a silver Colorado blade, and those are my favorites. I also like smaller spinnerbaits with a single Colorado blade for working slower in cooler water.
Another good tip is too spread the wire frame apart thatll keep the willow blade from hitting the nose
True
I've never used a trailer bait, good to know to just try out. Spinner bait is probably my favorite goto, I've caught probably every species in my local lake on them except a cat fish, and carp. I feel like a cat fish will probably hit it eventually.
They will. Cats are pretty aggressive and will come well off the bottom to hit a bait.
I caught a catfish on spinner bait in a pond last week, he hit it hard
Will it work at night sir? As fish will not see its flash.
Yes, they will work at night. Spinnerbaits make a lot of vibration and they can attract fish with that, even if they can't see the flash. I've caught big walleyes on black spinnerbaits in the dark.
Thanks a lot.
@@enlightment5082 Glad to help
@@enlightment5082around the start of spring big large mouth bass were crushing this spinner bait I had with a silver Willow blade near the bottom and gold near the top with black blue and silver skirt. Picked the closest one at meijer I could find to a bluegill
1/4 ounce gold willow blade whte black gold fleck... shallow 8 inches to 16 inches along bank ive gotten some giants 3lbs 4 lbs at night slammin.. mornings i may go all black or white with trailer
Cool - thanks for the comment
I use a Black spinnerbait on dark days or low light.....think contrast/silhoette.
That's a good idea. I caught a huge walleye when I was a teenager, using a black spinnerbait with orange blades well after midnight.
Through how much deep, it should be dragged? Along the bottom or in the upper layer of the water where sunlight is available?
Spinnerbaits work anywhere from the surface to the bottom. Sometimes the big fish will be hanging around the bottom and slow-rolling a spinnerbait just above the bottom is a good way to get them.
Happy to know this.
Nat thanks for the video, you helped me a lot on spinner baits. Could you please tell me about the ugly stick. How long is the rod and what size line and then especially the limit on the weight weight the rod will handle . Is the rod fast action tip? What size reel? I will really appreciate the info. Yhanks
With spinnerbaits I'm usually using my MH Ugly Stik Carbon 7' fast. It's a 1/4-3/4oz rod but I've thrown 1 1/4oz lures with it and it handles them fine. It has a Diawa Regal LT 2500 spinning reel with 30lb braid. I also use this rod with Texas rigs and frogs.
Nat, thanks. I have a 7' med/ heavy ugly stick . 8-20 line weight . Doesn't specify wether it' fast action or what weight limits as far as baits to use . It's a shakespear rod . I have a okuma ,stratus [ 55 } 5000 spin reel , Does this make a good , and is fast action or how do you tell ? So also what would the lure weight be . I fish from the river bank., don't have a boat. I keep learning from your videos , but the questions I have here I don't know answers, Thanks, !!
@@bobcragle8124 if it's a medium-heavy rod, the lure weight is probably between 1/4oz and 1oz. Also probably a fast action if it doesn't say otherwise. It looks like your Okuma Stratus 55 reel is rated for 10-15lb line so that's a good combination with that rod. Those ratings are based on the thickness of 10-15lb monofilament so you could put heavier braided line on if you want to. 30lb braid would still be thinner than 15lb mono.
Thanks so much for your help my friend. Happy Thanksgiving !!!! Bob@@FishingwithNat
@@bobcragle8124 Of course. Good luck fishing!
I have a spinner bait with a trailer hook already on it. Do you recommend putting a soft plastic on the trailer hook?
The soft plastic would go on the main hook, and then you would slide the trailer hook on. You can also use spinnerbaits without soft plastic trailers at all.
@@FishingwithNat Thanks. I appreciate it. I saw that you also fish for pike. I've been trying to get into pike fishing. f you don't mind, can you tell me what set up you recommend?
@@doanut300 I mostly use a medium or medium heavy spinning rod with 15-20lb braid for pike. I'll use either a thin steel leader or 30lb monofilament/fluorocarbon leader. Favorite baits would be spinners like the Mepps Aglia #3 to #5 or a Mepps Comet #3 to #5. Spinnerbaits and topwater baits like Whopper Ploppers and frogs are also great for pike.
How is zerek colaredo spinner bait, Sir? Have you used it?
I haven't used that particular one, but Colorado blades are my favorite. I like how slow they can be worked.
@@FishingwithNat I have watched a video on this spinner, best result for snakehead.
It there a specific way knot them onto a rod?
Pretty much any type of knot will work fine with a spinnerbait. The type of line you're attaching to it will affect the best knot to use. Check out this quick video on when to use different knots and why: th-cam.com/video/rdx_9P7a3N0/w-d-xo.html
I caught a 2.5 foot pacific halibut with a spinner bait once.
Haha cool. First time I've heard of a halibut being caught on a spinnerbait!
Does it work in muddy surf? At night?
Spinnerbaits can work well in muddy water or at night because of the intense flash and vibration they give off. They aren't the best in surf because the blade will tend to break the surface and stop spinning. You'll want to keep it down lower in the water so it doesn't pop out of the surf.
Does Spinner bait works For Gafftop?
I've heard of spinnerbaits being used for gafftop cats but I think live bait or jigs are better options.
Spinnerbait and river or stream or creek equals instant fish
Would you use bait or ?
No need for live bait on a spinnerbait, but adding a plastic grub or minnow trailer usually helps.
Pike slam these spinners if you’re trolling in northern MI.
Absolutely. Spinnerbaits are great for pike.
Poor bro does not get the attention he deserves
Thanks 🙂
Ouuuuiii @0:20 some seconds in ....I actually have that spinner bait in my TB
It's a good one
