Inline Spinner Fishing Lure Tips and How To Fish Spinners (underwater fishing lures)

Рет қаралды 320,289

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.

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...

@FishingwithNat Жыл бұрын

@@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.

@NobleKorhedron Жыл бұрын

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.

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 kzfaq.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 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.

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.

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!)

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.

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.

@FishingwithNat 10 ай бұрын

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.

I don't think that would work very well. You could attach a blade to the Zerak by just adding something like this www.cabelas.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-blade-spin?ds_e=GOOGLE&ds_c=Cabelas%7CShopping%7CSmart%7CProprietary%7CGeneral%7CNAud%7CNVol%7CNMT&gclid=CjwKCAiAv9ucBhBXEiwA6N8nYC3S5O47qOpuOMnQnf41zlcnf7lGpowVT-73cWkyHOZRatTYCKYkoBoCGscQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds That would be a lot more weedless and would look better overall.

How should you retrieve a spinner? Slow/medium/fast? With stops or without?

@FishingwithNat 8 ай бұрын

I usually retrieve them as slow as I can to keep them spinning, but you also want to consider how deep the spinner is running. If you think the fish are mid-column or near the surface, keep it near the surface. If the fish are probably deeper or you want to run it past deeper structure/vegetation, slow down the retrieve so it sinks down further. I will occasionally twitch a spinner, but it's mostly just a steady retrieve. Sometimes I'll move the rod tip to the other side of me to simulate a baitfish darting in a different direction.

Is it just me, or do Mepps spinners have no range when you cast them? Maybe I need to move up to a medium heavy rod for those 1/3 and 1/2 ounce spinners.

A lighter line will give you more casting distance than a heavier rod will. Heavy fluoro or mono lines don't allow you to cast small lures very far. 1/3oz spinners work well with a medium-light or medium power rod and 8lb mono/fluoro or 8-15lb braid.

A #0 or #1 is great for panfish and trout, or small bass. You'll catch the occasional pike on it too. #2 and #3 is good for bigger fish, mostly pike, walleyes, and decent-sized bass in my area. I've also caught sheephead, channel cats, salmon, and small muskies on them. I use the #4 and #5 mostly for pike and musky. The magnum sizes are pretty much for giant musky and pike.

@FishingwithNat Жыл бұрын

@@movinon1979 I do not. In my opinion, the right hook size for a particular fish is a balance between being able to easily get it into its mouth and the hook being strong enough to pull the fish in. Hook sizes of 6/0 or bigger (7/0, 8/0, and up) are mostly for really big bass, catfish, or big saltwater species. Hook size gets smaller as you get back to zero and then continue getting smaller as you go to #1, #2, etc. (#2 is smaller than #1). Really small sizes like #10, #12, and smaller are mostly for panfish or micro-fishing because the gap is too small to hook a larger fish, and the wire is too weak to pull them in.

The blade of a spinner reflects light and imitates a small fish in the water. It also adds vibration that a predator fish can detect from a long distance. Some spinners have blades that look like insect wings (like the Mepps Thunderbug) but they still imitate a small fish in the water.
