Spinners






Spinners comprise both the in-line variety like the classic Mepps or Rooster Tail as well as spinnerbaits.  One nice feature of the spinners is that you can vary the depth of the lure by varying retrieve speed.  This feature is particular useful if the fish are hunkered down in the weeds and unwilling to pursue a bait passing far overhead.  If your rod is sensitive enough you can easily work these lures through the base of weedbeds.  Many times the fish will strike in reaction to the lure bouncing off a weedbase and changing direction suddenly.

I have good success with spinnerbaits when fishing for smallmouth base along rocky shoals.
