Spinner baits are a great way of catching bass. It vibrates and thumps in the water. The erratic movement makes it a good lure for fishing in colder or more extreme conditions. Here are some tips to help you select the right spinnerbait for your needs. It is also an excellent choice for those who are just beginning to fish with spinner baits.
Weight
The weight of a spinnerbait is determined by many factors. The weight is determined by the blades, wire and head. The head is most often made of lead, although other metal alloys are also used. The lure's ability to catch fish can be affected by its weight. The lure's effectiveness and ability to catch fish will be determined by how large the hook is, its blade shape, and the wire diameter.
Blade type
When choosing a blade style of spinner bait, there are many things to consider. Retrieval speed is critical. Blade shapes also produce different levels or flash. While the Colorado design's wider willow leaf requires the fastest retrieve time, it is easier to retrieve the longer style. The Indiana style is somewhere in between, and falls between the wider blades and the more streamlined. As the blade's size, texture, color and other factors will all affect the flash, so will the type of blade.
Running depth
You can fish the same lure using different colors, so the more contrast you have, the better. These lures work well in both clear and dirty water. Bass are more likely to ignore lures with too many action. Attract attention to the Colorado blade that emits a lot of vibration. The bait should be thrown to the edges of the weeds. You can also throw the lure through light cover.
Efficacy
The spinnerbait blades produce pressure waves which move the water towards the fish sitting in them. The waves are unique to surrounding water, which the fish’s lateral line system detects. These waves can also influence the frequency of action potentials sent to the brain. The combination of these factors evokes a fish's natural instincts to strike. Spinning bait's effectiveness is often underestimated. Let's look at the science behind it.
Casting
There are two main ways to cast for spinner baits in dams. Casting the bait from the bank is the standard approach. This involves casting it a distance away and then bombing it back towards the bank. This technique is good for shallow water, but not deep enough to reach bottom. To get different action, you can adjust the depth of the water if you fish in a shallow reservoir or lake.
Retrieval method
For spinner baits, slow rolling is a common retrieval method. This retrieve method involves holding a rod high and slowly rolling a bait as the blades scratch the surface. This technique allows the bait to sink slowly without disturbing cover, which may trigger a bite. Blades can come in many shapes, colors, and sizes. For fish to catch blades, they should be flashy. Blade types include willowleaf, Indiana, and tandem.
Size of the blade
A spinner bait's blade size is crucial for attracting fish attention. The larger the blade, the more vibration it can provide. A smaller blade allows for a quicker retrieve and helps the lure stay down. Balance the size of your blade and the wire gauge to suspend it must be done. The lure could fall over if it is not balanced. Florida anglers developed the Okeechobee Special lure in the early 1980s, featuring large blades. The lure could fall over if the weight and head size were wrong.
FAQ
