And then it has these spinners on here that give off vibration. And they give off flash to attract the fish.

Types: Spinner baits come in many different styles, but the five main types include in-line spinners, tail spinners, beetle spins, live bait spinners and overhead arm spinners.

The spinnerbait has a smooth, flowing action that mimics a swimming baitfish. The blades vibrate and flash, attracting the attention of bass. You can use spinnerbaits in most bass-fishing situations, but they are especially suited to fishing shallow cover. The most popular sizes range between 1/4-ounce and 3/4-ounce.

In the spring or clear water, it is possible to catch a giant bass on a bait as small as 1/8-ounce. The opposite occurs in the fall and muddy water, where larger profile baits as big as 1-ounce are the ideal choice. Many anglers view the 3/8-ounce size as the all-purpose size.

Spinners use flash and vibration to attract fish. This flash and vibration comes from their revolving blade. No other fishing lure has this unique feature. For this very reason, Mepps spinners will catch fish when no other lure will.

All spinnerbaits have a few basic components. Using the lead head, hook and wire harness as the starting point, you'll then slide at least one of the little metal beads up the wire or arm of the spinnerbait.

Spinners will catch all types of game fish. Fish can see the flash of the revolving blade in clear or stained water, in dark or murky water they will use their lateral-line to feel the vibration from the turning blade.

There are three main blade shapes, each with its own purpose. Properly matching the type of blade to the conditions you are fishing will put more fish in the boat. The three main blade types are Willow Leaf, Colorado, and Indiana.

Keep colors simple Go with a clear shad type color, a brighter chartreuse and white combination and maybe a black spinnerbait for night fishing and really muddy water. The clearer the water, the less you want the fish to see of the bait and fish it fast.

To spin fish, attach your lure to the end of your line. Once your lure is attached, you're ready to cast. After you cast your lure, start reeling it in. The speed and tempo at which you retrieve your lure will depend on what kind it is and the species of fish you want to catch.

Spinnerbaits were designed for Largemouth Bass, but they quickly moved their way to the Smallmouth, Northern Pike, Muskie and even the Walleye anglers' boxes. This versatile single hooked lure is surprisingly weedless. The normal sizes are 3/8 and ½ ounce however there are smaller and larger.

Spinnerbaits (Around Cover) Reel: The ideal reel for close quarter's spinnerbait fishing is something in a moderate gear ratio, like 6.1:1 or 6.4:1. You want to be able to fish it efficiently but still be able to slow it down to a crawl over stumps, logs, and laydowns.

Spinnerbaits work great in all types of water clarity, but they perform best in stained and dirty water. Whenever visibility is limited, a spinnerbait really draws strikes because of the vibrations from the blades. The bass feel as if a small school of bait fish is going by; they don't want to miss out.

Blades and Bodies for Spinners and Spoons The blades and bodies of our fishing spoons and spinners are made of solid brass and most Mepps hooks are made of bronze. Bronze is an excellent choice for fishing hooks because it is strong and resistance to corrosion.

Let's look at the main types of blades and different uses of each type of blade:

• Straight edge/bladed Knife. Want to keep.
• Serrated edge. Another of the more commonly used knives in the kitchen.
• Scalloped edge.
• Hollow ground edge.
