Spinnerbaits

Spinnerbaits
Spinnerbaits are a lure that triggers strikes mostly by vibrating in the water, which the fish can feel though their lateral line. The blade of a spinnerbait also reflects light, mimicking shiny bait fish. There are two main types of spinnerbaits: the "safety pin: and the inline spinner.

Inline
The inline spinner often consists of: a blade, a lead or steel egg sinker and a treble, all attached to a strait wire. They can also be made with a single hook or dressed treble. These lures are commonly used for water with not a lot of weeds or very shallow areas; since the treble can be easily caught on weeds.

Safety Pin or Weedless
The safety pin spinner often consists of: a bent piece of wire with a soft plastic and jig at one end and a few blades at the other. Since the hook is on the inside of the lure it is completly weedless, but it is harder to set the hook. These are usally used in heavy weed since there is usally fish there.

Tips
Spinnerbait fishing is all about the structure you target, weather conditions, and your retrieval. Areas such as submerged trees, rocks, and other vegetation are the ideal areas to target. All weather conditions can be fished with spinnerbait. Depending on the weather, you'll want to change the color and blade to match the conditions. If you're aren't having any luck, change the pace of retrieval. This can make all the difference.

Always keep pliers while fishing with trebles since they can be easily swallowed.
