Using a spinner bait is a great way to catch bass. Its blades vibrate in the water and make a great lure for fishing in cold and extreme weather conditions. This article will help you choose the best spinner bait for you. It is also an excellent choice for those who are just beginning to fish with spinner baits.
Weight
There are many factors to consider when determining the weight of a spinner bait. The weight of a spinner bait is affected by the head, wire, blades and wire. Although most commonly made from lead, the head can also be made of other metal alloys. The lure's ability to catch fish can be affected by its weight. How the lure functions and the type of fish you catch will depend on the size and shape of the wire, the blade shape and the hook.
Blade type
When choosing a blade style of spinner bait, there are many things to consider. It is crucial to speed the retrieve. Also, different blade shapes can produce different levels flash and vibration. The elongated willow leaf style requires the fastest retrieve, while the broader Colorado design requires a slower retrieve. Between the two styles is the Indiana style. It falls somewhere between the streamlined blades and wider blades. The type of blade can also affect flash. Color, texture, size and color all have an impact.
Running depth
Different colors can be used to fish the same lure, so it is possible to use different colors. These lures work in both clean and dirty water. In dirty water, the lateral line is even more important as bass are likely to ignore lures that are too active. You will also notice the Colorado blade releasing tons of vibration. The bait should be thrown to the edges of the weeds. You can also throw the lure through light cover.
Efficacy
The pressure waves generated by the spinnerbait's blades push the water towards the fish seated in it. The waves are unique to the surrounding water, which the fish's lateral line system detects. These waves can also influence the frequency of action potentials sent to the brain. These factors combine to trigger a fish's instinctive response to strike. Spinning bait's effectiveness is often underestimated. Let's look at the science behind it.
Casting method
There are two major methods for casting for spinnerbaits in dams. The standard approach involves casting the bait away from the bank for a short distance and then bombing it towards the bank. This is a good method if the water is not too deep to reach the bottom. You can vary the water depth to achieve different fishing action on shallow lakes or deep reservoirs.
Method of retrieval
Slow rolling is an effective retrieve method when using spinner baits. This retrieve involves raising the rod tip and rolling the bait slowly until the blades touch the surface. This allows the bait, which can trigger a bite, to sink slowly. There are many options for blade shapes and sizes. To attract fish, blades must have flash. Types of blades include Indiana, willowleaf and tandem.
Size of blade
The size of the blade on a spinner bait is a critical aspect for attracting the attention of the fish. The greater the vibration, the bigger the blade. A smaller blade will allow the lure to be retrieved faster and stay down. The size of the blade also needs to be balanced with the head weight and the wire gauge used to suspend it. Otherwise, the lure will fall over. In the 1980s Florida anglers invented the Okeechobee Special lure. This lure featured large blades. Unfortunately, the wrong head size and weight combination would make the lure fall over.
FAQ

How To
How to Perfectly Cast a Fishing Rod
Casting a fishing pole requires that you use your wrist to guide the rod's handle toward the water. You should hold the rod at a slight angle to ensure the line is parallel with the ground. Keep the rod's tip parallel to the water when you move it forward. If the tip hits the water's surface before the line reaches the bottom, the fish won't bite. This technique can be used to increase distance between the tip and water surface.
These tips will help you feel more comfortable casting a fishing rod.
Begin by holding the rod close to your chest. You can control the rod's direction by this method without having to bend down.
A tripod can be placed on the shoreline, or on a rock ledge, to cast a heavy rod. You'll be able rest your rod securely and still have control of the reel.
Third, you may want to consider buying a small reel instead of an expensive one. A spinning reel that is inexpensive will enable you to cast further distances and improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder might be another option. These holders are designed to hold the rod firmly while keeping it upright. They are easy to store after use and protect the rod against damage.
Fifth, practice casting until it becomes second nature. It takes time to master the art of casting a fishing rod.
Sixth, patience will be your key to successful fishing. Wait for the right time to strike, then work hard to catch the fish.
