Help, I have spinnerbait fear syndrome
Message:
Hey guys, I am just wondering how many of you use a spinnerbait with regular success? In the past I have never had any real luck with them and have resorted to using other baits and methods such as shallow cranks, swimbaits or jerkbaits. Last year I fished Candlewood several times and it was the only place I had a few fish hit the spinners, but again I always did better on something else and found myself once again putting the spinners back in the tacklebox. I think I have spinnerbait fear syndrome now. I've tried burning them, slow retrieves, twitching and changing speeds, and feel like I have really tried to change the presentation but they never seem to work well for me. I'm trying to convince myself to keep giving them a shot but I always feel that when I do I will be missing fish. So who here IS a big fan of throwing spinnersbaits?

Here are two reasons why I LOVE spinnerbaits:

Obviously, spinnerbaits work best when fish are active, but they also make enough commotion in the water to induce inactive fish to bite. I like throwing spinnerbaits in places where a lure with treble hooks would hang up too much, like over slightly submerged weeds (e.g., the northern pike) or in flooded forests (e.g., my personal best largemouth bass). Don't give up, yet! :D
