Summer Bass Fishing With Spinnerbaits

The Spinnerbait has slowly decreased in their popularity through the years, an aspect which you can make the most of. Spinnerbaits are yet another reaction strike lure, however they have one distinct advantage over the other lures they do not have Treble hooks.

Casting and retrieval

The casting of spinnerbaits in the fallen branches is my preferred method. Allow the bait to sink for 4 or 5 seconds and then perform a rapid retrieve. Try to cast it in circles around branches of trees that are sunken. If your bait hits an object, allow it to go down for a few seconds prior to returning - this can often result in an impact.

Which spinnerbait should you use to catch summer bass?

Trailers are a great option for fishing spinnerbaits since they give a more rounded space for bass to concentrate on when they hit. I also prefer using them in areas with plenty of vegetation. Because this bait does not have treble hooks, weeds or other debris are less likely catch the lure, making spinnerbaits one of the most flexible choices to have in the tackle bag. It is crucial to choose the right spinnerbait to run in water. I've used a few in the past that turned upside down on the retrieval. Nichols Lures makes a great handmade spinnerbait , which will run perfectly right out of the box.

There are a variety of sizes and blade types of spinnerbaits. However, I always take the minimalist route and generally pick one Colorado Blade 3/8oz in size. I like to "match the hatch" when it comes to color , unless I'm fishing during the night and in which case I go with either black or midnight blue. Spinnerbaits are one of the few baits that I reel completely to my boat, as it is typical that strikes occur just prior to lifting the bait from the water to cast it again.

Pro Tip:

Many anglers don't use the swivel and spinnerbait in tandem because spinnerbaits don't having a closed-eye. They believe that the swivel will slide into on the rod's shaft, causing it to be difficult to retrieve. To prevent this from happening allow the bait to sink as your reeling the remaining slack then jerk it before you begin your retrieve. This ensures the proper location of the swivel. This helps decrease line twist and will not hinder the true retrieve.
