| Spinnerbaits are not just a tool for the
| |
| | times large bass are waiting in ambush
|
| spring and fall. Spinnerbaits can be
| |
| | for prey to come along, and are primes
|
| deadly, if the right ones are fished in a
| |
| | areas to slow-roll spinnerbaits. The
|
| variety of situations weather it be the
| |
| | spinnerbaits should be slow rolled over
|
| East Coast or the West. The trick is to
| |
| | the rocks and such, and extra action
|
| be able to distinguish which is the right
| |
| | imparted to the bait is not really
|
| one for the right situation? Spinnerbaits
| |
| | necessary. It should crawl over the
|
| can fished in so many different ways, all
| |
| | bottom, and sometimes I give it a little
|
| of which, produce BIG BASS from north to
| |
| | twitch. All you have to do is raise the
|
| south, east to west. They can be fished
| |
| | rod a slightly, lightly shake it, and
|
| through the water column top to bottom.
| |
| | then continue slowrolling it back to the
|
| They are really a versatile bait if you
| |
| | boat."DEEP METHODS"When the bass are
|
| know the little tricks it takes to fish
| |
| | really deep I employ a technique I call
|
| them effectively. They can be fished many
| |
| | deep pulling; its like a yo-yo method but
|
| ways by varying the retrieve, weight of
| |
| | a little different. I let the bait
|
| the bait, blade size, the trailer and
| |
| | flutter all the way down, and then let it
|
| colors. You have a bait here that can
| |
| | sit, then I pull it hard and way up near
|
| work a water column and catch fish from
| |
| | the surface and do it again. I use real
|
| one to twenty-five feet, and because it
| |
| | heavy baits with Colorado blades for
|
| is so versatile, you can fish it fast,
| |
| | this, usually in a chartreuse, or a
|
| slow, and in all seasons of the year.The
| |
| | chartreuse and white skirt when I fish in
|
| first time I discovered this, I was
| |
| | places that have dying shad in the
|
| amazed at how many fish I had must have
| |
| | winter, but anywhere else, I use black,
|
| missed in my youth, by not knowing how to
| |
| | or black/purple combinations. I always
|
| fish a spinnerbait here in the
| |
| | add a little Megastrike to the
|
| Northeast.When it was October here in
| |
| | baits."TACKLE"I like to use a 6 to 6 1/2
|
| Delaware, I went hunting until the end of
| |
| | foot rod for this but sometimes I like to
|
| Quail season. Soon after 1976, I read my
| |
| | use a 7 foot rod, on different occasions.
|
| first issue of Basssmaster magazine, and
| |
| | Many times situations come up when a 7
|
| saw that people were using this bait year
| |
| | foot rod suits the situation better that
|
| round and catching bass. Soon after, in
| |
| | a 6 or 6 1/2 foot rod for distance and
|
| late December in Delaware, I caught my
| |
| | control. Most of my rods I use for this
|
| first bass on a "Stan Sloan" single
| |
| | technique are in a medium heavy action. I
|
| nickel colorado blade,(with a purple
| |
| | really like a Fiberglass rod for these
|
| skirt, with rattles on the arm,) by
| |
| | baits, but there are many new rods that
|
| letting it flutter into a sunken tree, in
| |
| | are very good for spinnerbaits and
|
| ten foot deep, thirty-six degree water. I
| |
| | crankbaits, made by G.Loomis, St.Croix,
|
| soon felt that sluggish pull on the line,
| |
| | Kistler,and Shimano. Sometimes on the
|
| "like a pile of leaves or grass", not
| |
| | smaller baits I use a spinning rod with
|
| until then, did I realize that I could
| |
| | Stren Super Braid,or Power Pro, but the
|
| catch bass year round on the right lures,
| |
| | rest of the time I use a baitcasting rod
|
| with the right presentation, sound and
| |
| | with a Shimano Chronarch, with fourteen
|
| color. It was well over six pounds, and
| |
| | to twenty pound P-Line.WHAT COLORS FOR

| |
| | spinnerbait, a lot of factors come in to
|
| Since that time I have fished all over
| |
| | play. The first thing I do is pick a shad
|
| the United States, from New York to
| |
| | pattern, or whatever is the dominate
|
| California, and found the right
| |
| | species in the lake. I usually double up
|
| spinnerbait and the right technique
| |
| | the skirts, to give them more bulk. I use
|
| produces big bass from all sorts of
| |
| | blue and white, black and white, and
|
| waters all year long. They key is to keep
| |
| | chartreuse and white. Sometimes I use
|
| it in the strike zone, and most lures are
| |
| | red, depending on the location. All of
|
| made so that you can work them as slowly
| |
| | these colors give a good range of
|
| as you want to, while still keeping them
| |
| | visibility under water.In muddy water, I
|
| in the zone."DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES"I like
| |
| | have always used the same colors, black
|
| to use the spinnerbait as a search tool,
| |
| | and blue and red. The same goes for the
|
| and kind of a depth finder, and bottom
| |
| | nighttime. I like to use the forage in
|
| contour device also. What I do is check
| |
| | the lake if I can,such as rainbow trout
|
| out the structure of the lake by bumping
| |
| | or shad, and to make it appear injured to
|
| objects, and increasing my chance for a
| |
| | trigger that genetic response.I like to
|
| reaction strike right then. The

| the rod if necessary, trying to give the
| |
| | spinnerbaits I add on a double or triple
|
| bass a different look, which is important
| |
| | skirt for bulk and lift, and use really
|
| in highly pressured waters. I work
| |
| | big blades. Terminator makes some big
|
| buzzbaits in a different manner also,
| |
| | blades that I really like on our
|
| which I believe is what accounts for some
| |
| | spinnerbaits. This year here in Delaware,
|
| real lunkers that I might have otherwise
| |
| | we landed three bass in one day on big

| missed. There are times when a

| | spinnerbaits, that went seven and eight
|
| spinnerbait is the most effective tool to
| |
| | pounds. Sometimes we even break off the
|
| use. When fishing the bait in heavy cover
| |
| | tails of worms for trailers, and many
|
| such as pads, I employ a technique that I
| |
| | times in the spring, I have caught some
|
| now know is called fluttering by some
| |
| | huge bass from ten inches of muddy water
|
| anglers.Basically what you do is to cast
| |
| | with a big spinnerbait with a trailer.We

| flutter down. Many strikes comes as a

| |
| | bait for beginners, although it is a
|
| presented in enough variations and
| |
| | great bait to break in a novice or child
|
| positions. Slow rolling can be extremely
| |
| | to the sport of bass fishing. But in the
