-
Smaller spinner baits will give a quieter
entry than larger spinner baits. This is very important when
casting close to cover.
-
Different blade sizes and head weights effect
the running depth of spinner baits. Small blades and heavier
head weights run deeper.
-
Keep your spinner bait above the fish.
-
Try running your lure right under the surface
and create a wake. Make sure you have spinner baits that will
do this.
-
As your spinner bait is next to cover, kill
it. Let it fall a foot or two then start your retrieve again.
Often bass will hit as it sinks or just as your restart the
retrieve.
-
If pitching a worm into holes in cover does
not work, try pitching a spinner bait. Throw it on top of
grass and let it sink as it passes a hole.
-
Sometimes a reaction bait works better than
a worm. Sometimes twitch your rod TOWARD your lure to create
a momentary pause. This often triggers a strike. Make your
retrieve erratic.
-
When you are slow rolling your spinner bait
and you feel it hit brush or grass, pause it for just a moment
and let it sink into the cover. This gets it down to the fish
and triggers a strike.
-
You can pitch a spinner bait more accurately
than most can cast one. Get in close and make accurate presentations.
-
Bump your spinner bait into stumps, logs or
hit the grass. Kill it and let it fall to trigger a strike.
