Spinner Fishing - 3 Of The Most Effective Inline Spinners

If you spend any serious amount of time on the water attempting to catch fish, you undoubtedly know how effective insects can be as bait, but unless you are a fly fisherman, insect imitation baits can be hard to find and difficult to use. This is where inline spinners and spinner fishing come into play. For spin fishermen inline spinners can be as effective as artificial flies for fooling hungry fish, whether you are talking about trout, large and smallmouth bass, pan fish or even steelhead.
While there are various spinner fishing techniques that can be employed while using inline spinners, it is vitally important that you have an effective spinner choice attached to the end of your line. I have been using these unique fishing lures for more than twenty years and in that time have tried what seems like hundreds of different inline spinners while spinner fishing. Below I will outline 3 of the most effective choices so that you can make sure you've got one or all of them available to you the next time that you head out onto the water.

1. Worden's Rooster Tail - The Original, Tinsel, or Gold Blade Rooster Tail's fish-catching ability and construction is legendary. Superb detailing, excellent coloring and the hand-tied hackle tail provide a bait with as much detail as a hand-tied fly, which can take virtually any spinner fishing technique "to the next level."


2. Panther Martin Spinners - Panther Martin Original, Red Hook, Dressed, and FishSeeUv spinners are time tested and proven as being some of the best fishing lures for spinner fishing that can be found anywhere. The blades of these lures have a convex/concave design that literally attracts fish to them.


3. Mepps Aglia & Black Fury - The Mepps Aglia spinner is the original French spinner and has caught more trophy fish than any other inline spinner. You can get them plain, dresses, or w/ their popular "black fury" blades, all of which are effective for almost any species of freshwater fish.

The bottom line is that inline spinners and spinner fishing need to be a part of every serious spin fisherman's arsenal and the aforementioned choices are all "must haves."
