Spinner Blades

These flat metal blades, which are often silver or gold, attach to the jig through a right angle wire and produce both flash and vibrations that can stimulate a fish’s lateral line, triggering it to strike. Spinner blades are deadly, but they’re not always the clear choice for every single fishing situation. So when should you use them?

With their flashiness, spinner baits are an excellent choice during periods of low visibility, whether on cloudy days, windy days, rainy days, or early and late in the day. They’re also a great choice for murky water and night fishing, and for probing new bodies of water. In these conditions, the spinning blade vibrates and flashes like a beacon, drawing in fish from afar.
