There are a lot of different spinnerbait styles for you to choose from, but I keep it simple with a few basic styles. It can be coming up or going down, so we’re getting right back into one of my favorite times to throw a spinnerbait. My two favorite times of the year to throw a spinnerbait are the spring and the fall when the water’s in that 50-65 degree range. The thing I like most about a spinnerbait is that it’s a “big fish” bait.
I’ve seen the fish’s preferences change during the day where at the beginning they want it faster and then they go to wanting it down deeper and then just slow rolling it on the bottom.
You may come down a log and that bait allows you to do whatever you need to. A lot of times in the fall, I’ll throw that bait up on the bank and fish it kind of quickly and then get it out there and slow roll it. But I can tie on spinnerbait, and on the same cast, I’m able to change the depth of that bait.
