Fishing Lures - Spinners


A Spinner is one kind of Fishing Lure that is available in numerous sizes. It can go from 1/12- ounce Spinners designed for panfish, to ½- ounce or bigger Spinners used when fishing muskies and pikes. Spinners can hook up all fish considered as predators, but Spinners work best if you are after trout.


Spinner - Parts Parts of a Spinner

The Spinner's bottom is made from a thin wire shaft with an eye, or a loop at the front. The Fishing Line is tied on the Spinner's eye. There is also a bigger loop at the back end of the Spinner. This is where the Fish Hook is fastened. Most anglers use treble Fish Hooks on their Spinners. You will find colored beads, metal cylinders, and/or small rings on the shaft of the Spinner. These things give weight and make the Spinner more attractive to fish. On top of the shaft is a clevis. This is a small device shaped like a letter C. A wire passes through both ends of the clevis. A flat, oblong piece of metal called a spinner blade is attached to a hole above the clevis.

Applications of Spinners

The spinner blade spins around the spinner at a very high-speed rate once you retrieve the spinner. This fast spin produces much flash as well as vibrations, making the fish attracted to the Fishing Lure. You can determine how fast a spinner blade rotates and how far it spins from the shaft through the various thicknesses and shapes of the spinner blades.
When you are fishing in still waters, an excellent choice would be a heavy, round spinner blade. This spins at a slow rate and it rotates very far away from the shaft, therefore increasing the water resistance. But if you fish in moving water, it is advisable to use a light, long, and thin spinner blade because it stays close to the shaft while spinning at a fast rate, thus, decreasing the water resistance.


Fishing Lures vary in features and types. Just take note that each has its own use/s. To be able to use the lures properly, make sure to consider the water conditions and the Fishing Variation that you do.
