In-depth Spinnerbaiting

By: Steven Narup



When most people are asked, “what is a spinnerbait?” They will more then likely reply with this, “it has a hook with a wire attached to it, with a lead head and a silicone skirt, with either one or two blades.” The majority of the time they will automatically describe the clothes pin spinnerbait. Well in essence, there is much more to that. There is more then just that style of spinnerbait, this is what most people do not understand. Two other spinnerbait types are just as productive when presented in the right situation. These two baits are the tail-spinner and the in-line spinner. These baits are slowly catching on to the clothespin spinnerbait.



There are quite a few styles of spinnerbaits, including tail spinners, in-line spinners, and clothespin style spinnerbaits. Each style has there own time and place. The most widely used of these spinnerbait choices, is the clothes pin style.



Tail spinners can be a great choice when fishing for smallmouth bass and or finicky largemouth due to the bait’s compact size.



In-line Spinners became obsolete for many years by most bass anglers. Until now, they are slowly catching on to both Smallmouth and Largemouth anglers.



In-line spinners are a great bait when the fish are active but they can also be great when presented it other situations. Most people use in-line spinners when the fish are in a negative feeding mood, due to the bait’s smaller more compact size. There is one problem with in-line spinners, which keep the majority of people away from them, the fact that they will give you line twist. To help with this scenario try a high quality stainless steel ball bearing, this will cut back on the line twist. A ball bearing helps prevent line twist like so, when the bait starts to spin and twist in the water column the line will most likely twist without a ball bearing. However, if you have a ball bearing connecting the leader to the main line, when the bait twists the ball bearing spins the line back so that the line will not twist. If by any chance you do have line twist, let out a couple hundred feet of line into the water and turn your trolling motor on, this will get most of the twist out of your line. Another trick is the tie your line to a heavy object and stretch the line out by tightening your drag and pulling the line.





The clothespin style spinnerbait comes in many different combinations including blade size and style and different size heads. There are Steel and Titanium wires. The Titanium version is nearly indestructible, and needs little or no tuning at all. Titanium also lets off quite a bit more vibration then steel. The heads on clothespin spinnerbaits are starting to be produced with different materials as well, such as Lead, and Tungsten. Spinnerbait anglers are slowly starting to make the switch to Tungsten spinnerbaits, due to the fact the head is almost ¾ the size of lead, making the bait work through cover almost effortlessly.





. In general, spinnerbaits are a very versatile lure, which is one main reason why most bass anglers use them. Bass anglers have been using them for many years now and they still produce fish as if they came out yesterday, you just have to know the different ways to fish the bait.



Tail spinners can be great finesse baits and they can be fished shallow or deep, because the body of the bait is lead, with a little blade on the back. The majority of tail spinners come with a single treble hook, making them not as easy as the clothespin style spinnerbait when trying to fish through thick cover. To work the tail-spinner you can just reel the bait back to the boat, but doing this you will reduce the odds of catching more fish, but it does work. Instead, you should give the bait a little action. You can yo-yo the bait by letting the bait fall to the bottom, then pick your rod tip up to about a 10 o’clock position, just keep repeating this procedure unless you are not producing. On the other hand, you can do a combination of things, to give the fish something different to look at. You can yo-yo the bait during part of the cast, then reel, or twitch it back to the boat. One last way to fish this bait would be to vertical jig it, in deep, clear, cold water. This technique will work in different conditions, but works best in deep, clear, cold water. When you vertical jig a tail spinner you cast the bait out a few feet and let the bait fall vertically, on a semi-slack line then you slowly lift your rod tip and shake the bait, let the bait fall and keep repeating this process. I like to use baitcasting gear when fishing tail spinners, but there are times when you need to fish lighter baits and that is when spinning gear comes into play. I mainly fish Pflueger rods and reels. The rods are very nice they come with premium Fuji guides and a Fuji reel seat, making the rod one nice package. I really like the Trion Baitcasting reel because they come with five ball bearings, one roller bearing and a smooth multi-disc main gear applied star drag system, making this a great reel for mostly any type of fishing. The reel is great if you want to fish a lighter line, because you can set your drag and the drag is so smooth that when a fish pools there will not be as much stress on the line itself.





In-line spinners have been around for over fifty years, and they are still going strong, Mepps has been in the in-line spinner business for a while now, and they still sell great. Most anglers do not use in-line spinners while fishing for bass instead they are using bigger in-line spinners fishing for pike or musky. However, I know they are missing a lure that can catch bass like it can pike and musky. I have had great success fishing in-line spinners in creek openings, where the creek empties into the main river, fishing for smallmouth bass. In-line spinners can be worked shallow or deep, they come with or without tails, painted blades or non-painted blades. When you work an in-line spinner, the best possible way to fish these is to reel them in. If you try to jerk the bait, you will lose a lot of action, because in-line spinners are not made for jerking. In-line spinners let off a lot of flash, and maximum flash happens when you just reel it in. When I fish in-line spinners I like to use spinning gear preferably the Pflueger Trion spinning rod in a 6 ½ foot medium action, with a Pflueger Trion spinning reel, because they come in a 6:3:1 gear ratio which will allow you to speed up the bait without getting as tired out. They are very smooth and cast light baits a mile.



Clothespin spinnerbaits are one of your more versatile bait in the spinnerbait family. You can work them quite a few different ways, and give the bait a great action if you desire. When I work a safety pin spinnerbait, I really like to use a Pflueger Trion Baitcasting rod, anywhere from 6-foot medium to a 7-foot medium heavy action. The 6-foot rod will help you when you want to make accurate casts, and the 7-foot rod will help when you want to get distance with your bait. With the Trion rods, they are extra sensitive high modulus graphite, which will give you the ability to feel the blades turn on your bait. I will throw the bait on 15-20 pound test Berkley Trilene XL. When you work a safety pin spinnerbait, you can just reel it in, but again you are going to be missing some fish. When I fish a safety pin style spinnerbait, I sometimes jerk the bait, doing this gives the bait sort of an injured baitfish presentation. You can also let the bait flutter down, then you pick up your rod tip, and repeat, doing this gives the bait a yo-yo type effect. If I am going to be fishing a spinnerbait in cold water, I will look for anything that lets off heat because this will warm up the water just a little bit, fish do feel the difference, and I will fish the bait around that. If the fish are just coming up and nipping at the bait, you may want to add a trailer hook for extra insurance. I will usually throw a spinnerbait with a trailer hook in any tournament situation. If the fish are coming up and hitting that bait and not taking it you can use a soft plastic trailer, I like to use the Gambler Pro Series Spinnerbaits, beacause they come with high quailty blades and ball bearings, making it almost effortless to slow roll them and let them flutter down. To dress the Gambler Pro Series spinnerbait up I prefer the three-inch Bear Claw Grub from Bearpaws Custom Handpoured Baits. I like the Bearpaws grub because it comes with the scent baked right in to the bait, this will give you a definite edge on other anglers, because you will not need to use scent on the exterior of the bait.



Spinnerbaits are a great and versatile lure that have made a lot of many for companies in the fishing industry. The only thing I can say is next time you go out on the water I dare you to tie on a spinnerbait, and I know that you will not regret it.

Noel Gyger - WEEKLY FISHING REPORT dated August 10 – August 17, 2008
(Number 84)

Dear Fishing Friends:

SUMMARY: It rained at the beginning of the week but by the weekend the sun was shining and we were back to very warm daytime temperatures. The mainstem Skeena River came up quite a bit but seems stable and starting to drop. Through all of this the fishing remained pretty good. I have been out to the Nicholas Dean Lodge “out-post” camp twice during the week to shoot some video and still photos. I must say, I had a ball. Be sure to check out the four “NEW” video clips posted this week, two Steelhead (one over 25-pounds) and two double-headers (Sockeye and Coho). All fish caught were on fly rods. At the present time there seems to be a good number of Sockeye, Pinks, Coho and summer-run Steelhead migrating upriver. I have reports of late run Chinook (King) Salmon being landed also. Both spin and fly techniques are working well. The Kitimat River is slow for Chum but it looks promising for Coho. Be sure to check the detailed report and photos from Ron Wakita below.

Skeena Camp Package - spots are still available – let me know if you are interested

Camp is open: July 13 to September 13, 2008

Simply put, Northwestern British Columbia’s Skeena River is the Steelhead and Salmon superhighway. In summer and fall the lower main channel Skeena hosts vast numbers of migrating Steelhead, Chinook, Coho, Sockeye, Chums, and Pinks headed for numerous upriver tributaries. To take full advantage of this prolific fishery and offer a high-quality, high-value fishing adventure, Nicholas Dean Lodge has developed an on-river Skeena Camp package. Renowned rivers such as the Babine, Kispiox, Sustut, Bulkley, Morice, Copper (Zymoetz) and Kalum enter the Skeena above our camp and all fish bound for these rivers must pass directly in front of us before reaching their spawning grounds. Only a day or two out of the ocean, at the peak of their size, strength and beauty, these are among the biggest and most aggressive Steelhead and Salmon on Earth. To hook one of these fish on the fly in the broad, lower Skeena is to touch the heart of the wilderness – an experience not to be forgotten!
Cast to the link below for the full package details: http://www.nicholasdean.com/Downloads/Package_SkeenaCampPackage.pdf

Cost of Skeena Camp Package: $2195.00 CDN per person

• 5 days of semi-guided fishing
• 6 night’s accommodation at the Skeena Camp (7 days total)
• Day of arrival includes, meals, accommodation and transportation to and from the airport (no guided fishing)
• Day of departure includes breakfast (no guided fishing)


Arrive Sunday, guided fishing Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (5 days) and Depart Saturday. DID I SAY…fish on your own for as many hours as you would like? Another, “fun way” to put it is…FISH UNTIL YOU DROP! (7 days/ 6 nights/ 5 days guided fishing and then fish on your own for the rest of your time).

“The Tyee test fishery shows a great early season return. It appears that this year's run will be one of the strongest in the past ten years. Currently the return is 26% ahead of the ten year average and the commercial fishery is just about to close. Already fish are being caught on the Copper and being seen at the falls on the Bulkley. NOAA has also released promising news on ocean productivity for this and the coming three years”, says Fly Water Travel http://flywatertravel.com

CURRENT REPORT and summary for Northern Coastal Rivers:

Fishing Report from: Ron Wakita of Reliable Guide and Charters

KITIMAT RIVER: With the poor Chum return on the Kitimat River this year and the daily quota for Chum reduced to zero retention the content of this report has been reduced dramatically. There is a definite void in the angler experience created on the Kitimat by this poor return of Chum. We have become so accustomed to the abundance of the salmon stocks created by the Kitimat Hatchery that it is difficult to fathom such a poor return of any of the species that are being enhanced.

There was a late surge of bright Chum reported by some anglers fishing the Hatchery Island and the gravel bar below the Kitimat Hatchery this week but the rest of the Kitimat River Chum counts remain poor.

The Kitimat Hatchery Brood collection team remains diligent in their efforts to collect their targeted brood stock numbers so we remain optimistic that the Kitimat River Chum stock abundance will return. We are indeed fortunate to have the Kitimat River Hatchery.

On the bright side there has been some early Coho caught this week and the odd late Chinook still being hooked by unsuspecting anglers using light gear. The early return of Coho is bright.

DOUGLAS CHANNEL: Halibut and Bottom fish catch numbers remain really good on the Douglas Channel. David Payjack fishing with two of his fishing partners reports, 'The three of us hooked into 13 halibut in total. We landed a total of 10, kept 6, released 4 and lost 3. The largest halibut for this trip was 87 lbs. Along with the lingcod, snapper, sea bass and other cod this trip to the open water sure turned out to be worth it, even with such a late start on Saturday. Wish all of the trips were like this'.

Coho catch numbers are also improving on the outer waters of the Douglas. Alain of Alain's Deep Sea Charters reports boating 16 Coho on his last trip. Alain also caught a 20lb halibut while trolling for Coho. This must have been a nice surprise!


Hi Ron, Actually 53 pounds according to the chart. James pulled it in himself and is his biggest to date. The first time I took him halibut fishing when he was about three he would not come out of the cuddy because the halibut was 'too scary'. Seven years later the fish don't seem so bad. John

Sam Avila of Ocean Breeze Charters reports boating 26 Coho and 8 halibut on his last trip with clients. John from Blue Heron Charters reports a great day on the Douglas with his clients. Judging by the smiles in the picture, a great time was had by all.

The Kitimat Harbour fishery is still spotty but there are some big tides in the next few days that will help migrate more Coho up to this end of the Douglas. Stay Tuned! Regards, Ron Wakita

Fishing Report and Photos from: Nicholas Dean Lodge

Chad Black reports the Skeena River “out-post” camp had a very successful first week. The fly fishing has been reasonably good. Many happy clients leaving for home with sore arms and “amazing” fish stories (how the big one got away…a common theme). ONE did NOT get away! New clients are coming in today looking to break any records. Water has been up but the river remains fishable. Sockeye has been good. Pinks have been slow. Coho has been good. Steelhead has been good.

Tight line and screaming reels…

Fishing Report and Photos from: Steelhead Heaven

Skeena River Report – August 16, 2008
Summer in Skeena Country is a wonderful time of year, Salmon and Steelhead are running and the fish are always splashing as you Jetboat the green emerald water.
This day begins with a misty morning as I start the motor on the Jetboat. The fog is so thick I can see maybe 10 meters in front of me. I idle the boat from the small creek and suddenly feel the force of the mainstem Skeena River, and it turns the boat and wants to take us down river. I power up and the boat is now getting an upstream motion, I barely see the sand bar in front of me, it is littered with a dead fall of logs, probably from many miles above. I cut back on the throttle to get my bearings straight. My client for the day is Mr. Hirakawa, he looks at me with confidence and I wonder if I should pull over and wait for the hot sun to burn off the morning mist. I think not, and find my route into paradise and upstream we go. Within a minute or two the sun peaks thru the morning freshness and we arrive at a pool I call forever. Surrounded by waterfalls and jagged mountains this pool is a full day fish, not many walk the entire distance without a break.
Hirakawa makes effortless casts time and time again waiting for that pull of a sea run Steelhead. As you can see in the pictures below Hirakawa has a tight line on a chrome hen and she is priceless. Also attached is Big Steelie Phil with a beauty 80cm Skeena Steelhead. Our threesome Alexi, Eric and the German Boy did a overnighter with me and we traveled the area for Chinooks on the fly, Alexi did just the thing and his video is on Hook TV. When the Chinook felt the pull of the spey rod, he went ballistic and the sound of Alex’s drag singing is what makes us drool! Eric did a fine job banking some fresh fish during his stay and the golfer from Ontario is all smiles for the camera.
River conditions are coloring up as the hot sun has the rivers on rise and some of the tributaries are milking the Skeena, still allot of fish moving thru for the next month or so. Guests arriving next week are the David Party, tight lines. Report and Photo by Tracey John Hittel
