It is very effective on staging females. Just about everyone I guide loves throwing spinnerbaits. Now is the time to start throwing them in earnest, especially when fishing shallow. Remember cover a lot of water but stay on or near a break-line and when you hook up, work the area slowly. One good tip for early spring is use larger lures.
Big lures catch big bass.
Your equipment needs to be on the heavy side for rods. I have been using them for months now and the castability, toughness and light feel is hard to beat. Matched with Team Daiwa's X reels, this is one of the best combinations on the market. I get many calls from anglers who are having trouble catching fish or just can't figure out what they need to be doing. I specialize in instruction and I'm happy to help.
