Spinnerbaits reign supreme in these fishing conditions. The flash and vibrations created by the lure's blades make it easy for fish to find a spinnerbait in off-colored water. Spinnerbaits are versatile, excelling equally in shallow or deep water. Furthermore, the spinnerbait is virtually foolproof. It is the shallow-water, springtime lure of choice for novices and professionals alike.
Professional anglers love spinnerbaits because they cover a lot of water.
Spinnerbaits attract bass from any depth. When fish are deep, fishermen use a heavier lure and slow the retrieve. When bass are shallow, they speed up the retrieve until the blade bulges the water's surface. Just don't make the mistake of retrieving a spinnerbait too fast, cautioned pro angler Bill Dance. A slower presentation will catch a higher percentage of the fish.
