The simplest way to work these lures is to cast it out and simply retrieve it fast enough to set the blades in motion. You can begin the retrieve the second it hits the water and work it shallow or you can count down and work it at a desired depth. Once you ve decided what depth you want to work at you may vary the retrieve speed or cadence. One variation is to get the lure working along for several feet and let it fall down several feet and begin the retrieve the again. Rolling a spinnerbait is often very effective.
Tips Hold the lure in a horizontal position so that the blades are pointing down toward the hook.
Make sure the blades are not making contact with the hook. If so, bend the wire upward to correct this condition. Some anglers like to bend the wire that holds the hook about one-quarter inch off to one side or the other. They do this because often a fish strikes the lure from the side and fails to get hooked. Another trick is bending the wire that the blades are on to the side.
