Many anglers use spinnerbaits in five feet of water or less. But with some modifications, spinnerbaits can fool suspended fish as well as those close to the bottom in deeper water. Suspended fish can be incredibly difficult to target with crankbaits, jigs and soft plastics that drop underneath the school but a spinnerbait, much like a swimbait or Alabama rig, can be presented at practically any depth. Unlike deep-diving crankbaits, swimbaits and Alabama rigs, a slow-rolled spinnerbait won’t wear down your shoulder by the end of the day. The trick to fishing spinnerbaits in deep water is to slow down the retrieve or upsize the lure’s weight to counteract the lift of the blades. If you can find deep grass, a spinnerbait reeled just fast enough to occasionally touch the vegetation can draw some monster strikes from fish that rarely see this sort of lure from other anglers.
