Bass Fishing Basics: How To Fish A Spinnerbait

[@Floridafisherman5000]

Caught a bass first time using a spinner bait yesterday!! White spinner bait and added a nice clear white rubber trailer on the hook. The bass went for it and I hooked it!!! Very exciting for me even though it was only a 12" bass!!! I'm sold on spinner baits!!

[@dongquoc4211]

*Great item. First cast out of the package caught a nice bass. Pulls smooth in the water and sets up nicely immediately upon retrieval. Worth adding to your tackle box.*

[@WengerFishing]

Hmm I seem to never even get a bite using spinner baits

[@JG_23_]

So did you use a trailer or just throw it out straight out of the box? Because I tried without a trailer and caught nothing, and hopefully today maybe I can go back out and try with a trailer

[@MasonLotz-ts4xo]

After many years of fishing, I've caught bass and other predator species on everything from jigs, poppers, rapalas....but I've NEVER caught a fish on a spinner bait. And I have dedicated DAYS to only using and learning the ins and outs with successful buddies buuut it's just not in the cards for me haha.

[@glass_eater11]

Have only used live bait for years and over all a big fishing noob, wanted to learn how to actually fish, this helped a lot 🤙

[@BagheriSina]

Hey man nothing wrong with live bait! Doesn’t discredit you as a fisherman at all.

[@glass_eater11]

@@BagheriSina of course, it’s just the only fish I ever caught is bluegill and a few bass here and there, after the video I caught my first pike on a spinner! And the only live bait I used was worms.

[@Romeozdistress]

Thanks, I just started bass fishing. Gonna try a spinnerbait. Can't seem to catch anything very frustrating.

[@Noah_7s]

Same tell me how it goes please

[@gordonnewman2225]

I'm in the same boat, just moved to a lake and never bass fished. They where everywhere the other day. I'm gonna try spinners and wacky rig worms untill I catch something.

[@ash_rl5200]

I recommend senkos, jerk baits, and crankbaits. Thats what i normally catch them on! Good luck pal

[@jagged6373]

Rapala husky jerks are a must have also

[@markcardenas9646]

You’re not alone bro, can get very frustrating.

[@wishwop8338]

first time using a spinnerbait and 2nd cast caught my biggest pike ever :)

[@StrawHatTony420]

My biggest pike ever was also caught on the first couple casts. Was using a buzzbait that wasn't even working right. I casted it out, tried to pull it to the surface to buzz the water and noticed the lure was tangled up/spinning in a spiral motion. Halfway through, a big northern shoots out of the water like a dolphin to grab it and misses. In my head I'm praying he tries it again. He shoots out a second time with my malfunctioning buzzbait in his mouth lol 😁

[@BassGeek]

Man I love a spinnerbait in the spring.

[@wyattross1461]

Do you use a trailer hook??

[@claytonsharp4947]

I love seeing LTB come back to its roots that helped it become so successful in the first place! It’s really nice seeing Travis back and hyped up on the KZbin channel! Just wish this company would help me out!😉

[@travismoran9642]

Clayton Sharp appreciate the support! I’m starting to feel a little momentum back at Lucky.

[@badfishingbissanschlagdril3637]

Nice vid my friend 😎🎣👍🏼 Spinnerbaits are cool🎣🤘🏻Greetings from Germany🇩🇪

[@travismoran9642]

Appreciate the support from the other side of the globe!

[@markspear1891]

I like Spinnerbaits, they're fun. 🤣😀

[@999gundy5]

Spinnerbaits are nice I caught a bass , 2 perch and nice bullhead all in the same day on a spinner bait

[@onniheadhunter2890]

True true true. Absolutely true that the spinnerbait is the most versatile lure of all. When i cant get a bite on all other lures im guaranteed a bite on the spinnerbait. I get bit on the spinnerbait all the time. Bass of all sizes hit it

[@luisclark3693]

Caught my first personal best with a 2 dollar spinner like that I was so stoked lol

[@masfishing1]

Good video Travis. As a bank fisherman ive never had any luck with a spinnerbait. But i have only one chartreuse spinnerbait ive tried minimally because i dont have any confidence in it. So if i want to give it an honest try before i give up on spinnerbaits can you tell me what 2 or 3 color spinnerbaits should i have to cover most situations? And being in northern calif , lake amador, don pedro, melones area, what blades and colors should i use as well? Thank you.

[@travismoran9642]

Great question. The blade I am throwing in this video is a fantastic all around color and size. I like something with one gold and one silver blade. Then, either a full white blade or a half white/shad and then half chartreuse, like the one in the video. Lastly, the 1/2oz offers me the most versatility at being able to fish different depths, casts easily in the wind, and just seems to be the easiest to handle. That being said, if you are fishing more from the shore, a 3/8 oz may work best for you. the reason is you are casting deep to shallow, so it is easier for you to keep the bait near on bouncing along the bottom than from a boat. I would try both sizes and see which works best for you. Thanks for the question and I hope this helps!

[@masfishing1]

@@travismoran9642 Thk u Travis for responding. I do appreciate your time and your videos. I learn alot from you. Now ill go buy me some of those Dobyns D-blade beast soinnerbaits at my local Fishermans Warehouse store in 3/8 instead of 1/2 as u suggested for us bank anglers. Thank u very much!

[@emilymarble1174]

Free case! Free extra lure! Amazing paint apps!

[@richard2mitchell]

what colors work best in mud water?...i am in southeast tx and EVERY THING is fresh and salt water and EVERYTHING is dirty all the time

[@xurprexme5952]

Can you use spinner bait in the ocean im going on a boat in a few days and ive only caught one fish on the beach with spinnerbait

[@bosqu005]

I typically throw spinner baits using 30# braid on a spinning rod but probably half my casts comeback with the spinner blades tangled in my fishing line. How do I prevent this from happening?

[@travismoran9642]

It's most likely happening on the cast. On a baitcaster you are thumbing the line so it keeps the spinnerbait in line instead of tumbling in the air. With the spinning rod, you can slow the line down at the end of the cast, with your free hand, which make the bait land in the water already pointing in your direction. When it lands randomly, as you start to retrieve, the line can tangle in the blades. It's kind of hard to explain but I hope this steers you in right direction. I may have to do a quick IG video on this bc it's a great question with a simple fix once you understand what is happening.

[@thisme3138]

Another tip try to use these with high wind with low wind and no water agitation they have more visibility and won’t bite it as much

[@JG_23_]

Yeah high wind and low cloud cover works the best

[@JohnSmith-tz7iy]

Are trailers mandatory on spinner baits? If not, then when can you skip them?

[@travismoran9642]

NO trailers are not mandatory. My general rule of thumb is the more stained the water, the bigger the trailer I use. In clearer water I use a smaller trailer or non at all.

[@barendvanderberg8559]

Thx man

[@rkdheewon]

What size spinnerbaits do u usually throw on ur setup?

[@travismoran9642]

rkdheewon great question. I throw a 1/2oz most of the time.

[@rkdheewon]

@@travismoran9642 cool cool thx. I was throwing a 3/8oz and seemed like I needed more weight.

[@travismoran9642]

@@rkdheewon there is always times you need to change up to fit specific situations, but I find the 1/2oz gives me the most range of being able to fish the most conditions.

[@84gandrus]

Would 8 or 12lb florocarbin work instead of mono

[@damionw9740]

Can you use them in lake erie?

[@bicalijd_pierfishing9652]

Hello can you fish saltwater with spinner baits

[@codymac4707]

Where I’m from I have never got a bite on a spinner bait. Sad days.

[@saeedalhashmi735]

Hello I know it’s a small chance of you seeing this but I wanted to ask what should I do with a spinner-bait ? I have a snap on the end of my leader should I put it on the spinner or cut the snap or cut it and tie a knot in the spinner?

[@braybray2131]

When I fish spinner baits I will 100% keep the snap on, the swivel helps it spin in a natural way that the fish cant stand. I recently posted a video on my channel showing this u can check it out if u want!

[@lh883]

Wow just learning how to use spinner bait I known this video is four years old but not telling me what I need to know do I tie the line to the spinning bait with a knot are use a swivel. For someone with 97ksubscribers how to believe.

Say it aint so Travis... Not kast king!! Lol

[@travismoran9642]

haha I use a little of everything.

[@kcrsxtypes]

Do you own any KK products? I have several and they've been great.

[@derekp1422]

I never realized how bad these things look in the water. I guess the flash and vibration is enough for the bass

[@sasquatchtv4157]

Derek Phoungphol I usually throw it on a small drop shot, allows it to better balance out. I know what you mean the bait looks very unnatural in this video.

[@travismoran9642]

generally in clearer water a littler faster retrieve is needed so the fish don't get as good a look at it.

[@dominiconate528]

This spinnerbait in the vid does not look natural in the water lol, the spinnerbait is riding nose up too much doesn't look good imo
