don't be fancy... catch bass on a SPINNERBAIT

The spinnerbait is often forgotten about. Many anglers now use a chatterbait in areas where a spinnerbait would be a better option. Here's how I like to use one and the differences in the baits.

Man who ever is doing your camera work and editing give them a raise.

[@andrewvargas7156]

Idk camera moves quit a bit feel like im on a roller coaster

[@BLHomestead]

Yup feels more personal than all backroom production. Thought it was really good myself.

[@Cbill1987]

Big facts

[@CAPTAINJACKSIXX]

True! His content is very clean and focused. The camera follows his movements in a way thats easy to watch.

[@johngalt3568]

I have friends that used to accuse me of being addicted to spinnerbaits. Knew a CSM in the Army that called spinnerbaits my “one trick pony”. I have other skills and favs, (like jigs) but there are few other lures that are as good or better as search baits. I think we all gravitate to a lure or lures that become our most efficient tools, then we branch out from there.

[@markdillree5227]

Just getting back into fishing, last time I fished I was 15 or so. I’m 43 now, learning a lot from your videos and appreciate it greatly.

[@mikenaracon951]

I just learned more about these in 15 minutes than I have in all the years I’ve been fishing with them.

[@davidkirk2554]

The ABCs of spinnerbaits...PERFECT VIDEO... B.Lat ...Your a great ...natural teacher.... Been throwing spinnerbaits for 40 years....NOTHING will EVER replace it.... "They knock the booty out of it"....perfect..... that is the most fun of using one...

[@greenychic202aol]

*I would say it’s dang good since **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s caught a pike first time using it! My cousin had one that cost the same price I paid, but for one. And didn’t catch anything. I say it’s a winner!*

[@wiredconcepts]

I too am a life long member of the spinnerbait society! Get em Ol' Son!

[@xKaRiSmA]

Brian, you have the gift of teaching never stop. You have taught me a lot

[@eddiejoet]

BLAT Coming in clutch!!! Talking about my favorite bait of all time i have it tied on 100% of the time. It gets thrown no matter what!!!

[@bayoustateoutdoors9650]

The spinnerbait had caught millions of bass, when the chatterbait was a twinkle in his daddy’s eye 😎

[@izzyogre722]

I'm new to fishing, I have really enjoyed your videos always helpful. I pulled my first largemouth bass after using your advice on chatterbate . Thanks for the great videos!

[@frederickshebester2368]

I remember my paw paw saying he had a 1550 Ford 4 door and on Friday night everybody on the streer would come to listen to the fight on its AM radio, station was out of Fort Wayne, Indiana. He lived in the piedmont of NC. Gear ratio info helped a bunch. Thanks Brian.

[@edwardcowan7012]

I received a SOB with my BASS membership in 1972 and it has been one of my favorite baits ever since. I’ve caught about a Million bass on one!

[@Antznewz]

low light conditions do really well for white blades

[@gar58]

I ran across one of your videos today and immediately subscribed. Man, you keep it down to earth and real but a whole lot of info. Keep it up and good luck in all of your events!

[@patriotswillsurvive1893]

What a damn good, honest video. Zero bullshit. Love it!

[@FishingThePNW]

A lot of people still throw spinnerbaits. It's all about the right tool for the job. Spinnerbaits are better near hard cover while chatterbaits are better need soft cover. If you get a bunch of grass tangled in your blades, it ruins your cast and you have to pull out the grass every cast. That's where the chatterbait is better cause you can usually rip the rod to get the grass off. Absolutely love throwing a spinnerbait whenever I can get away with it but sometimes it's just too weedy for it.

[@funkymojo111]

Good point, I agree. I haven't been able to slow roll my spinnerbaits because the bottom 2 feet are algae and the spinnerbaits get caked.

[@romesds1722]

I appreciate the in-depth explanations of the blades, when to have a soft plastic & when to add a trailer hook. Gonna have to tie on a spinner bait this weekend and use some of these tips!

[@johnhipp7817]

Love that crushing bite/hit when using a spinnerbait. For me it is all Colorado blades. Larger for more thump or smaller for less. When using a smaller size bait I have even had large blue gill crush it.

[@xtrmfisher]

Spinnerbaits are my go-to lure. Learned how to use them watching Jimmy Houston years ago.

[@canesfishingadventures1951]

I see you held it down in my neck of the woods. My son is 11 and we love watching you.

[@williamj4538]

Your video edits are getting better and better. Fav fishing channel these days. 👍

[@TheTrombonism]

I have always loved fishing a spinner bait. I have probably caught more fish on a spinner bait than any other lure type. It is still a “go-to” for me.

[@arbot1]

great description man!! I really appreciate your time, I'm a noob, learning a ton!!!! Thanks!!!

[@bigmoemedina313]

Awesome Clinic BLat!! thanks so much in sharing this information with US. I have several Spinnerbaits in my arsenal which I use quite often, unfortunately haven't caught anything with them yet. Hopefully putting these ideas to work I can finally get the Skunk out of my Spinnerbaits for sure!!When you talk I listen B.Lat!! Thanks for such Instructional video.

[@iwreckdU]

Whoever gave the dislikes, I hope you get a bird’s nest every time you go fishing 😂

[@jamescollins6312]

Really good video, took a lot of notes on this one, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@FISHERYIN]

Really appreciate these videos Brian! They are a good reminder of back when all I knew was chucking and burning back a spinnerbait/chatterbait.

[@michaelseelye2478]

Im a big time spinnerbait fisher.....mad props to ya...love ur channel bro.

[@Nate_Higgins]

Best into music in fishing film history right there

[@VinnyC614]

Love me some spinnerbaits! All time favorite lure!

[@ryandenney2714]

Great video. I felt like we were just two dudes talkin about a bait. Simple and easy yet very comprehensive. Good work 👏

[@curtevans838]

Your intro music is always so good!

[@trust_theprocesscutsfishin3633]

🔥🔥🔥🎣 I love throwing a spinnerbait all year round

[@jonathanmccord8268]

I like your camera work. Feels natural and not overly rehearsed.

[@bassman6211]

I've yet to catch a bass on a chatterbait, plenty of pike though. I have however caught a TON of bass on spinnerbait. It's versatile, it's proven, and I can ALMOST always catch a bass on them. The spinnerbait gets my vote as the king.

[@Red-mo2uo]

B. Lat, I saw this notification, put on a spinner bait, and caught a pb pike. 32 inches. Thanks you 🙏🏻

[@rodcashman4793]

Great job explaining. I like spinnerbaits alot.

[@TheRealJoeKewl]

iCaught big ✌🏾google eyes✌🏾 on spinner baits (rock bass for folks not for Louisiana)… also my biggest bass!

[@chrischrist7982]

Great information !

[@rousefire]

I'm a spinnerbait freak and pour my own . I dont use a lot of different sizes and colors . I use the weight that matches my equipment for precise low trajectory casting and just a couple of blade configurations and colors .

[@aaronsnatic2446]

Went and did a little pond fishing yesterday. Caught 4 bass between 1 and 2 lbs on a 1/4 oz single copper willow leaf blade spinnerbait. First time I've used a spinnerbait in a few years. Use to be one of my favorites and then it kind of went by the wayside. I will definitely thrown them more often from now on, just love that spinnerbait bite.

[@AC-on6kp]

Thanks Brian!

[@mackharris2166]

I love a good Beetle spins man my grandfather taught me to fish. I like the big rooster tails also.

[@bankfishinglife9797]

I love spinnerbait fishing. Always have it tie on.

[@TheRealJoeKewl]

iStill buy & throw spinner baits… still figuring out this chatter bait ish!! 😎😂🤣✊🏾

[@Z3rks3]

I buy chatterbaits , but i hardly catch them . But if i put a spinnerbait on ill catch them all day. Im also in Maryland and they are shallow in ponds and small lakes right now so spinners have been working

[@tunit8946]

Same here.

[@lesstalkmorefishing1000]

Yup. Down here in the land of piranha where everything has teeth and the bite force to destroy your lures, old school inline spinners and spoons are kings haha

[@Jaqob76]

Like I've been to class. Great video.

[@kyledabbs3072]

Willow blades mimic schooling bait fish, and Colorado blades create more noise and vibration in the water.

[@bmoyer28]

Keep em coming, love the delivery and knowledge bombs my man.

[@jonahlawrence6204]

GOOD STUFF THANKS B LATT

[@justgoofingoff]

If you're ever in Virginia looking for a place to fish, I'm on the hot side of Lake Anna, would love to have you on my boat. Love your vids...

[@pops1664]

Personal Best came off a 3/8 all white spinner out of the Ches. Bay! Maybe about 5ft depth. Good Luck this weekend brother!

[@christopherblair8849]

Good stuff Blat! Thanks man

[@anthonyruffin3619]

Straight forward and simple thanks for the vid

[@Dpatt69]

Thank you for all the tips brother!

[@FishOn1]

Though I caught my PB on a chatter bait, I prefer fishing a spinnerbait most of the time. Only in very heavy grass is the CB better for me. For my area, I throw more bluegill and yellow perch colors. I throw a gold blade more often than not.

[@jigheadgino47]

Yo loving the channel bro ur truly one of the greatest

[@WesV]

Great production!

[@dhjhawk]

Thanks B. I need to up my spinnerbait game.

[@LOSTXPLAYGUN]

Great video as always Lat. Your dead on the money with the round profile blade spinnerbaits. I fish mine on a 6.4 reel and sometimes I get too fast.

[@RonMTube]

You've convinced me to give them a try. Thx!

[@garyfortenberry5829]

Caught a 4 and 5+ in Powell’s creek last week. The Occoquan wasn’t bad, had multiple 2+ up near the regional park ramp and the marinas downriver from there. Good luck. Rooting for a big win for you! If you go to Powell’s there is a row of old bridge pilings just past the RR bridge that submerge at high tides. I caught the big one off one of those pilings.

[@843rock]

Nice video. Really enjoyed it

[@garretthonakercrounse7822]

Great video Brian. I use the spinnerbait all of the time. It is still KING on the Ohio River. Especially small three willow models during shad spawn. Slow rolling an Indiana blade through shad schools during fall is a hot technique too.

[@MountainMenMilitia]

I never used to fish a spinnerbait for yrs or a chatterbait but this yr I got a few jackhammers and a few spinnerbaits and honestly I haven't been able to put the spinnerbait down. Still no fish on the chatterbait though.

[@kickinitoutdoors5782]

I love spinner bait and chatter bait throw both a lot

[@MotoBikeMike]

I throw spinnerbaits all the time up in 🇨🇦 🤘 love them

[@markbennett8788]

Hey blat wanna throw this out there but lipless crankbaits work fantastic for big bass on the potomac. I lived in virginia when i was stationed at fort lee we fished a lot of smallish bank tournaments there and lipless crankbaits are a must have setup for five pound plus bass there and theres a lot in the 5+ range

[@kirkreusch8415]

Not many people cover the spinnerbait deal and certainly not as in depth. Shad patterns, bluegill patterns. Willow leaf blades or Indian blades. These will cover 95% of situations. Love the content Brian.

[@christianclair5159]

13:51 I know EXACTLY what you mean 🎣

[@DAVE_WHITE]

Slow roll a 1 or 2 ounce spinnerbait in deep water in the summer?? hold on the big ol boys will hammer them down deep maybe one or 2 bass per trim but they will be over 4#

[@shotsrodsoutdoors5116]

Lol “some of the people that are watching maybe it’s you” lol 😂

[@janosczovek8524]

Excellent video really appreciate it I love the spinnerbait thanks 👌

[@bradtaylor8405]

Awesome video. Basically use the kiss theory.

[@jabarriley3799]

Great info

[@americafirst7794]

Hey bud I got a little tip and trick for you with your trailer there your little swim bait put it on upside down and then just throw your either your ChatterBait or your spinnerbait and watch the movement you get just a quick tip

[@jeremynewhouse6530]

When nothing else works you can start down a bank with a spinnerbait and get a bite or two. I have one tied on 99% of the time

[@The-bourbon-angler]

I just recently put the spinnerbait back in my boat. Great info Blat. Thanks for the video

[@davidkirk2554]

Never Ever ... take it back out....

[@MattShepherdFishin]

I still sling them spinners. I keep it simple on colors, something green, something black, and something white with chartreuse

[@delcrow696]

My boat always has a 5/16 mouse finesse spinnerbait on one rod and a 1/2 or 5/8 on a second rod. For me August into October is always my best bite down here in GA. I cant catch fish on chatterbaits.

[@brianrobinson9979]

Matt Allen from Tactical Bassin has said, multiple times, that he prefers the white painted willows a majority of the time

[@markharp1988]

River2sea bling is a nice spinner bait 👌

[@BLHomestead]

It's got a little bit of ugh to it......lol. Had me rollin.

[@Cjdklh]

Really enjoying the music lately.

[@TerpDerp]

Was really looking for tips on HOW to fish the spinner bait

[@joeyeads2900]

This is going to be a great video

[@mattyjay8896]

Every fisherman should definitely have a white Snagless Sally in their tackle box!!

[@opinionatedviewer7730]

I have been catching plenty of quality bass over the last few days on the zman and war eagle. I definitely prefer the zman, that head is top notch!

[@rexista1]

Great video sir

[@chrismelvin9955]

Around lake Wylie just a little north east of you the spinner bait is a go to.

[@EasternPaAngler]

Z-man has the best spinnerbaits on the market right now. They have consistently out fished every other brand I throw including megabass.

[@darenburnett6079]

Awesome! I Still Use Spinner Baits I Recently Caught My PB Large Mouth Bass On A White Skirt Gold Diamond Bladed Skrike King Spinner Bait! Love Your Channel Just Awesome!!!

[@theeverydayanglers8313]

Great content. Is you compartment organizer specific to falcon boats?

[@HPOfficejet4650]

Camera man needa raise 😂

[@robjones7410]

As always, Brother, I appreciate you sharing the knowledge! Question though, what about running a spinner with NO skirt?

[@calebrabion4786]

I love spinners.

[@fishingwithbigchris5470]

That opening music though! You arent too far from my neck of the woods, you ever hear of or fish a lake called Briery Creek here in Va? Its not as high profile as it used to be because of LMB virus hurt the pop but it used to put out 12lbers like candy back in the day.

[@stevenbernard9725]

Spinner bait is like throwing a set of car keys, lol... according to a dude I take fishing.
