I'm on my quest to master Bait.

[@TheRollingCoinStore]

I like your bass fishing tutorials the best. Quick and easy to grasp. Your'e a good teacher.

[@tri_nofeet]

This is Lake Powell, nn the border of Utah and AZ. Thank's Wayne for the great vidoe

[@RANGERROCKET25]

Looks beautiful and a nice place to fish!

[@pinktacoetr]

this video is good for beginners whom are not familiar with the most basic of descriptions of a spinner bait.

[@Carson273]

I just got a spinner bait and you inspired me

[@BUSTERZEUS1]

this guy has become an icon of my life and the ultimate granfather

[@TheReviewScientist]

Rooster Tail. Best spinner bait I have ever used.

[@angelarich915]

yass

[@Kedbuka]

Good video, good instruction. Thank you!

[@mossyo92]

Good tip. Just brushing up on how to use what lures I have

[@cameltoejoe69]

depends on time of year, if your slow rolling 1 and 1/2 oz spinnerbaits go with a 5:4:1 or 5:3:1 but if your burning them go with a 7:3:1

[@fuerstmetternich5935]

if you use a trailer hook attached to the main hook(thru the hook eye, can be secured by sliding an aquarium rubber piece over the eye of the trailer hook)you can set the hook right away, so the bass don't have time to drop the bait(remember to insert with the hook part up, like the main hook)...tight lines!

[@TheM1cK3y]

really looks like a great place to fish. that was a great description of spinner bait and a great technique thank you very much really helpful

[@gabrielgarland3406]

Rafa lopez. Uou tie the knot on top of the spinner where it has the bends. When u hold it up by the line the bait should hang down straight not sideways. Hope this helped

[@treyfarley4728]

I have a homemade spinner made by my uncle and it is the best ive ever use

[@UMP45TrYhArD1]

where are you fishing it looks amazing

[@ChopperRead]

nothing like burning blades, my fave way to fish!

[@aburningflame2]

because the triangle shape in it, the heaviness of the lead head allows you to easily pull it through weeds.

[@fuerstmetternich5935]

i see some arguments if it is weedless or not...if you want weedless, try a "snagless sally", it is an inline spinner with a wire guard that will work anywhere...a good standby in any tackle box.... also you can in some instances slide a soft plastic lure over the hook of your spinnerbait(or trailer hook) texas rig style to make it more weedless, but the bar of the spinnerbait deflects quite a bit of underwater vegetation....and branches....

[@MrWoodysChannel]

Great adivce. I often get over excited and try to set the hit immediately and often pull it loose.

[@TotallyNotSirius]

dude! he is just a old man, be kind and there is weed less spinner baits. thank u i catch a lot of fish with that tip

[@22ratshot]

@iTzMeThoDz I had that happen(brand new Quantum rod). The rod had a factory defect in one of the eyelts that was cutting the line.

[@casvin97]

look it up... its a weedles rig

[@rconlowtank]

Chad Vann best way to learn is to go and practice first by casting then when u get the hang of it go to a lake or the ocean and fish be careful reels are made for either salt or fresh water

[@angelasheppard7197]

awesome demo

[@426superbee4]

And if you wait to long the bass will swallow it, or will spit the hook out

[@goatgaming4611]

Dang that’s some great camera quality for 2009

[@pvmdodgers]

Nice video

[@AfternoonProductions]

@krasekus no, powerbait is a rubber worm brand

[@zooomybass]

Hey what gear ratio do you use for spinnerbaits?

[@10thefishermen]

just started using spinnerbaits

[@zammystavez]

@TexasAngler1 Depends what fish and what size fish you are targeting.

[@taipan342]

@RANGERROCKET25 I agree dude, looks like the kinda place bear grylls would hang out

[@jameschiri1726]

Can I fish off a dock or shore with this?

[@twiggyskripten1473]

no trailer hook haha and i hate the spinners where you through the skirt on. i only use one that have the skirt attached

[@PCGAMERZUNITED]

I wonder how many times they had to shoot the casting scene and not have it get stuck in the weeds?

[@hballen123]

@yamomotivebasspro spinner baits work great in the spring and mostly pre spawn

[@RandyLeonProductions]

goodstuff love those things.

[@dannyboy768]

How is it weedless though. The hooks exposed

[@scottspencer4299]

smart man

[@mustangc80]

can I put a weight on it if its too light?

[@7bassing]

@mtinch7 hey u shouldve used u a plastic worm that day and u couldve tripled that number of bass trust me..where i fifh they suck and i fish in alot of places and ive been fishing for awhile

[@TexasAngler1]

Does it matter how big the spoon is? like the bigger the more the fish will come to it,??

[@Sheldontehpwner]

That's why you use a texas rig

[@TexasAngler1]

What if the fish goes to bite the spoon & not the hook ,Has that ever happened?

[@MrWoodysChannel]

Only if it's a leather miniskirt!

[@mackleswimbaits]

@7bassing you must be a baitfisherman

[@drummadave60]

you can eliminate the pause giving the fish time to get away by using a trailer hook i dont fish spinners without one

[@ChirmDPD]

@9w2xyz I did last weekend.... don't do it. the weight was probably to much for it or something. the swivel unsnapped and i lost it.

[@charronfamilyconnect]

Does this work for trout and do you add weights?

[@armjamal1]

@mtinch7 agreed!

[@drummadave60]

@mtinch7 you can work a spinnerbait through weed beds and ive hardly ever got weeds on them

[@asianwannabeamerican]

@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa this is Lake Powell in Utah/Arizona

[@pinker172]

You have to high tip your pull in weeds for it to be weedless

[@rockinrondogg]

I just started fishing and the first (and only so far) fish I caught was a rainbow trout on a spinnerbait this size and it was only about a foot long, don't know how the hell it got it's mouth around the hook

[@9w2xyz]

@ChirmDPD I dont suppose the ball bearing swivels would work? I tried it... and caught 2 monitor lizards. About 3 and a half feet long. WHooooooeeeeee.....

[@ernestog2533]

can u use a spinner in the ocean? pier? sorry for the dumb question

[@lucusthewhiteboy]

yea

[@MrRealtreehunter]

What time of year

[@Ricky714SA]

Where on the spinner do I tie the fishing line? Need Help please.

[@gabrielgarland3406]

On top of the bait. Where the bends are. The bait should hang straight when u hold it by the line. If it hangs sideways ur line is in the wrong spot. Hope it helps.

[@Jedhaase]

do they like red spinner baits?

[@FrogLegs1999]

i get weeds with it all the time with it too.

[@kilowatt76]

Where are you fishing?

[@MrBencortman]

looks like some nice sedimentary structures in the background there

[@mattweeeee]

I often watch videos of people shooting at the range and leave compliments on the lush beauty of the grass.

[@lacrossefootballman]

what i do with my spinnerbait is i put a trailer hook and a tail on it

[@Freemasonry]

add a trailer hook. You wont get short strikes

[@ajatkinson2004]

I can see them being "weedless", but algae is a much different story. Algae will get on anything lol

[@veroman007]

why does a fish want to eat that metal thing? do you need to find a bush to drag it over?

[@evandickson19]

veroman007 from what I've been taught bass strike a lure either as a reaction strike or for feeding. This could irritate or threaten a bass leading it to stoke in defence. Unlike a more natural bait where it thinks the bait is a good source.

[@cassidynguyen0707]

k9k

[@trapdoorboygamesvlogs8176]

what lake where you fishing at

[@bryan-jp3sr]

kan het met molen

[@9w2xyz]

youre not supposed to use a swivel with a spinner bait?

[@952pin]

i don't think he found the bass that was hiding in that bush.

[@cheezoncrack1]

Spinnerbaits dont get stuck on weeds?

[@rogdanago5894]

cheezoncrack1 most of the time they wont but they are not anti weed caught if that makes sense

[@Froggies505]

new to fishing.... must be some city slicker 'turned country'

[@zeeKxxL]
