Spinnerbaits are an essential piece of equipment for any predatory fisherman, especially popular in the US and increasingly popular in Europe. Unlike classic spinners, these lures offer several advantages due to their unique construction. The design makes them particularly effective for fishing between aquatic plants and other underwater obstacles where other lures often get snagged.
These lures are not only suitable for catching perch and zander, but also for areas with a lot of vegetation where pike are often found. Spinnerbaits are designed to glide effortlessly through vegetation-rich waters without tangling, making them ideal for catching pike and perch. It is therefore advisable to always have a spinnerbait with you if you want to fish in such conditions.
Spinnerbaits are most effective when they are reeled in at a constant speed, similar to fishing with a normal spoon or Wobbler. However, it is advisable to start with a quick cast and then take a few breaks. This can encourage predatory fish to strike, especially when the "skirt" of the spinnerbait pulsates, which can be an additional trigger for the predatory fish.
When buying spinnerbaits, it is important to consider more than just the casting weight in relation to the rod, but also the resistance that lure when retrieving. Spinnerbaits with larger blades offer more resistance and require a heavier rod to be effective. Therefore, it is important to choose a rod that is heavier than the weight of the spinnerbait to ensure optimal performance.
