Does anyone us inline spinners for large or small mouth bass? if so what do you recommend?

 

Also, what are your favorite small mouth bass baits?

I might have a new fav for ya, I've been known to talk after a double scotch or bourbon neat :) . I'm on 'em right now, slow rolling a 3/8 one. That  #3 is good for sure.

Almost 8 PM at 11 Degrees, Camp Lemonnier for example.... :usa-flag-89:


fishing user avatarSpankey reply : 

I prefer a Mepps or Panther Martin over the Rooster Tail Brand. Many many years ago when I first got on the river in-line spinners I threw a high percentage of the time. Really a carry over of trout fishing. Productive smallie bait. 


fishing user avatarJ Francho reply : 

Rooster tails have to be burned to get the spin on.  Panther Martins are the best at slow rolling.

"Chill" can certainly be a relative term - 

Either way . . . . .

It's going to 55º today, so I'll give it a shot for a couple of hours.

Sorry for hijacking your OP with booze. shoot me your mailing address on a PM and I'll put a couple of inlines in the mail for you if you want. Where did I put down my glass?....


fishing user avatarBankbeater reply : 

I use either Rooster Tail or Mepps.  I'll fish with them when the bite slows way down.  Always seem to catch a small largemouth, or panfish.

Said the salmon guy as he stared longingly at his spoon box.... :) 

But yes, they do need to get jump started more than most.

i had a mepps spinner this past fall, but had a bad luck day with it.  bite was really slow. texas and ned rig both didnt work. so i figured i would give it a shot. nice 1-2lb bass hit it on the 3rd cast. nice fighter. went to snap a quick picture, he made on hell of a quick flap and snapped my line with the lure still in his mouth. saw im swim away with the mepps hanging from his mouth as a small rock bass came to swipe at it.

x2. A Snagless Sally is a go to bait in the South Louisiana marshes


fishing user avatarthe reel ess reply : 

 I use a 1/8 oz. Rooster tail for dink bass in my buddy's pond. It's chock full of 9" to 12" bass as well as big bluegill, so this is a natural bait. I like the firetiger color with gold blade.


fishing user avatarHeyCoach reply : 

Looks like I need to catch up with some Blanton’s when I get home.

 

I used to use whatever Walmart stocked back in the early to mid 90s and would catch a lot of panfish, so maybe I was using very light/small lures. But, then again I was 5. 

 

I’ve thought about trying some of the larger sizes for bass in the prespawn if some of my other lures don’t produce any given day.

They are worth the $.40 more. 

 

Wordens or whatever they are called use to have a rooster tail version with a blade setup like Panther Martin. Not sure where that amounted to. Maybe short lived.

Vibric rooster tails ...had a 1 piece  v shaped blade 

Oops yuup use ..mepps #3 black fury.,gold and silver ...i take off the stock  hooks and replace with tru turn SS catfish hooks.my spinners do double duty fresh and salt. 


fishing user avatarBassWhole! reply : 

Ended up with 4.

2 dinks on the 1/4 oz rooster tail, a 2 on the #3 Mepps, and a 3 on the 3/8 **********. Not too bad for a couple of hours in January.

Yes, I believe you are correct with that name. I'm sure, pretty positive that I have some smaller one used for trout. I don't think Mine have a "V" to the blade but I believe you. The shaft through the blade sticks out in my head.

 

Mepps spinners for bass have always been a bit of an easier find. Slightly heavier versions. I'm not throwing Muskie weight spinners but I'm not throwing UL 1/24 oz. or 1/32oz.


fishing user avatarjimmyjoe reply : 

   I used to use Mepps (et al.) a lot. I'd go in to a body of water and use a spinnerbait first. If that didn't work, I'd use a spinner. I used Aglia #4 or 5 for slow and/or shallow, then switch to Panther Martin 3/8 to 1/2 for deeper work. But I found out that the same exact scenario could be handled a better way; I switched to a smaller-form  spinnerbait. I go down to the War Eagle 3/16 finesse, and then on down to the Bomber Miniwhacker, if I can still find it. I found out that the step-down scheme works better than changing over to in-lines. On small and largemouth, that is. Pike, wipers and whites are a different story.  Walleye and sauger are a different  .....  world  ☺️  


fishing user avatarLCG reply : 

#4 Mepps agila, gold. Always keep a few on hand.

What about the Blue Fox Vibrax and Silver Bullet inline spinners?
