Crankbaits and spinnerbaits.
You guys are confused. There are spinners and spinnerbaits. They are not the same thing. Spinners are like Rooster tails, Aglias, Panther Martins, etc. Spinnerbaits are some times called hair pins and are V shaped with a head on the bottom arm and a giant hook with a skirt. The blades are on the top arm of the wire. These are not interchangeable and each requires a different retrieve. While the spinner is difficult to fish in weeds and wood because it hangs a lot, the spinnerbait comes through like a champ. I tend to think of the spinner being a trout lure and the other is a bass lure.
Ditto on the trout/bass factor; although my terminology may have been 'off', I did specify the type of lure I was referring to and looking for ! Haven't had any luck with spinnerbaits, either ! Looking to improve my fishing style and productivity for trout with the spinners ! For bass, I'll stick with what has worked for me; rubber worms, grubs and tube baits, and crankbaits like Rattletraps, Rapalas, Rebels, etc. ! Will always fall back on live baits (where allowed) for both when/if all else fails !
