That's a Devil Horse. Never used one so no idea what you would catch with it or how to fish it. Like any other jerk bait I guess. What would you catch with it? Fish probably. Crab or lobster wouldn't take it. I've used a cast net to catch bait for fishing for blues on the Chesapeake. I sucked at it. We were trying to get some kind of little fish that ran in schools of about a billion. The blues would come in and just tear those little critters to pieces. I found that when they did that you really didn't need any bait to catch em - anything you threw out there with a hook on it was gonna get eaten. Glad they're not as big as sharks.

For Bass it can be deadly Smallmouth and Largemouth, it's a floating bait so just toss it up close to cover and twitch it. Vary your retrieve with it , twitch pause, twitch pause, twitch pause if that don't work twitch twitch twitch. at some point you find the rhythm the bass like for that day and they blow up on it. When the fish blow up hesitate your hook set until you feel the fish then set the hook.
I've used a pin's minnow for trout like that. I've caught a few. Man when they hit it they smash it, there's no doubt you got something on.
I love trout. They are so beautiful, they ain't gots no teeth, and they seem so docile and gentle. Then you catch a 3 or 4 pounder and they let you know what they're all about. Son of a gun!
yo freakish I'm 370 pounds have bone on bone in both knees plus arthritis in lower back, hands, and other joints but i love to fish and teach Fly-fishing. So I strap a chair on my walker and my net poles cane and push it down to the water set up my chair sit down and fish. I love to fish
When I was a kid, we had a shed in the yard and there was a bunch of lures in there. I have no idea what happened to them, but I would like to have them now. They’re probably antiques. My mom told me that her Greek father used to take a cast net down to the water and get a net full of silver minnows. He’d bring them home and put olive oil in a frying pan and fry them and eat them like French fries. Spirit is spot on about the Chesapeake Bluefish. If they are feeding on a school of fish, you can cast anything shinny with a hook in the middle of them and get instant hits. Just like fishing in a barrel. Stripers are the same at night under the lights where I worked. They would swim in a constant swirl in the light and casting a lure got the same result. Lots of fun!
That’sa devils horse. If you come by a bunch of them, would love to buy some

It's called a propeller bait. I caught my biggest bass on the exact same bait. I fish it early morning or evening. It floats and the blades rotate according to how fast you retrieve it. It's an old bait but a goody.

Maybe this winter when they stock the trout at Lake Dixon, no license needed just a $5 lake permit.
No use buying a license in the winter just to have in expire at the end of December.
Maybe you and a bunch of fishing friends should write to your Fish
& Game department and request
a change in regulations ! When
I first moved to Arizona, we had the same problem; licenses were only good for the calendar year in which they were bought (Jan. through Dec.) ! A few years later, enough fishermen petitioned the state for a change so that they
did so; now, a license bought on any given date is valid until the same date of the following
year !
No more getting 'short-changed'
for buying one later in the year !

They tried it last year and it was shot down by a San Diego congresswoman here, no reason given. She is on the board. It's up again this and they are pushing for it again but she seems to have all of the control over it. There's no way she'll be voted out with a "D" behind her name.
It could be a Zara Spook. Hank
That is indeed a devils horse
Devil's Horse. Fishing central Florida, I caught bass, a few gar and one pickerel. Those propellers stir it up.

Hmmm ! Accidents 'happen' to people all of the time, but sometimes they need to be
'arranged' to achieve a certain outcome ! "Dirty deeds done,
dirt cheap !"

That is definitely a Smithwick Devils Horse not an Eger Dillinger that some have equated it too.
