Inline Spinners

[Jraut98]

What your guys favorite inline spinner brand what colors you like and what do you catch on them

[Gaerith]

Mepps. Color depends. They last the longest; I've tried blue fox and the paint came off after 3 casts.

[Marty]

The one I've used most over many years of fishing is the Mepps Aglia with a silver blade. Inline spinners will catch any species of fish that's willing to hit an artificial lure.

Mepps Anglia #3, #4, #5 silver blade gray dressing, gold blade Brown dressing, white red blade gray or brown dressing.

Panther Martin silver blade yellow fly #4 /#6

Joe's fly 1/4oz bass size firetiger apache, blackgnat, glo tiger, white Miller, March Brown, mellow yellow.

Wordens white dialmation silver blade white body black spots.

I agree.

I prefer Mepps, they seem to last much longer than a roostertail, I use them quite a bit for peacock bass.  Goose's tip about bending the blade is pure genius.

[TheSmilingSwordsman]

Panther Martin is my in-line spinner of choice.  I have had my best luck with a black with gold blade spinner.

These little lures can be killers.

Where gooses info on bending the blades?

[SirSnookalot]

All that's needed is just to bend the blade a smidgen with a pliers.

The Panther Martins are my favorite due to the easy turning blade as the result of not using a clevis. The Rooster Tails are my least favorite for just the opposite reason.

Panther Martins are my favorite spinner too, followed by Mepps. Rooster Tails are a distant 3rd.

I have made my own for many years. I use a #3 Hildebrandt  single bladed spinner and a dressed treble hook. I dress the hooks with squirrel tail in different colors that I get from a fly tiers supply. I have caught fish from Idaho, New Mexico, Arizona, Arkansas, and Oklahoma with them. Everything from rainbow trout, smallmouth and largemouth bass, all kinds of perch, and some things I didn't even want to catch with them. You can make the hooks weedless by turning the thick end of the hair back over the hooks and flaring it out. They wear forever and are tough to beat for a light spinner. If you want something a little heavier, a lure called a "Snagless Sally" (I believe it is made by Heddon) is hard to beat.

I just recently bought a few hilderbrandt spinners. You can dress them up how you like. When I figure out the 'sweet' colors for my area I'll be modifying them to suit.

[everythingthatswims]

Get rid of those spinners and start fishing trout magnets and gulp minnows!

[SirSnookalot]

In line spinners are one of my go to peackock bass lures.  Recently on a fresh re spool with braid I tied line to leader, didn't take long for the wind knots because of excess twist.  Going back to a BB swivel, not a perfect remedy but IMO better performance.

[Bankbeater]

Rooster tail in snow color.  I don't use it unless the bass have been turned off for a while. The bait will catch anything that can swallow it.

[coak]

My go to is the Shyster made by Luhr Jensen. These get on track so fast and in a swift moving river current at that. A really underused/underrated lure with bass fishermen IMO.

White Rooster Tail will catch anything that swims around here.

Make your own and paint and assemble any way you want - I've been making my own since the mid 80's and still like making and using!! 

 

The one on the right is a panther martin my nephew asked me to copy mine is on the right

 

My electric chickens

[Dillo]

they are great for new water that you dont know what kind of fish live in there. I like panther martin, but they are fairly expensive, so i like mepps too. You can catch anything on them.

[Snakehead Whisperer]

I also make my own.

 

Off the shelf I really like the Blue Fox Vibrax and Hildebrandt weedless (killer snakehead lure for fishing through spatterdock.)

 

The Joe's Flies Short Striker is pretty good too. 

[BasshunterJGH]

I like Panther Martins. My favorite color is holographic trout and 3/8 ounce size.
