H&h Spinner Baits

[Jaderose]

Picked a few up...different colors and blade set ups.  My question is on trailers....do you use them on this bait?  Can you put a couple of minnows on them or is is best not to use one.  They are old school and I like them, I just need a little guidance on them.

I'd use sweet beavers that are cut down.

You mean the old versions where they had kind of a double hook, like a small double frog hook?  I recall buying some of those in the late 80's, but I never did any good with them, probably because the places where I threw spinnerbaits, that double hook just gathered too much vegetation.  That was my issue with them, anyway.  I didn't think that they fished well in grass, much worse than a standard spinnerbait.

I always used them plain. I liked them in current .

I always used them plain as well.

 

What I use far more often are their larger jig spinners and I swap out the grub for a Mann's Sting Ray or  Ike's Devil Spear. Rig them horizontally and you get a nice action.

Yep...the double hook old school one.  I figured it was plain but I might try a few things with it.

I   put the hook on upside down , every-time and have to redo it. LOL

I use to walk the banks of the Mississippi river and fish rip rap banks. Id cast the H and H spinners upstream and reel  them in fast enough to feel the blade  turn. They were killer lures. When a barge would go by , especially one going up river , huge waves would bang up against the rocks dislodging crayfish and baitfish. Largemouths , smallmouts , walleye , and whites would take advantage and feed aggressively.  Thats when the h and h really shined. They were cheap too, so I didnt mind losing them in the rocks.
