Inline spinner baits.

[ProVle]

I have caught a lot of fish over the years on baits like Rooster tails, Shysters, Blue Fox etc. yet you seldom hear about them anymore. I guess it is maybe a marketing thing to push more money making baits.

[Transom]

I use them occasionally. They work great but I tend to throw spinnerbaits around grass and the bent wire style are much better around grass.

I’ve been making my own for too many years to count. Think cp swinger / Swiss swinger style and they still catch fish for me. I created a new style this year to get past line twist with them. Line twist is a killer throwing inlines from a boat.

About the only time I throw roostertails anymore is when I'm fishing for whites.

There is a good story about Billy Westmoreland on Dale Hollow fishing a Pedigo Spinrite and a lost Smallmouth he thought was the new record.

They are like a snag magnet for me............like throwing them but really hesitate.

I've caught a lot of fish on a Mepps #3, CP Swing and a Hildebrandt in line spinner. Open water around docks and ripping them out of thin weeds.

Years ago I found Terminator brand inline spinnerbaits, held up well. Used them for perch on LSC.

[FiveBitesFishing]

Guys don’t talk about them but they work great in the fall and quite a few guys throw them in local tournaments I have fished

[mattmann7]

I used the big size in-lines to solve the puzzle of fishing shallow weeds when its windy. Hildebrandt Snagless Sally.

If I'm targeting Bass I'm not even thinking about tying on an inline spinner ever. Largemouth or Smallmouth, anymore.
Now Musky, Pike Trout and Salmon are a different story around here. Love my inline's with a steel leader

I’d like to get my ultra light action rod out, and just go around throwing a 1/8 ounce rooster tail all day. I miss that. Catch everything that swims in the same day.

[ECobb91]

I don’t use them for bass anymore. But a #3 mepps firetiger for largemouth and red/white for smallmouth were my go to lures when I was young.

now for stream trout, they’re basically the only lure I throw anymore, specifically #0/#1 blue fox in silver, gold, or copper They seem to out perform spoons or stick baits.

Panther Martins can be deadly when you hold the rod up and fish it like a fly in current. Love the rooster to

you mean like swinging a wet fly down stream? Never thought about doing that I’ll have to give it a try

[WStorey]

Fished an ABA open series on Logan Martin last weekend and the guy who finished 2nd caught them on an in line spinner. Might have to pick up a few to have in the boat now.

Yep. The blade swings so easy if you size it right. 6lb mono gets it done.

Little off topic but what ever happened to Shannon Twin Spinners. When I was a kid fishing farm ponds and reservoirs that was the lure to have. Wonder if anyone makes it anymore and would they work?
