Spinners

When you are fresh in the fishing game you have a lot of different choices you have to make. One of the most important is what kind of bait you should buy. Most of them can without much sacrifice be ignored and forgotten.

Be careful when you ignore bait, there is at least one kind you should not rule out so quickly. It is one of the lures that catches most fish, and it is one of the bestsellers in the stores.

If you haven't figured it out yet, the bait that i am talking about is the spinner. If it had been a human being it would have been replaced ages ago. The spinner has one advantage though, it still works. A lot of the new high tech equipment that has seen the light of day in recent years, will never be as effective as spinners are. That tells a lot of how good these lures are.

For a trout fisherman, a spinner should be the first thing he gets for his new lure box. The trout just seem to love them. Luckily there are enough spinners to choose from in the stores today. The most popular spinner manufacturers on the market today are probably Blue Fox and Mepps. This varies a bit from place to place, but these two are usually right on top on every list.

If we can talk about legends among spinners, Mepps Black Fury is probably the biggest legend of all. When someone hears the word spinner, they usually think about this one. When it comes to catching the most trout, Black Fury leads by a mile.

The other big company, Blue Fox, has its own little legend in their rooster. It is a series called Vibrax. It is very popular and has the advantage over Black Fury that it comes in a lot more colors. This gives the fisherman more options.

The reason that fish just love spinners is that they move in a very alluring way and that they make a low humming noise when moving through the water. It just seems that a fish cant resist that combination!
