Your Bass Fishing Tip Of The Day Is

Spinnerbaits are often referred to as the most versatile bass lure because they can be fished in nearly any condition, year 'round. They can be fished in winter, summer, fall, spring, hot water, cold water, muddy water and even clear water; from just under the surface to as deep as you want to fish it. It also is the type of lure that can be fished in, over, through and around many forms of cover.

Slow rolling a spinnerbait in early spring can produced many trophy LMB. In a nutshell, the method consists of simply retrieving a spinnerbait slowly, near the bottom. Common depths for slow rolling in the spring range 1 from 3 to 12 feet, but you can work these lures effectively to depths of 25 feet.

The most popular spinnerbaits for slow rolling are 1/2- to 1-ounce heads with large willow leaf blades preceded by smaller Colorado or Indiana blades. When retrieved slowly, the blades spin just fast enough to turn over. The slow pace appeals to big, pre-spawn bass and lets the lure get down where the bass are feeding. Most bass anglers who practice on slow rolling dress the hooks on their spinnerbaits with plastic trailers.
