Inline spinners are incredibly effective fishing lures and good fishing lures for beginners. They are inexpensive compared to many other lure types, but reliably catch fish in all conditions. There is a wide variety of spinners made by companies like Mepps, Blue Fox, and Yakima Bait (Rooster Tails). Here we talk about the many types of in-line spinners, how to use inline spinners, when to use them, and how they work with underwater footage.

Your videos are absolutely high quality! Everything thing is well done: the information, the presentation, narration, the camera work, audio, and you get right to the point. Thank you for your time!
These lures catch every thing
Caught 3 bass today back to back with the black and gold.
I grew up casting Rooster Tails for trout in Central NJ. I have a good assortment of sizes now and use them to catch just about any fish that swims…largemouth, smallmouth, perch, northern pike in Ontario, trout. I have some huge ones for musky, but I haven’t thrown them 10,000 times yet.
Can it work without a swivel?
I dont have a swivel
Love mepps, caught a 40+ inch pike the other day with a green one
thank you Nat, I love your videos, clear, simple to understand, and direct to the point, apreciate it.
I have yet to catch a fish on a spinner ):
I fish with the spinner but never catch anything are there things I can do wrong?
Panther martin yellow with red in murky and black with yellow in clear water are what I use for trout, those 2 are significantly more effective than my other ones.
Ive never had any luck pr skill with spinners rooster tails or mepps specifically

Caught a small striped bass in my local river today. Too small for food but it was my second fish ever so a nice confidence booster on my in-line spinner. Thanks Nat![🙂](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f642.svg)
Joe's Flies "White Miller" with a single trailer hook #1 spoon. I've caught 5lb 14oz Large mouth Bass on it and all species in cold water streams.
You're doing great work!! Thank you![😁](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f601.svg)
Have people used the minnow spinner on shore
All I fish with almost is spinners in pa it’s been consistently good for all species! I use them to troll on me canoe
I fish smallmouth bass, and this lure is kind of like my “wacky worm”. Whenever no other lure is working, I’m throwing on a rooster tail
i’ve never caught anything on spinners![🙁](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f641.svg)
Thanks, Nat.
Excellent vid.
I've not been using in-line spinners recently.
Time to try them again.
Mepps #3 all white, gold blades.. or purple or pink… trust me big smallies
My favorite spinner is one I made myself
I had a big Mepps weed master and that thing caught me more pike than any other lure I’ve ever owned. It was bright pink which is what I found so hilarious about it.
I snagged it on a submerged root and have been looking for one in a shop for months.
When I make my own Inline spinners, I find most kits you buy never have enough brass to make them heavy enough for effective casting or depth, so I make my favourite hybrid inline spinners, where the top is standard spinner fair bot the bottom, I attach a small minnow head jig and slip a nice juicy curly tail on, especially if it has a glow in the dark tail. Good casting weight and the pike just can’t ignore them.
I made some double blade spinners this time and I think I did not too bad. Silver+green and Red+gold, paired respectively with blue silver and hi vis orange curly tails.
Panther Martin has left the chat
Pleace try Sølvkroken Spesial spinner – G/FL it's magik.
How do they not fall in the ground and carry all the dirt from there?
Hey Nat, much apreciated your videos, very helpfull to those willing to take fishing one step further. I am yet to give spinners a chance, got some 3-4 grams Panther Martin though, and I was wondering if I can add a split shot or two for extra weight and if that will affect the spinner in a negative way, would appreciate your advice.
Regards,
Florin
New sub channel is very informative thanks for sharing
A swivel usually don't help much. You can use off center head weight to avoid line twist, such as the Mepps Lusox do.
I had a spinner once.
good job Nat , as usual
Mepps comet is the best
Almost everytime I use these I catch something. Mepps are wonderful.
Mepps #2 & #3 dressed with a tri colored (white, yellow & green) blade for Northern & Bass
Concise, well informed, quality content is so hard to find. Thank you!
nice video .. can we use spinner bait in the sea for shore or rock fishing and what we do if the sea become more windy ?
I find size 4 to be large enough to cast and small enough for seatrout to take it. Anything below size3 has never worked for me. I didn’t use spinners much at all, because of the line twist, but since they do work, I have stopped caring.
My favorites are the Mepps Agila dressed, Panther Martin Classic, and Yakima Rooster Tail
Excellent video!
Black and silver Roostertail. Pike, walleye, crappie, black bass, white bass, channel cat, sauger, flathead, perch. It's my all time favorite and most productive artificial bait
Very Nice – Thanks!
