  1. I've had my hand slip off the reel handle too-especially when using spinnerbaits. Water starts getting "squeegied" off the line by the reels line guide-making the handle wet and slippery. And, for whatever reason, when a bass hits a spinnerbait, it is USUALLY a hard hit.

    Oh, and I definitely agree that prime spots need to be cast too numerous times. MANY times it would take 9 or ten casts before I could coax a bass into biting. It seems to me the more sparse cover is, the more times you should cast to it.

  2. Great information on spinner bait fishing. I also appreciate your technique in handling and releasing fish promptly after the catch. I sometimes find myself talking to the videos when the fisherman talks while holding his fish like forever.

  3. Awesome. My go to year round lure. I've found in the spring and fall when fish are cruising banks that burning a spinnerbait just under the surface will catch a lot of fish even if there isn't any cover. I also keep a soft plastic handy as a back up. I've caught a lot of fish by following up a missed strike with a plastic or jig.

  4. Kevin Overly, I assume the water is pretty warm, at least 70 degrees. Also, you don't necessarily HAVE to bang it off of the trees/cover, but I would definitely try to if you can. Those sudden changes in direction you get from banging it off cover can trigger a strike on a fish that may just let it go on by if you're reeling it back in on a straight line.

    Play around with your retrieve speeds until you figure out what they like, there's not really a "THIS is the answer" to your question. A medium retrieve speed, for lack of a better term, (not burning it, but not slow rolling it) works well most of the time for me. If there's cover, I'll do my best to bump it from a few different angles. If there's minimal or no cover, sometimes I'll do a pause and go retrieve. The SB will flutter down a bit on the pause, and then I'll snap it back up to where I was retrieving it before. That tends to work better with swimbaits, but I've had luck doing it with SB's. Hope that helps.
