The Best Of All Lures?
There is a lot of different bait that you can choose from when you are in any store with reasonable size. You have all that shiny metal just asking you to be bought. Most of them you should probably just ignore.
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.
The bait that I am talking about is the spinner. This bait has been used for so many years that it, in normal circumstances would have been retired. That is not the case with spinners. With all the new technology in the fishing industry, these old school spinners still do the trick just as good as any other lures. If not better!
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.
The best known spinner in the world is probably Mepps Black Fury. It is truly a legend. If you have never used a spinner but have a picture in your head of one, this is probably the one you are thinking of. It has an unprecedented record for catching trout.
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.
Spinners does not catch fish with no trick up its sleeve. The most important part of the success story is the movement it has in the water. When that movement is combined with a low humming sound, the fish just can’t help themselves.
