Retrieving Spinners
What is the best way to retrieve spinners? I've got a couple of celtas and it seems to my inexperienced eye that they spin and present better when retrieved faster. When I try to slow down the retrieve (as I've been practising when casting soft plastics) they don't seem to have much action and at the slowest speeds don't impart any action at all. The thing is I feel like I'm retrieving the lures much too fast for a fish to strike and I feel like a fool skull-dragging my celtas through the water. I've mostly been fishing urban lakes and impoundments. Cheers.

Re: Retrieving Spinners
Do slowest possible but still making the blade spins.
If the blade isn't spinning, means too slow.
Btw, we can never really wind/retrieve too fast. The fastest reel built is still slower than the slowest fish in the world.

Re: Retrieving Spinners
My advice is in deeper water jig and then let it sink a little but I’m as inexperienced as you

Re: Retrieving Spinners
I think you should give mepps spinners a try, they spin even when retrieved at a very slow speed.

Re: Retrieving Spinners
I looked at these in Anaconda and thought they were a bit dear. I'll give them a go and compare.Irishfisherman wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 11:39 amI think you should give mepps spinners a try, they spin even when retrieved at a very slow speed.

Re: Retrieving Spinners
Use anti twist keel in front of spinners to assist in reducing line twist - See meppstas posts.
