Mastering the Inline Spinner: Catch More Fish with Average Angler Life's Tips

BFS Fishing is Fun!

Fishing with an inline spinner can be a game-changer for anglers of all levels. In this blog post, we'll explore the techniques and tips that make this lure so effective, drawing from my recent fishing trip at Sonic Pond.

Using a Mepps Aglia inline spinner paired with an ultralight bait caster, I ventured out to test the waters. The clear conditions and slight wind made for an ideal fishing day, allowing me to demonstrate the spinner's capabilities.

Techniques and Tips

• Steady Retrieve: The key to using an inline spinner is a slow and steady retrieve. This keeps the blade moving just enough to attract fish without spooking them.
• Casting Strategy: Focus on casting near structures like rocks and vegetation, where fish are likely to lurk. Adjust your casting angle to cover more water and increase your chances of a strike.
• Observational Skills: Polarized glasses are a must-have, allowing you to see fish movements and prepare for strikes.

Fishing with an inline spinner is not just about the catch; it's about the experience and learning from each outing. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, these tips will help you make the most of your fishing trips. Subscribe now for more fishing adventures and insights!

Ultralight Baitcasting with a Mepps Inline Spinner

Decided to run down the road to the local pond (Bethany Lakes) and see what was biting. Brought the KastKing Zephyr BFS Reel and Ultralight Lures and left the fly rod at home. Plan was to fish Roostertails but switched to a Mepps Inline Spinner since the Trout seemed to be interested in them – specifically, a copper bladed Mepps Inline Spinner. Trout were following the spinner but not striking which was promising given they ignored gold, silver, and black.

For fun and games, fished only the copper bladed Mepps Inline Spinner to see how many fish I could catch. Worked the banks of two of the four ponds at Bethany Lakes… “Main Pond” and “Back Pond”. Caught a number of fish – Bass and Bluegill.

Check out the video, and do guess how many I caught…?
