Spinnerbaits are pure and simple one of the best lures in existence for UK freshwater predatorsTunny said:
You can use them almost like a buzz/top-water lure or you can slow roll them along the bottom, and anything is between. You can use them in deep water up to or over 30 feet, and you can use them in depths less than 5 feet. Hell, well-constructed spinnerbaits even catches fish on the drop whilst they helicopter towards the bottom. If I was forced to choose one single lure for a perch, pike or zander outing it would with 100% certainty be a spinnerbait, simply because nothing can touch the versatility of these lures.
I use them for in weights ranging from 1/8oz to 4oz (3.5 to 112 grams) and when it comes to the bigger ones for pike I prefer a single large Colorado blade. For the smaller ones the double bladed version (willow and Colorado) is my favourite.
