The Bait That Never Dies

Someone who is new to fishing might be overwhelmed by the number of different bait and lures that is on the market today. They might even ask if it is any point in using all of them. The answer to that question is of course no, most of them can be ignored.
One lure should not be forgotten though. It is an all time classic that still is on top of its game. It catches fish today like it has done for several decades, if not centuries.
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.
Blue Fox most known spinners is the Vibrax series. It is also one of the classic spinners that almost everyone has tried. Compared to the Black Fury, you have a lot more colors to choose from with your Vibrax spinner.
The secret behind the success of spinners is a two part tale. The first part is about the alluring movement in the water. The second part is about that low humming sound it makes. Either way, the fish thinks that it looks delicious and just loves to bite at it!
