Spin fishing

When the line is reeled back, the spinnerbait blades will spin passively with the oncoming water flow, in turn stirring up a significant amount of turbulence and noise, which transmit through the water and provoke predatory fish to strike the lure out of their foraging as well as territorial instincts.

From the angler's standpoint, the delivery is a non-stop series of rhythmic strokes that jerk the lure by snapping slack line.

From the fish's standpoint, it's a frightened creature that's basically treading water with a lot of wasted motion.

The success of walking the dog is partly because the lure never stops moving, making it difficult for bass to get a good look.

Common freshwater targets are trout, salmon, perch, chub, bream, pike, walleye, blue kurper and bass.

Lures and spinners are both simple and effective, with the idea to imitate prey fish for pike and zander.

They all can be equally effective on their day especially in the summer and autumn months, and there are thousands to choose from made from a variety of materials.
