Let's start with spinnerbaits.

A Time to Grow......Mac
I've learned a lot from the people and participation in this site and this forum in particular, but am having difficulty lately learning about techniques, strategy and presentations. I'd like to see us designate just one week to focus on specifics of presentation. We willingly share the lure we use, but don't often tell exactly how we use it. The value and knowledge seems to be in the How....at least that's what I value learning the most. I posted about my friend outfishing me by wacky rigging small curtail grubs, putting them on the jig hook sideways to make more commotion on the retrieve through the weeds and slowing down the fall on the drop. To me, that's the meat of presentation, not the type of jig, test and type of line, rod, reel, etc. etc. Then to add pauses between pulls, a small twitch at the end of a pause, more meat, food for thought.

OK Mac While it's tempting to talk about which spinnerbait, which rod/reel, which line etc lets focus on presentation alone.

I love spinnerbaits and always have and catch lots of fish on them so I suppose I'm as qualified as most. Throw spinnerbaits where they are certain to contact as many things (sticks-limbs-rocks.....) as possible on their way back to the boat. Before, between and after contact points, a slow steady retrieve is hard to beat. Sometimes give them a quick snap just as or just after they hit whatever. Sometimes kill them just then and allow them to flutter down a moment. Unless the water is very stained try to keep visual contact with them. Throw them in places most people would only throw a texas rig worm or a jig. In places void of vertical wood but lots of vegetation, find lanes or breaks in the weeds to work or run them parallel to weed edges. You cannot fish a spinnerbait too slow as long as the blades are spinning, you can fish them too fast.
