To spin...or not to spin.

[DadofJolly]

Gentlemen,
Question for you guys that fish really CLEAR water lakes a lot: Do you fish spinnerbaits much? There are a lot of big fish caught every spring on my home lake on white spinnerbaits. Seems like every year there are a couple 10lb plus fish taken on them – usually a single colorado blade. Our lake is CRYSTAL CLEAR. All the pros will say that this is not the best choice for clear water situations. I'm not sure if it is just because two out of three boats have a guy fishing one or because they are such a reaction bait – and the fish don't care about the water clarity. Every spring I consider spending more time fishing one. But when I get on the water, it is so clear I can see the darn thing 40 yds away and I tend to lose my confidence in it and return to my confidence baits. Do you guys think the fish don't care or is there just a high "spinnerbait – to – bass ratio?" Thanks.
