Hello! It's pre-spawn here in Rhode Island and I'm really trying to get into selecting the perfect spinnerbait for my conditions (I normally fish from the bank). Spinnerbaits are killers this time of year and I wanna fish them correctly. So, I was wondering: what are your general rules of thumb for selecting blade type (willow leaf, Indiana, Colorado) and color for your blades? I think I understand the skirt type should be brighter for dirty water and realistic/darker for clear water - but not entirely sure where one blade color and type would benefit over the other? Thanks a lot!

Hey everyone! I'm looking to get into swimming jigs while bank fishing around cover. What is the best way to go in terms of rod action, reel ratio and line selection in your opinion? I have some money to spend at Dick's. Also, would a swimming jig set up work for spinnerbaits, since it's a similar retrieve? Thanks!
