Does anyone us inline spinners for large or small mouth bass? if so what do you recommend?

 

Also, what are your favorite small mouth bass baits?

My favorite is the Mepps dressed XD #3.

I might have a new fav for ya, I've been known to talk after a double scotch or bourbon neat  . I'm on 'em right now, slow rolling a 3/8 one. That  #3 is good for sure.

Almost 8 PM at 11 Degrees, Camp Lemonnier for example.... 

I prefer a Mepps or Panther Martin over the Rooster Tail Brand. Many many years ago when I first got on the river in-line spinners I threw a high percentage of the time. Really a carry over of trout fishing. Productive smallie bait. 

Rooster tails have to be burned to get the spin on.  Panther Martins are the best at slow rolling.

"Chill" can certainly be a relative term - 

Either way . . . . .

It's going to 55º today, so I'll give it a shot for a couple of hours.

Sorry for hijacking your OP with booze. shoot me your mailing address on a PM and I'll put a couple of inlines in the mail for you if you want. Where did I put down my glass?....

I use either Rooster Tail or Mepps.  I'll fish with them when the bite slows way down.  Always seem to catch a small largemouth, or panfish.

Said the salmon guy as he stared longingly at his spoon box....  

But yes, they do need to get jump started more than most.

i had a mepps spinner this past fall, but had a bad luck day with it.  bite was really slow. texas and ned rig both didnt work. so i figured i would give it a shot. nice 1-2lb bass hit it on the 3rd cast. nice fighter. went to snap a quick picture, he made on hell of a quick flap and snapped my line with the lure still in his mouth. saw im swim away with the mepps hanging from his mouth as a small rock bass came to swipe at it. 

well that looks fancy
