A lot of time the chasers will attack when the bait does something other than a straight retrieve. That’s why banging into cover works so well

I often use them around docks early in the day before the fish have gravitated completely underneath them. Fish frequently dart out after the spinnerbait bumps a post, beam, or weed.

      I do not do well with a spinnerbait in the open water, windy and choppy and overcast or not. However, a spinnerbait has been killer for me, and here's how: I hug the bank with them. I'm talking 36" or
