My only problem with inline spinners and bass is inline spinners love to get hung up on anything and everything.  And since we don't really have much of a smallmouth population here, they're often not the best choice, since fishing open water is generally unproductive.  But under the right conditions, they be a great lure.  I always keep a few with me, even if I rarely get around to using them.    

If I could only have one lure it would be an inline spinner.  I would prefer to have many different sizes, blade types, and colors, but if I could only have one, it would be a Blue Fox Vibrax #3 silver blade, blue body, single hook.  I am confident I could catch fish anywhere in the world with this bait.  Last year it killed a skunk for me with a 5.5 pound bass.

I'm going to get my first snagless sally wet this weekend. Looking forward to it!

When I was a youngster, it was one of only two lures I used, the other being a plastic worm. Mepps Aglia was my favorite. I would throw the spinner first and stay with it if it was being hit. If not, switched to the trusty old plastic worm.
