There is a lot of different bait that you can choose from when you are in any store with reasonable size. You have all that shiny metal just asking you to be bought. Most of them you should probably just ignore.

Be careful when you ignore bait, there is at least one kind you should not rule out so quickly. It is one of the lures that catches most fish, and it is one of the bestsellers in the stores.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, the bait that i am talking about is the spinner. If it had been a human being it would have been replaced ages ago. The spinner has one advantage though, it still works. A lot of the new high tech equipment that has seen the light of day in recent years, will never be as effective as spinners are. That tells a lot of how good these lures are.

The obvious first choice of anyone who tries to catch a trout should be a spinner. They can be used in just about any situations, from still water to streaming rivers. Today there are plenty of different spinners to choose from in the stores. The two companies who probably sell the most is Mepps and Blue Fox. Of course, there are some local variations but on the market as a whole these two are on top.

Mepps is the company behind the legendary Black Fury. The black fury is the spinner that most people think of when hearing the word. It has caught so many trout during the years that no one would even believe the number.

The other big company, Blue Fox, has its own little legend in their rooster. It is a series called Vibrax. It is very popular and has the advantage over Black Fury that it comes in a lot more colors. This gives the fisherman more options.

The secret behind the success of spinners is a two part tale. The first part is about the alluring movement in the water. The second part is about that low humming sound it makes. Either way, the fish thinks that it looks delicious and just loves to bite at it!
