ING Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) There is some misunderstanding between In-Line Spinners and Safety Pin or Overhead Arm Spinnerbait. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinnerbait ) The last one at now usually called just Spinnerbait and it is causing misunderstanding because really both kinds are Spinnerbaits.

smalljaw Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 When I head to the trout stream and I ask what the fish are hitting on the anglers will say spinners, I never heard anyone call an in-line spinner a spinnerbait until I looked at the wikipedia link. When I go bass fishing and hit the lake and I ask what the fish are hitting the anglers tell me spinnerbaits and so I know they are talking about safety pin type spinners.

ING Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Yes! What I am talking about. At now it is common practice to call safety pin spinners: "Spinnerbait", but when somebody asking: "Why second blade on my SPINNER doesn't rotate?" I am confused.

mark poulson Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Some inline spinners have two blades, and sometimes the second blade doesn't spin. Don't ask me why, I've never made them, so I'm clueless. I've never had a tandem blade spinnerbait whose second blade didn't spin, unless the swivel was fouled.
