Until the mid 1990's I primarily fished with spinning and casting tackle for bass. For years I would rarely use a spinner bait. I had read articles and in my head knew they worked. One day I was fishing a pond along side the Natchez Trace and tied on a spinner and left my tackle box in the car. I caught fish on the spinner and have used them ever since. Sometimes you have to let your head over rule your heart with lures and tackle. I plan to take the same approach this year with sink tip lines and streamers and see if I can find some larger fish.
