[black][size 3]TD is making a slight understatement when he says arsenal - he's a walking/floating tackle shop.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Here's my approach - depending on the body of water, species of fish and size of lure. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]I start out with a spinner rather than a spoon. Mostly because they are more snag resistant than spoons. They also make vibrations and can flutter to the bottom when I slow down the retrieve. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Then I go to jigs. I like jigs for all the different presentation options available and a lot of different fish seem to like them. The spinning jigs (roadrunners) have the added attaction of being shinny and suppling vibration to get the fish's attention. I can also add sweeteners to them.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Spoons have the advantage of being able to cast a longer distance with less wind resistance than spinners. They also sink faster to get down to depth.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Of course, none of the above is really ever etched in stone. I will often change according to my mood as well. And, I usually try to have a good variety of offerings for what ever potential fish I might possibly find in any given body of water.[/size][/black]
