you throw them any place you see a bass or any place you would cast with a swim bait.
If you like hard bodied swim baits "crank baits"
go with the minnow shaped ones like repallas, even jointed repallas work great.
threre is a combination hard soft swim bait that is outstanding in action, bass love them, but their greatest down fall is pike, they love them too so the Charlie Swim bait gets torn up by pike... "this is made by mega bait lures and are expencive..."
when casting spinner baits, you can do a count down for your depth, not one mississippi, but a regular 1-2-3-4 ect for every foot you want your spinner to drop,
Newtons law of gravity dose not apply in water, heavier lures drop faster than lighter ones.
some times with spinners you want them right on top of the water, especialy if you are fishing weeded and shallow areas. other times you will want them to drop close but not on the bottom shelves or drop offs.. some times you may want to be in mid water when fish are suspended...
the only to know if the fish are on top, mid range or bottom is to cast in those places and switch back and forth till you find them, then when you do keep casting in that range and you will get your best creel results..
