A Colorado blade is a great option for fall. The large, round blade will displace a lot of water, making a commotion that most fish cannot resist. The spinner bait can be retrieved with a steady retrieve or with short pauses, causing the skirt to flare out. It can also be ripped through weeds. Both of these more erratic actions can bring strikes when a steady retrieve fails to trigger fish. (Photo by Beckie Gaskill/Lakeland Times)

No bad time for a spinner bait
Spinner baits are versatile baits. They allow an angler to fish anywhere in the water column. They are also a great search bait, allowing an angler to cover a lot of water quickly. As with many other baits, spinner baits come in a variety of styles and sizes. Their main purpose is to imitate a bait fish, or a small school of bait fish.
