Actually, Topwater, i'm not much of a spinnerbait fisherman. They are, however, very productive baits - especially for bigger fish.
To use a baseball analogy, some pitchers use a fastball as "their" pitch, others a slider, others a curve ball. Greg Maddux CAN throw a fastball (though not very fast), but he uses his other pitches so well and that is the key to his success.
A fishing lure is only as good as the fisherman using it. I've said it before and i'll say it again... the lure you use is not on the end of your line waiting to catch fish, it is an extension of YOU. You give it a brain and movement. The more you train yourself in using it, the more successful you will be. And like a baseball pitcher, the more pitches you have and how you use them, the more successful you will be at catching fish.
Keep working those spinners. Read about them, learn them, work them, fail with them... then you will SUCCEED with them.
