Catch More Redfish With Versatile Spinnerbaits

It’s been a while since my redfish-circuit days, but the lessons I learned during seven years on the pro tour continue to help me catch fish in all kinds of locations and ­conditions. Undoubtedly, the hours spent scouting and fishing every ­tournament afforded me ample ­opportunity to experiment with lures and techniques I ­probably wouldn’t have tried ­otherwise. The spinnerbait, a lure I’d previously only ­associated with ­freshwater bass fishing, quickly became one of my favorite options. Not only does it catch redfish in a number of ­situations, it allows for tinkering and tweaking, which appeals to my curious nature and improves my chances for success.
