Pinheads or Patriots? You Decide.

Pinheads or Patriots? You Decide.

I haven't been able to go fishing since Veteran's Day so I did the next best thing. I assembled some inline spinners, two of which have a feather pattern that I have dubbed the patriot.


From left to right:
#1 - Inline spinner with a pearl color bead that reflects back colors other than pink. Ready for field testing, and looking forward to do so with great anticipation. It will also get a chance to be tested in another part of the U.S.A.
#2 and #3 - "Black Beauty Patriots with flashabou. Would love to test these two just outside weed edges or drift in current. These will also get a chance to be tested elsewhere.
#4 Inline spinner with a green bead and an X-Rap tail.

So in the words of Bill O'Reilly, "What say you? Are they pinheads or patriots? Would you keep a couple in your emergency box or dismiss inline spinners as a lure you wouldn't consider using as a self-respecting bass angler?"

You decide and let us know.  Pithy comments welcome.

They look pretty good. I've never used an inline spinner to target bass myself, but then again maybe I should?

Patriots in my book!

Definately Patriots!  Definately.

Patriot  Try them around rocks/boulders. Been a long time since I used one. Used to catch bass like crazy when I was young and learning. Grew up in trout country. Had a lot of mepps in my tackle boxes for rivers. Have gravitated away from them with TMK. Time to take a look in the rearview mirror and see how I was successful catching bass in the early years.
