Weedless Spinner Baits

[Mike Keown]

A lot of my fishing is done in very heavy
weeds. A spinner bait brings the fish out
but only after dozens of casts and cleaning
weeds from the hooks. They just aren't
hitting worm rigs like they did in the summer
but the spinners do get them interested.
Any tips or rig ups appreciated.

Are you burning it? If its topwater or near topwater type action there is a
weedless spoon with a paddle wheel I have seen used for fishing over heavy
weeds.

It makes noise like a buzz bait, ut it looks like a spoon. It doesn't
wobble like a spoon. It just glides over the surface and a paddle wheel in
the middle spins smacking the water.

Most spinnerbaits clear hard obstructions such as logs, brush or rocks if
you keep them moving. Some spinnerbaits come through weeds better than
others, and some have swivels or whatever that slime-up less from muck than
others, but no spinnerbait is really weedless.

Sounds like you're describing a Norman Weed Walker--I own a couple of them.
