<h2>Buying Guide: Jig Spinners</h2><p>The jig spinner has firmly established itself as a classic <strong>metal lure</strong>. Even so, many anglers - especially those newer to lure fishing - have never used one, perhaps because of its modest size or because the difference from a conventional spinner is not immediately obvious. Despite that, jig spinners offer real advantages and on certain days will outfish every other lure type going.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Fouoddu-rQw" width="560" height="315" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><h3>Construction</h3><p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0548/9197/0669/files/SpinMad-WIR-10g-0807.jpg" alt="SpinMad" width="220" height="220">The build of a jig spinner is straightforward, which is exactly why these lures last so well. <strong>Casting weight</strong> comes from a lead body that also acts as a visual trigger: the lead forms are shaped to resemble small baitfish, and the wide range of colour patterns lets you match conditions at any spot with ease.</p><p>At the bottom of the lead body sits a double or <strong>treble hook</strong> on a solid <strong>split ring</strong>, while at the rear a <strong>swivel</strong> carries the spinner blade. Together with the visual appeal of the body, that blade produces strong, high-frequency pressure waves at a steady rhythm, stimulating the lateral line of any predator in the area.</p><h3>Retrieve Styles and Where to Use Them</h3><p>You can fish a jig spinner almost anywhere. Because it is considerably heavier than a traditional spinner, heavier models can be cast a long way and worked at depth whenever needed. Lighter versions come into their own in shallow water in spring, while heavier ones are ideal for fishing drop-offs in summer and autumn. Jig spinners also make superb <strong>vertical jigging</strong> lures, so you can work deep holes with them in winter and even use them for ice fishing.</p><p>Beyond a straightforward steady retrieve - just as you would with a conventional spinner - you can also jig them along the bottom or through mid-water. That versatility makes them excellent search lures. Simply let the lure sink after the cast, then lift it with the rod tip. As you lower the rod back, retrieve the slack with the reel while the spinner drops back towards the bottom. Because of the way it is built, the lure falls <strong>lead body first</strong>, with the blade braking the fall, rotating even on the drop and sending out pressure waves as it goes.</p>

Frequently asked questions

Jig spinners are compact lures built around a lead or tungsten body with a spinner blade and swivel attached at the rear. They send strong vibrations through the water.
Thanks to their heavy, compact body, jig spinners can be cast considerably further than a standard spinner. That relatively high weight also lets you fish deep water effectively. On top of that, jig spinners do not twist your line.
After casting, let the jig spinner sink to the depth you want, then either retrieve it steadily or jig it through open water and along the bottom.
A ball-bearing swivel between the blade and the body, sharp quality hooks, a durable finish, and above all a spinner blade that starts rotating at the slightest pull - those are the marks of a good jig spinner.
This all-round lure will catch almost anything - asp, zander, chub, perch, pike and trout to name a few. If you have not yet tried one along the coast for mackerel or pollack, it is well worth doing.
