Finesse Spinnerbait Advice

[larryc]

I’m attempting to learn to use spinnerbaits, particularly finesse spinnerbaits. I’m catching fish but I’m also missing and losing fish. Sometimes I can feel the tug and set the hook then a few seconds later the fish is gone. I had some fish jump and sling the hook. Also, I catch less fish with a trailer.

Does anyone have any advice? What might I be doing wrong?

Are you using a trailer hook?  if not, use a small . loose swinging trailer hook like a Gamakatsu.

I will pruchase some small trailer hooks and try it. Thanks

For Toona and spot fishing you really need a burner, they will get to good of a look at the bait and just swat at it.

Thanks for the information. Again this is a new tactic for me and all advice is welcomed.
