This is a tremendous little tip for use with spinners-that is easy-and I really believe increases strikes. Whether in-line or blade-above-body types, most folks retrieve their spinners straight in. These are straight retrieve baits right?

Some folks will jig spinnerbaits, but in general, a speed is picked and the bait is brought in. Regardless of skirt material, I always "puff" a spinner on the way in. Basically, I go twice as fast on part of my revolution with the reel handle-on the front side as compared to the back. This way, the retrieve is always mildly erratic. The skirting material is always moving, and appears to be breathing. Try it.
