Some time ago I started using several different types of spinnerbaits that were really freshwater bass models. The design was simply altered with a plastic shrimp or coho tail instead of the standard ribbon like material. I have successfully caught redfish and an occassional trout on these lures. They are easy to cast, but depending on rod weight a little difficult to retrieve....lots of drag. To work a spinnerbait in the LLM, you almost always have to run it shallow. This requires you to have a high speed reel and usually keeping your rod high to avoid the grass. I've used them in the Brownsville ship channel over sand and shell and they will take snook and jacks. Jacks, althought sometimes a pest will readily hit a spinnerbait.
Recently I was sent a brochure on a company out of Brownsboro, Texas. It was for a very unique spinnerbait called Brass-N-Blades. It is a rather large bait, with a solid made brass blade and a unique double hook that should run weedless to a degree.
The double hook should also ensure more hookups. It comes in lots of colors, but I think the gold with white or red will be a sure fire thing in the LLM. I am ready to to hit the water and try these lures. Check them out on line at http://www.brassnblades.com/ or stop by their booth at the Houston Fishing Show next weekend.
Take care.
