Definitely think a spinner blade calling old school and all most of the older ones I have got the brass blade Plus the green ones just kill trout
I usually replace the dinky brass hammered blade, with one a smooth size 3 or 4 blade.
..fish don't have the ability to look down ....
This is actually true and a fact I have shared in a number of tutorials. Their vision is good but a diagram looks like a dome above their heads with nothing below. This is the reason you'll see trout 'tailing' when they are feeding in the shallows; since they don't have the ability to see down, they must tip their bodies to do so. It is also why a long leader when fishing Power Bait is often more effective.

Yep. Totally agree SC. Peeps who think that trout can look down, are simply mistaken. They naturally see up, and above, in a cone shaped pattern. Just as is shown, in this pic.
Okay, but how would a trout know deep to swim and don't trout eat off the bottom of a lake? Wouldn't they need to see what they are eating? Just asking not arguing.
Trout tip their bodies to see down, as in the instance mentioned above.
I've read, and own, many fishing books. Until now; I've never seen any expert say that fish can look down (at least, not without "tail finning" as described above). So, thanks for mention Dr. K's book Fish Face...I'll have add that one, to my collection and investigate. :thumb:
P.S. Found it online, will have to get a copy. Thanks again.
BTW...hope that we haven't hijacked your thread too much Seahawkfan. :blushing:
