How to Use the Monsoon Spinner for Maximum Hook-Ups

You've got the Monsoon Spinner in your tackle box—now it's time to make it work for you. Spinnerbaits are one of the most versatile and deadly tools in a fisherman's kit, but knowing how to fish them effectively is key to unlocking their full potential.

Understand the Behavior of Your Target Fish

Whether you're targeting Australian Bass, Murry Cod, Yellow belly or even Saratoga are reactive predators. They respond to movement, flash, vibration, and disturbance in the water. The Monsoon Spinner is engineered to create all of these triggers—especially in challenging conditions.

5 Techniques to Try with the Monsoon Spinner

1. Slow Rolling
   In colder water or early spring, a slow and steady retrieve near the bottom imitates sluggish baitfish. Let the blades work while you keep the bait in the strike zone longer.

2. Yo-Yo Retrieve
   Bounce the Monsoon off the bottom to mimic injured prey. Let it fall, then jerk it upward in a rhythmic fashion. The low center of gravity helps it track straight on the fall and retrieve.

3. Burn Retrieve
   On warmer days, fish are more active. Reel quickly to provoke reaction strikes. The Monsoon’s strong wire frame holds up to aggressive hits at high speed.

4. Stop-and-Go
   Pause your retrieve periodically. This erratic motion can trigger strikes from hesitant fish. The premium spinner blades will keep fluttering even during the pause, keeping the bait "alive."

5. Blade Angle Adjustments
   The Monsoon's adjustable spinner blades give you control over flash and vibration. Widen the angle for more resistance and vibration in stained water, or tighten it for a faster spin in clear conditions.

Gear Recommendations

• Rod: Medium-heavy power, fast-action rod for good hook-setting ability.

• Line: 15–20 lb fluorocarbon or braided line depending on cover.

• Reel: High-speed baitcaster for fast retrieval techniques.

Hook Up, Hold On

Thanks to the BKK high carbon steel assist hooks, your hookups are more secure. The sharp tips penetrate deeply, and the assist hook design ensures fish stay pinned even during acrobatic jumps or deep dives.
