Quick take
Five assorted Smile Blade spinners in sizes 0.8 to 2.8 inches that work at speeds as slow as quarter-mile per hour.
This pack holds five 1.1-inch Smile Blades in a copper scale finish, a smaller size for rigs that call for a compact blade. The blade angle adjusts for a slow, rolling wobble or a tighter, faster spin. The blades keep turning at very slow speeds, so they fit trolling, drifting or casting.
Best for
- Trout in streams and small rivers
- Panfish and smaller bass in lakes
- Trolling and drifting where slow speeds matter
Skip if
- You only cast and want fast retrieves
- You fish heavy cover
Strengths
- Life-like action even at very slow retrieve speeds
- Blade angle is adjustable for rolling wobble or vigorous shake
- Five sizes in one pack cover most freshwater species
Trade-offs
- Spinners twist line; a small swivel helps prevent it
- Not ideal for weedy areas; single blade catches vegetation
- Slow speed design limits use in fast-moving rivers

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
