Best Spoon and/or spinner baits for reds?

[carramar]

What are your favorite spoons or spinner baits for shallow water redfish? How do you work them? Thanks in advance for your advice!

I'm getting pretty fond of a Sworming Hornet flutter jig and soft bait. Capt. Mike's in pink get a call every now and then as well.

Strike King Redfish Magic spinnerbaits and expect reds to mangle them! Don't waste your money on titanium lures as reds can mangle those also!
I like to feel the blades turning and run up and down from the surface. Hang on!!!!!!!!!!

Capt. Mike's spoons in gold or pink with a swivel added and fish as slow as possible normally. If you're lucky enough to be in a school of feeding reds then alter your retrieve to FAST!

I have had really good success fishing the slayer lures inline spinner with the colorado blade. It is my favorite thing to throw for reds if I am not using topwater. They are really strong. I think I have caught over a dozen reds on the first one I purchased and it still looks as good as new.

I like a 1/4 - 3/8 ounce Gold spoon. I use both the weedless type and the kind with treble hooks. I prefer the treble hooks because they seem to increase my "hook up" ratio, but will switch to weedless if the conditions call for it (grass, rocks, oysters). Sometimes I tip it with a Gulp, I haven't had a lot of success with this, but some of my friends have (maybe I'm just not doing it right?).

Sometimes I just cast and retrieve like a crankbait, but sometimes stop and go like a jig. Either way seems to work fine if there are redfish around.

My favorite technique is to cast and retrieve really fast, so that the spoon actually creates a small wake on the surface. This really only works in Spring and Summer when the water's warm, but the hits you'll get rival that of a topwater.

Make sure to work any rocks or oyster bars, but don't count out the areas around the rocks and oysters, they don't always hold tight to the structure. In fact, I catch most of mine 100 yards or so from the nearest oyster bar.

Captain Mikes - pink, red or chartreuse.

While Capt. Mikes spoons are more popular, I like the old original Johnson silver minnow 1/2 or 1/4 ounce for castability.

Call me old fashioned but 1/2 ounce Johnson minnow gold spoons sure have been productive for me. When the reds are in the mood it seems like they'll hit 'em long as you're throwing em.

CM pink or hammered copper, usually never loose fish with the treble hooks but the weedless are easier on the oyster bars.
