Jig Spinners, also known as Tailspinners, are compact metal lures with a ball-bearing spinner blade at the tail. They are among the fastest sinking artificial lures, combining two features rarely found together: maximum casting distance and rapid reach of deeper water layers. This makes them the ideal search lure over long distances and during aggressive predator periods. In the range, you will find Jig Spinners in different weight classes, with premium trebles and sometimes completely lead-free construction.

Structure of a Jig Spinner

The Jig Spinner consists of a few robust components:

  • Compact metal body: cast from lead, tin-bismuth, or steel. Usually shaped like a drop or fish, without a diving lip or skirts.
  • Ball-bearing spinner blade at the tail: the hallmark of the Jig Spinner. Premium models use a ball bearing as the connection between body and blade, allowing low-friction rotation even at the slowest speeds.
  • Trebles or single hooks: on the front belly or center. High-quality models use BKK Spear 21-SS or comparable premium hooks.
  • Attachment eyelet on top of the body: tie-in point for the main line or a snap.
  • Optional: Pro Tackle Eyes: visual attraction point on the front body, directing strikes toward the hook position.

Which Jig Spinner for Which Use

The choice of the right weight class depends on water depth, current, and target fish.

  • 7 g class: shallow areas up to 2 m, perch and light spinning, ULC setups.
  • 10 g class: medium depths, long casts from shore for perch and small zander.
  • 14 g class: all-rounder for zander on edges, midwater, and light current.
  • 18 g class: deeper spots, vertical fishing, larger zander and pike.
  • 21 g class and above: deep areas, strong current, targeted at pike.

Applications

Jig Spinners are extremely versatile and cover several application areas:

  • Search lure over long distances: longest casts of all lure classes, ideal for quickly covering large water surfaces.
  • Vertical fishing from a boat: fast sinking rate reaches deeper water layers in seconds.
  • Heavyweight cranking for zander: heavy classes from 14 g keep the lure down in the current pressure and on the bottom.
  • Stop-and-go over plateaus: the lure sinks quickly when stopped, and the blade flickers immediately when retrieved.
  • Power fishing for active predators: fast retrieval, the blade rotates constantly, attracting active pike and asp over long distances.

Lead-Free Jig Spinners

Classic Jig Spinners long had a lead body. Modern designs increasingly avoid lead and use tin-bismuth alloys. These create a larger silhouette at the same casting weight, making them more visible underwater and generating more pressure waves. Lead-free Jig Spinners are mandatory in the Netherlands and Scandinavia for fishing tournaments and in some waters. The advantage: identical casting distance and sinking rate as lead, but environmentally clean and allowed in more and more fishing areas.

Ball-Bearing Spinner Blade

Premium Jig Spinners use a ball bearing between the metal body and spinner blade. Advantages over a simple wire axle:

  • Low-friction rotation: the blade spins constantly even at the slowest retrieval speed.
  • Consistent pressure waves: no interruptions in the vibration pattern, so the predator continuously detects the lure.
  • Longer lifespan: saltwater, sand, and dirt hardly affect the rotation.

Hook Setup

High-quality Jig Spinners come factory-equipped with sharp trebles. Well-known hook brands in this class are BKK Spear 21-SS with Super Slide Coating for maximum penetration, Owner ST-36, and VMC. Treble size varies depending on lure size, from size 10 on 7 g models to size 4 on 21 g models.

Frequently Asked Questions about Jig Spinners

A jig spinner, also called a tailspinner, is a compact metal lure with a ball-bearing spinner blade on the tail. Its fast sinking rate and maximum casting distance make it the ideal search lure over long distances. A classic for aggressive pike, zander, and large perch.

Both refer to the same type of lure. "Jig Spinner" is the more international term, while "Tailspinner" is commonly used in German-speaking areas. The lures are identical: a compact metal body with a spinner blade at the tail.

In a spinnerbait, the spinner blade is attached to the upper arm of a V-shaped wire frame, and the lead head with skirts is on the lower arm; the lure is traditionally retrieved. In a jig spinner, everything is combined in a compact metal body, with the blade positioned directly on the tail. Spinnerbait is a cover lure, while jig spinner is a search lure used over open water.

It is unrivaled in three areas of application: First, as a search lure over long distances due to maximum casting range. Second, for vertical fishing from a boat because of its fast sinking rate. Third, for power fishing targeting active predators, where fast lure presentation with constant vibration is required.

Rule of thumb: 7 to 10 g for areas up to 2 m, 14 g for medium depths up to 4 m, 18 to 21 g for deeper spots from 4 m. The stronger the current, the heavier the casting weight. For vertical fishing from a boat in deep water, 18 g and heavier are used.

The ball bearing between the body and blade allows low-friction rotation even at the slowest retrieval speed. Advantage: consistent pressure waves without interruptions in the vibration pattern. Saltwater, sand, and dirt hardly affect the rotation, significantly extending the lifespan.

Three standard techniques: First, steady reeling at a medium to fast speed, the blade rotates constantly. Second, stop-and-go; when you stop, the lure sinks quickly, and when you reel in, the blade flickers immediately again. Third, vertical presentation from the boat; the lure is left at depth and moved with short jerks.

Yes, modern lead-free jig spinners deliver the same casting distance and sinking rate as lead designs. Manufacturers use tin-bismuth alloys that create a larger silhouette at the same casting weight, which is even more visible underwater and generates more pressure waves. Mandatory in the Netherlands and Scandinavia.

A 14 g class jig spinner is suitable for beginners. It casts far, sinks quickly, and reliably catches perch, zander, and smaller pike. Start by reeling in steadily, then vary with stop-and-go. Lead-free models have the advantage of being allowed in all waters.

Jig spinners work with both spinning and baitcasting setups. For 7 to 14 g classes, a spinning rod with a casting weight of 7 to 28 g and braided line of 0.18 to 0.25 mm is sufficient. For heavier classes from 18 g, a stronger rod with a casting weight of 14 to 40 g is recommended. When fishing for pike, a steel leader is mandatory.
