Soft swimbait inline spinner rig?

Jig it, spin it, buzz it, if it's got a wire or a lead head, it can and will be discussed in here.

Terminator Inline is good for bigger 4-5" swimbaits. I'll give up my secret recipe for smaller presentations....take a blue fox vibrax and cut off the trebel. Then install split ring and hook of choice. I run the smaller size 2 with a 3" swimbaits trailer.

Good luck

Yeap. Re-rig Mepps spinners. City off those cheap trebles and put on a nice quality hook.

They are not so chip. It is reliable VMC treble. About month ago I've landed 24lb striper on Mepps with same "chip" treble.
By the way, majority of seasoned salmon killers using Mepps Flying "C" out of the package without any replacement.

Douge Stange has been fishing swimbaits behind inline spinners for years. It's a very simple rig. Take your preferred inline spinner, remove the treble hook and thread on a keel weighted swimbait hook (the weight keeps the bait from spinning). I fished this rig a bit and its very weedless way to add a bit thump and flash to your swimbait presentation.
