I like to think there is a time and place for everything. In-line spinners are great some of the time, but I get hung up more often than when using "safety pin" type baits. I like to completly fish an area , I start on the outsides of a brush pile, work it from every angle, if I don't get bit, I throw right in the middle of the pile. After a while you get in tune with the bait and start cranking as it hits the water, this will prevent a lot of hang ups. Other times you trow it into a pile of brush and yo-yo the bait trying to get em to hit. I often fish a spinner bait just like fishing a Texas rigged worm..............you can't do that with most in-lines.
