I've been meaning to use a spinnerbait for years. You would think it would have to work.

I'm sure a bluefish would tear either spinner or buzzbaits apart. It would be super cool to see a 25lb. stripe blow up on a buzz!

I've used dozens of freshwater lures with varying degrees of success for stripes, fluke, bluefish, weakfish, and bonito.

Propeller baits work great, but cast poorly. The Arbogast dasher came in several saltwater versions. I think the Surf Oreno was a prop bait. I've used the Heddon zara-spook sized prop baits along the Elizabeths with plenty of success. Too light for most of what I fish, however.

Bob Pond marketed a LMB style crankbait weighing about an oz. Never tried it much. Probably it would work.

Years ago I tried a large Musky Mepps spinner. Caught a few fish, but the drag from the big spinner during the retrieve was annoying (much like reeling in an umbrella rig). It really didn't feel like plugging (no chance to add action or work the lure) and I dropped it.

Sorry the picture sucks

On the flip side, eels work good on largemouth bass.....figured Numbskull would find it of interest...

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Figures. All I could ever catch in freshwater were pickerel and starving perch. Used to liveline the latter for the former before I developed a conscience, some self-respect, and a over-blown ego.

FYI, White marlin eat eels too.
I even saw Sauerkraut try one for Giant Tuna once..........talk about the mother of all eel knots
