==Safety Pin Spinnerbait==

The 'safety pin' style spinnerbait is probably the most popular spinnerbait design among recreational fishermen today, especially [[anglers]] fishing for [[Black Bass]]. Like the in-line spinner, the heart of its' design is a wire metal frame, but the frame bends roughly 90 degrees with the line being tied at the point of the bend. at one end, the frame ends in a lead jig with a single hook hidden by a 'skirt' usually made of strands of rubber or some other synthetic material. At the other end is the blade. Some safety-pin spinnerbaits have more than one blade, with a few having up to four, though one or two is generally a more common configuration. One of the benefits of this design is that the frame often keeps the hook from getting snagged on objects while being retrieved, though some believe this also leads to fish not being securely hooked and getting away, prompting some anglers to add a second 'stinger' hook to the main hook to increase the chances of a successful catch. This 'stinger' hook hooks fish that strike short of the skirt on the bait which would otherwise be lost.
