What have you found most productive this summer, bucktails or spinnerbaits?

A couple weeks ago on LOTW spinnerbaits burned over the weeds worked way better than double 10s. I did catch one on a Shumway Flasher and one on a Thunderhead, but the rest were all on spinnerbaits. The water was 63-68 degrees then though, so I'm sure now the ratio would be different. A couple of guys triggered fish when they were reeling their spinnerbaits in so fast that the lures were lying sideways skimming on the surface. Hard on your wrists, but effective at the time.

Lens Creep-When were you up on LOTW and where? I ask because I was up there July 17-24, and we didn't see anything on spinnerbaits-we usually fish spinnerbaits quite a bit. My dad still threw spinnerbaits and smaller bucktails quite a bit, but pobably 80% of the fish seen in my boat were on double 10s.
