Do I need bait for this lure or will the lure itself attract the fish to bite?

By itself. The spinning of the spoon is what attracts the fish.

The lure will work by itself, usually with inline spinners a swivel is used between the lure and line to stop line twist

Just lure. Fish are nuts and strike whatever sometimes. Sometimes you can get a bite with literally an empty hook and nothing else, but for this thing you have here, no additional bait needed. Good luck!

Usually you put bait on a hook when you are only using the bait itself to try and catch fish.

No bait. That’s an inline spinner. Just drag her through the water and play around with it, see how it spins. Then cast it, you can figure how fast you wanna retrieve it, by playing around like I said earlier. You can vary your speed here and there too. You can “stop and start it” to imitate a struggling prey fish. You can let it sink and let out some line before you retrieve if you’re in some deeper water. Great all around lure as long as you don’t have snags

I use wax worms, butter worms, and red worms as a trailer on my inline spinners sometimes. It gives the lure a natural scent and it attracts more bites.

I caught my PB largemouth bass (8.25#) years ago on a large Mepps spinner w/nightcrawler draped on the treble. I’ve had good luck w/a live minnow on a regular spinnerbait too.
