I'm a big fan of spinner baits. You can fish them fast/slow and at least in my experience, they will attract multiple fish species.

They also can be very expensive. About the cheapest, I've found is the BASS PRO brand. They run around $5 give or take based on weight/blades. I call them SEASONAL tackle because they don't hold up much more than that in hard use.

I came across these on Amazon. Less than $2 a piece. They are made in China probably BUT many name-brand lures are too except for some of the UBER expensive ones that can run $10 or more for one lure.

I looked them over and decided for the features they offer, even if the steel doesn't hold up to rusting, they were worth it even if the only lasted one season?

These are some of the nicest spinners I've ever used, as good or better than ones costing 4-5x more. Set #1 has Double Blades, set # 2 Single Blades, set option #3 is a JIG head spinner. I think I'll get a Jig Head set before my next Q trip.

They sell in packs of 6 or 12 so make sure you understand the pic they show is for the 12 piece set.

The steel seems to be of good quality so I hope they do hold up to rust? I will buy again even if they last only one season?

I'll bet the NP will like them a lot. They do where I fish. I don't target them but that flash and noise, if you rip them on the surface, seems to really get the local NP in a frenzy.

One nice thing about a single hook spinner is the design makes the wire act like a steel leader even when a toothy critter grabs it.

  When I first started using spinner baits I would get the kind with the open loop. As you mentioned they tangle ALL the time, even if you tie your line directly to the wire like some say you should. It's especially
bad with braid vs mono.

  It was so bad I came up with a DIY fix for the open loop spinners I still have.  I got some clear plastic tubing like on a ice maker and cut a piece about 1/4 long and slid that on the wire open loop and then clip on my Duo-Lock snap/swivel. Not as good as a looped spinner but pretty close. Now I buy only the closed loop spinners.
