I'm partial to war eagle and strike king.

Stanley. IMO they are the best. But I really want to try the Megastrike spinnerbait.

A buddy of mine recently got me interested in Revenge and I must say I really like them.  I like Bleeding Hart, SK, and Booyah as well.

There are 3 brands that I use most of the time, they are Strike King Premire Plus, Picasso and Rattlehead (one of our sponsors here).

I've been using the Rattleheads a lot more lately. I really like the way they come through the grass! I was ripping them through some really thick hydrilla and rarely had to clean the bait off even when using the colorado bladed bait! They're even on sale right now! Check them out!  http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1259716887

I really like the Booyah counter strike and tandems in gold shiner with black Yum boogie tails as trailers. Slayed them on Champlain this year using them. I like using the smaller size. When fished just over the tops of the grass, they are dynamite!

i like booyah and strike king for largies.....  terminater t2 for smallies

I like Booyah and T-2's...

I like strike king but that does not mean I won't buy another brand to try. I really don't think their is a "best" brand out there b/c everyone has their own opinion. Once you get confidence with a lure, it tends to become your "best" lure weather it is a spinner bait or a crank bait. Don't become 1 demensional. I think it is great to have a go to bait but I would not get hung up on what other people think is the best. There are tons of good products out there and I am sure you will find confidence in your choice selection of spinner baits.

If you live in the Northern states one problem that you are going to find with most of the brand name spiinerbaits is that they are designed for guys fishing down south. That doesn't mean that some of these baits won't catch fish up here as they are out of the package especially on those occasions when fish are very aggresive and will hit just about anything or the occasional stained/ muddy lake that you might find up here. That said I have found the problem with most of them is the blades are usually too big to consistenly put fish in the boat in the clearwater lakes that are typical up here.

I have in the past modified most of my spiinerbaits by using brands like Nichols/ Stanley & Strikeking by downsizing the blades and making the wire frames more compact. Then about 3 years ago I tried S.O.B. Mini Me spinnerbaits who was one of the first to put more of the weight on the hook and with a unique wire bend to make a very compact spinnerbait, think of the look of some manufacturers 3/16 oz spinnerbait with a 3/8 or 1/2 weight. The one thing that I've always liked is that the owner Dee will build them exactly the way I want even putting a little glitter on the blades to cut down on the flash. The PJ special skirt combo that he has will consistenly catch fish anywhere around me when conditions are favorable for a spinnerbait bite and to date has been the most productive spinnerbait I have used.

This year I tried out 3 Rattlehead spinnerbaits with a single colorado blade for night fishing and I have to say I was very pleased and will be looking to add a few more of these as well to complement my S.O.B. spinnerbaits. I also have future plans on trying some of ***s baits because I am intriqued by some of the blade/skirt/ head combo's that I've seen on his website are very unique and outside the box thinking.

I like the booya 3/8 and 1/2 ounce models.

Ledford's tackle makes a really cool jointed spinnerbait

that i have really gotten to like.

detroit1 spinnerbaits are all i use. (i assemble my own) I've learned over the years what tool i need for the situation, and make them accordingly. They may not have a pretty paint job, but they work. Cheaper? sometimes, but it is also fun.

who makes the best spinner baits because i have tried many but can't decide what to use maybe you could help me

I only use Terminator T-1's.

I always used Terminator T-1's, then this Spring I got a few with bad hooks. My favorite now is Rattle Head. I also have some Strike King Premier Plus that I like.

Fleck.

ive always had luck with the terminator spinnerbaits, but im going to be trying the war eagles out soon

Believe it or not the Strike King Rocket Shad has been my most effective spinnerbait.

A buddy of mine recently got me interested in Revenge and I must say I really like them. I like Bleeding Hart, SK, and Booyah as well.

Same. I love my Revenge SpinnerBaits!

leverage  and more leverages, never use a trailer hook - shortarm the old bass buster scorpion which I'm running out of

Strike King Premier and Strike King KVD. I also like Lazer Eye Premier, very nice for under $4.
