We all know red crankbaits are very popular this time of year so I was curious if anyone throws red spinnerbaits with success in the spring?  I picked up a red Terminator spinnerbait today to try out.  I guess I'm looking for a little confidence booster.    

I was thinking the same thing as you and I tried them in the Spring a little last year with so so results, but I love red spinnerbaits at night in the Summer or in very low light at dawn/dusk.

are you talking about the hook being red or the actualy skirt being red? because ive never seen a red skirted spinnerbait.

Terminator makes them. Check out color 519, red with orange fleck.

Check out Strike King's site. They have it in the Premire Plus series.   

I have a few red ones but have never really thrown them much.

I don't throw red spinnerbaits but I heard there were a couple of tournaments on Toledo Bend in the past that were won on them.

Good alternative color in the spring when the crawfish bite is on..Lots of fisherman use these in this part of texas. I have a few in my box but white is my confidence color. but Im going to be throwing these this week, along with my red traps.

Here is the spinnerbait I bought today...

I'll give it a try when prefishing for tournaments to see if it's something worth using come tournament day...

Kou I was just about to post that video haha.

That's the confidence boost I was looking for!  Thanks!

That was a nice fish, once he got her out of the weeds ;D Maybe I should dig that old red spinnerbait out of the retirement box :-/

Here is my favorite..http://www.rockyledge.com/tournament-spinnerbait.html Check out Tournament Series and scroll down to Rayburn Red...It is killer for me.

I've always done quite well with red spinnerbaits.  All mine have gold blades on them & usually work better in stained to murky water.

i had good sucess with them at lake fork but thats about it

Funny you should say that seeing that Fork is my home lake.   ;D

I've done well with it on other lakes as well though.

I'm a huge fan of red spinnerbaits.  Red skirt/gold bladed spinnerbaits have really caught em for me on certain days.  I don't know what turns them on to it, but I always throw it around during practice to see if I can get bit on it. 

My favorite way to fish red spinnerbaits is in the Summertime, burning them over grass clumps and other shallow cover.
