whats your favorite spinner baits to fish with?

Northland reed runner

The one I rip apart and put together in custom and then field test and tinker with and retest.. thats my fav

Lonnie Stanley; I have used them for years and they've always caught fish. Honestly, the more fish I've caught on them and the more beat up they've gotten the better they are.

Hoppy's made in Old Hickory Tn Check them out at Hoppyslures.com they use to make a floating spinnerbait but they stop making those 5 or 6 years ago sure wish they would bring them back does anyone on here happen to have any of them?

I use the Mann's Classic 1/4oz Colorado gold blades, with a blue glimmer skirt.

(White color with a blue tint) slightly stained to stained water.

The Mann's Classic 1/4oz Colorado gold blades, with a chartreuse skirt.

Over cast dark days with light rain, stained to muddy water.

Feel free to add some YUM SHAD Scent.

My trailer are mister twister 4" split double tail grub. Add a trailer hook the spinner bait comes with. Install the grub on the centerline so the spinner bait will run perfectly vertical.

Cast it out a reel it just fast enough to make the Colorado blades snip

I never burn it I make it look like an easy meal.

I set up the 1/8 & 3/16oz spinnerbaits the same way. But I trim the grub body so it fits the hook. If the spinner bait doesn't come with the skirt colors I want I change them to blue glimmer (white) & hot chartreuse (chartreuse).

For shore fishing in 10' of water if that I prefer the 1/8, 3/16 & 1/4 oz. Spinnerbaits.

Glenn here taught me how to use spinnerbaits. The main thing is not to give up trying them.

Wear your polarized sunglasses and watch behind your spinner bait or any topwater lure you can see for short strikes. When I see short strikes I go slower at first. If no hook ups I may speed up.

It's not luck in fishing it's skill. Bigbill

They don't make them anymore.

 

Hank Parker's old spinnerbaits were great.

 

Now go with War Eagle or others, depending on the size and color.

 

 

Accent makes a good one.

1/4 oz from G&G Bait Company.

I don't always throw a spinner bait, but when I do it's often a Strike King product.

 

The Burner, the Bottom Dweller and the Hack Attack Heavy Cover have all been decent producers for me.

Leverage - I still have several - absolutely the best 1/2oz shallow water spinner bait I've ever used.

Terminator used to be. Their spinnerbaits are not nearly as good anymore, especially the double willows, the front blade often won't even spin. Now, it's Pepper custom baits and Nichols. Need to try some war eagles, revenge, and northstar.

War Eagle , and Ernest Langly ( E&l JIGS) also makes a nice one.

BOOYAH QUAD SHAD .... enough said

I only use 'Terminator Super Stainless' spinnerbaits. The main reason I only use those is because I tried them many years ago, liked them, and for some reason bought more of them then I would need for half of a fishing career. I assume the Terminator SS baits they sell now have been redesigned. I wouldn't know. I skip the spinnerbait section at the tackle shop. One of these days, maybe 10 years from now, I'll try something else.

War Eagle finesse, 5/16. Also been hitting smallies with the Santone got 5

I have three favorites, Nichols mag 44, revenge, and strike king burner. Chris.
