I have no preference really in blade color, I know certain ones are recommended for certain conditions, but I have not found any consistency to that sort of thing...yet.   But I do like metallic blades on sunny days, and painted blades on overcast days. 

 

Regarding skirts...

 

I like to play with a wide variety of skirt colors and patterns, but so far, any kind of white w/glitter, and any kind of smoke-based pattern have been good. 

Chart./white skirt, double #4 willow leaf blades in gold. 3/8 oz.

Anyone use hammered blades or like them better then a normal blade?

White or yellow on cloudy days. Black at sunset or darkness, and bluegill every other time...

 

Blades switch up a lot, but I try to use a spinner with both willow and colorado , and both brass and silver, except for my night time then I just want thumpers, and black.

War eagle mouse color and one gold and nickle blade.

Shadish (Like the one in my avatar) with double nickel willows.

My spinnerbait combinations that works is,

Slightly stained to clear water.

Blue Glimmer skirt, gold Indiana blades, 1/4oz.

Stained to muddy water.

Hot chartruese skirt, gold Indiana blades, 1/4oz.

Since our very own Glenn May here walked me through this setup and it's been working. I drowned many spinnerbaits till I figured it out. I need to try other spinnerbait setups next. I kind of stay with what works.

chart/white skirt silver willow blades

Wicked RS in shad color (it has an olympic blade) thats my favorite.

A single willow leaf blade , gold    and bluegill imitating skirt .

Chart/white with hammered gold blades. Or a combo of gold/nickel. Always hammered if I can find them.

War Eagle Mouse with Colorado/Indiana tandem blades, silver Colorado with a gold Indiana. 

Are spinnerbaits good for fishing in the morning, like the first bait to throw??

Yes, they can be good at any time of day. 

Anyone use hammered blades or like them better then a normal blade?

Hammered blades best in Indiana and Colorado blades to aid in more vibration. Also sometimes leads to a heavier cupping to those blades also adding to the vibration. In those two blade types I prefer them more especially in stained water. Clear water I would prefer smooth and metallic willow blades.
