I have spinnerbaits that produce from a wide range of brands that I could recommend, but I can keep this pretty simple and say stick with War Eagle. They work well, hold up well and run around $7 and make most color and blade combinations you'd ever need. Other brands like Strike King, Booyah, River2Sea, Nichols and Revenge are also very good.

 

Now to match the spinnerbait to your fishing conditions:

  -If you always fish brown muddy water, get a 1/2oz model in chartreuse or white/chartreuse with a single colorado blade.

  -If you always fish stained water, try a white/chartreuse with dual willow blades, one silver and one gold, 3/8oz or 1/2oz will do.

  -If you always fish clear water, try an all-white 3/8 model with dual silver willow blades.

  -If you want one that needs to work in a variety of conditions, get a sexy shad or blue herring color in 3/8oz with a gold and nickel blade. War Eagle makes a good one, and there is also a Strike King KVD model that you can get at most Walmarts that fit the bill well also.

 

If you get a spinnerbait where the first blade starts past the end of the hook like a Revenge, be sure to use a trailer hook. I rarely use a trailer hook the rest of the time, and if I'm getting short strikes, I will usually throw on a keitech trailer but a trailer hook works too it  just picks up a few more weeds.

War Eagle would be my choice. If you want to go super bang for your buck, H&H Lures or the Walmart $1 ones.

I use a little of everything.  BPS, SK, Booyah, and War Eagle.  Check your local mom and pop bait stores.  They may make their own spinnerbaits, or be supplied by someone that makes their own.

Strike king makes a spinner bait and buzzbait exclusively for dicks

Well, really anyone can use them

My personal favorite spinnerbait for pond fishing has to be the War Eagle Mike McClelland Finesse. It hasn't caught me the biggest but it's got me the most fish. Both the Mouse and Shiny Shad color in 5/16 are a go-to for me in small shallow waters.

War Eagle Spinnerbaits and nothing else. I’ve tried several brands... Booyah, Terminator, Walmart generic 97 cent ones.  War Eagle is the best made and runs the best. The Walmart get my 2nd vote cheap and effective.
