Oh man spinnerbaits are my jams. I throw all kinds of stuff..war eagles, sieberts, booyahs, strike king, some I've assembled myself. My favorites the past few years are the Nichols pulsator metal flake double willows. I also caught several really nice fish last fall on a homemade bait @scaleface sent me.

Same ones I fish the rest of the warm weather months, War Eagle. Color and blade combinations depends on water clarity and conditions. 

I’ll echo bluebasser. My spinnerbaits stay the same year round, War Eagle Screaming Eagle.  You can fish them slow and they are great for burning.

Also the same year round. Color, pattern, and blades depend on where I'm fishing.

Ditto

 

I’ve used different ones over the years but keep coming back to them.

I  like all the major brands and my own . Anything with a willowleaf main blade and a half ounce head .

I throw War Eagle 90% of the time .Color varies with the water color but the Sceamin' Eagle in Mouse is probably my fav.

The TBC Ozark flash is a great dirty water spinnerbait and reminds me of the old War Eagles.

Terminators.  The original titanium version has been discontinued for a while now but I still have some and I use them regularly.  The durability compared to a steel frame one is significant, especially when you have hungry aggressive pike around.  The ones with the turtle back blades really give off a lot of thump.  I've even got a few left in the original packaging too.

Love the titanium versions...I still have a few Bass Pro knock-off titanium spinner baits.  They are bad-ass...

 

 

I love the War Eagle baits. There are so many options and styles to suit every situation. In the fall I use the Screaming Eagle. It's a 1/2 oz. bait on a 1/4 oz. ounce frame. This allows me to adjust to the changing conditions as the bait moves about, as it is so likely to do in the fall. I can cast it a mile, burn it near the surface, slow roll on a drop off, and it's tough as nails. 

 

War Eagle offers it in several models, including a painted blade option that works great in low light, cloudy or muddy situations.

Question for those of you that use the ones with the long tails like the war eagles...

 

Do you trim the skirt, or leave the longer tails? Do you use a trailer?

Holy crap Ajay, that's a monster!
