Ozark Trail Spinnerbaits

Featured Replies

So, I was in Walmart the other day and I found this guy for something like $2.50, close as I can figure it might just be a strike king or whoever else's spinnerbait with a different brand and reduced price, anybody tried these yet?

I have noticed them too . It has a good swivel unlike other inexpensive baits .

I found one in a tree and tied it on because I had brought no spinnerbaits with me. It worked well other than not getting bit.

Take a razor blade, and cut that plastic spacer down, that baby colorado is lonely...

If that swivel works good, it will catch. And if the hook is sharp.

yes i have, the skirts do not last the worlds longest but i mean i get a really good amount of fishing out of them i would def recommend getting these.

I don't know too many spinnerbaits that aren't a matter of catches away from needing a new skirt, just part of fishing them in my mind, great to hear!

Yep. I've bought inline spinners from Walmart / Ozark and they do not work well at low speeds.

 

I bought a 5-Pack of spinners there once. Replace the rubberband with wire, it won't last.

What rubberband? They use a tied 50 strand skirt.

Pretty sure he's talking about the band used to hold the skirt on the spinnerbait 

There is no rubberband on the skirt. The skirt is held on with a string like a hand tied skirt. Probably a machine tied skirt. They hold up pretty good.

I freely confess I had taken it for granted that it was a rubberband...the price and the manufacturer both led me to assume something, this is pretty crazy, a $2.50 spinnerbait that's actually tied...wow

Mine had rubberbands.

 

It was a 5-pack of spinners, full size. Maybe they are different than others here are talking about. Was maybe $8 for five of them. I don't think they were Ozark brand though now that I think about it. Bought them at Walmart super cheap though.

 

Looked like the bands they use for braces/teeth. Most broke before ever using them. They sat for awhile though. maybe a year or more.

 

If they come with rubberbands (any bait) swap 'em out.

 

It's not the same as the bait in the OP photo, I've never seen those.

I used one and first cast the end unfolded and all the blades and beads fell off leaving me with a spinnerbait with only a jighead and a wire.
