So, I have the KVD Spinnerbait right now with the whole trailer hook and painted eyes. But I'm wondering, is the megabass sv-3 really worth it? Is it that good of a spinnerbait to REALLY change the bite. Because I know the components are good but is it that game changing like facing an original chatterbait to a jackhammer. 

Hello Dive,

     With a spinner bait. It is the action you impart to it that is most important IMHO. I have fished a spinner bait a lot! The best thing I can tell you is to make sure the spinner bait has quality components.  KVD/Strike King, Booyah, War Eagle and others make really good spinner baits.

    I pretty much use just three colors, Chartruese, White or Chartruese and white.  3/8 or 1/2 oz in weight. I never use a trailer or trailer hook.  I have a found that trying to run my spinner bait into everything out there is what gets strikes.  Run it into wood, docks, bump it into stickups. Slow it down, speed it up, burn it just under the surface so it wakes the top. Make it burble (bubble gurgle) the top. Make it twerk like hula dancer on crack.

     I try to hit every ambush pocket I can, Holes in weeds, dark corners of docks, shadowy side of stumps. Bass love to ambush and a spinner bait with the blades whirling sending out those thumping vibrations, swimming by in front of it's hidey hole really does tick him or her off and they just have to kill it.

Good luck in your spinner baiting adventures!

I was prepared to say heck no before I even looked them up.  But after looking at them, I say give it a shot.  Sure, they're more than SK or War Eagle, but in line with a lot of others right now.

  I really like War Eagle, but they are practically disposable.   If the MB catches as well, but holds up a lot better, it might actually be a value buy

 

 

Jeez never would have guessed I would say that about a $13 spinnerbait...lol

Totally different bait. The SV3 is compact and blades are thin and spin fast. The wire also vibrates more in my opinion. The KVD has a bulkier profile and more flash. Good baits to alternate until you find what works. 
 

It’s similar to comparing a flat sided squarebill to a normal body. 

It's one of those things where sometimes the fish prefer one, and sometimes the fish prefer the other one.  And sometimes the fish like both, and sometimes the fish don't like either.

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~

I am a spinnerbait user & abuser, especially the next several weeks.

The local brown bass population here seems very receptive

to a fast moving bait burned across a big flat.

The SK Buner and Megabass V9 Double Willow have both been good for this.

I always recommend the booyah covert series to people who don’t know spinnerbaits a lot because they are an easy spinnerbait to fish. If you are willing to dish out the cash on an SV-3, you can get a covert with that and still have some gas money left over. The SV-3 is a good spinnerbait but fished out of the package, the covert spinnerbaits tend to be much more versatile

One thing I will complement the SV-3 with is they are hard to hang up with and they last for many, many fish. The booyah covert does good too.

The sv3 is a good bait but it’s specific in what it does. The shallow blades and overall body design are meant for fishing it fast. A 1/2 oz sv3 can move quick!  No use if you’re in 2’ of shallow grass and the fish want slow.

metric crap ton of spinnerbaits

Highly technical Bait Monkey term.  Works for crankbaits too.

I’ll reiterate what others have said, my best luck with spinnerbaits has been fishing around laydowns banging them over literally every branch I can see under the water. 
 

I like the Booyahs and still have a couple of old Terminators with the titanium wire. Actually lost a terminator fishing earlier this spring. Now I’m down to only 2. ☹️

Nope. Not gonna say what i want to. Carry on.

Say itttt.

 

On topic, SV3 is a nice spinnerbait. I like the tails better here than on a Jamaica Boa. Smallmouth like it too.
