    I am a believer in durability when it comes to spinnerbaits.   Cheap Walmart versions for 3 bucks will catch a few fish but they will inevitably wear out sooner because of inferior component

    What makes a spinnerbait worth $35? It's a combination of two things. First someone needs to put that price tag on one and second, someone needs to be willing to part with enough cash to purchase thre

I bought 4 of the Jackal Dooon spinner bait I bought them directly from Shimano. Price was $5.50 ea. They are 3/8 in weight and seem like a finesse type spinnerbait. Haven’t used them yet, but they seem a little on the weak side, I’m thinking more of a finesse spinnerbait. IMG_1462.jpeg.85871cd9f103288aa89e81556e7f7f3b.jpeg

    For the same price, why don't you just buy a Coike  17mm ?

    @Munkin,

    What are the dimensions of the huge willow blade?  And what weight is yours?

     

    JACKALL / MEGALO DOOON 2 oz | IchibanTackle.com

     

    Here is a sold-out listing for one. Not sure how big the blade is but it looks like a prison shank.

    @Munkin,

    Thanks.  I did more searching, and found that the 1.5 oz Megalo Dooon has a #12 blade and the 2.0 oz has a #15.  Not sure of the actual lengths in inches.  For comparison, I did see online that a #10 willow is 4.6 inches, so a #12 must be around 5 inches?  I don't see how a #12 or #15 is castable.

    Assume these baits are for deep rolling? Not sure how big these blades are but they are the biggest I have ever seen on a bass lure.
