Depending on what part of the country you are in, late fall is the time to throw big spinnerbaits for LMB. I discovered this a few years ago in NY but I’ve seen it play down South as well. It’s still early for it here in TX, but farther North it’s about time. In NY I found that no spinnerbait was too big. I would use 1oz spinnerbaits with 4.5 paddletails on the back for added bulk. If you catch a nice fish on a big spinnerbait this fall, be sure to share. It is a pretty cool bite

I might give a big spinnerbait a toss tomorrow if the wind gets right.  😎😎😎

I caught this bucket mouth on a spinnerbait Oct 5. It wasn’t a 1 ounce version though. It was a 1/2 ounce terminator. My biggest bass of 2024. I own some super sized muskie versions. Never considered using them for bass here though.

 

 

I was throwing a .5oz. single Indiana bladed spinnerbait when I went out last week with a new friend. They were hammering it until the rain started and we got off the water.  A short arm, single Colorado or Indiana blade is one of my go to choices for fall fishing up here.

Cool Windy Rough. Love throwing spinnerbaits

I really want to try that megalo dooon spinnerbait by Jackall. It comes in 1 and a half ounces and 2 ounces iirc.

@LrgmouthShad here's one for ya. Not the biggest fish at 3-11 and it wasn't a true 'big' spinnerbait -1/2oz.  But with a single sz. 7 colorado it goes as a big thumper in my book.
