Your favorite spinnerbait?

Featured Replies

what is your favorite spinnerbait (brand, size, color, blades)?  I have been looking at a few but need some more ideas...  I will narrow it down a bit and say not muddy water or at nite time.

i always like the Blue Fox Roland Martin Big Bass (long name!) but they dont make em anymore...Recently tried the WarEagle brand and these things run so nice and straight right out of the package....Got 2 nice bass just today on it.....So, i guess they will take over as my current favorite, Very well made and nice lookin baits

Standard colors i use = White, Chart, and anything like a Green Pumpkin or Watermelon type color

Single or dual Willow blade

I like Booyah Spinnerbaits, willow leaf blade, in White/chartruese, or White, size would have to be 1/4oz and maybe a little smaller.. The only problem is there not too durable and will sometimes bend after a few good fish, but they definetly catch fish. I just bend em right back into shape again and there as good as new so no biggie.

I have tried all kinds and own from the most exotic Japanese to the Wal-Mart brand and I still have to say that Terminator is still my favorite.  They are hard to beat up and just plain catch fish.  :P

1/2 oz Stanley double willow chrome (front #4, rear #4 1/2 Hildebrandt) Skirt is a custom clear w/silver flake, clear w/gold flake combo that has a "pale" look in the water.

Yep in a 3/8 size double willow has been my biggest spinnerbait producer.

I just buy frames and blades from Stamina.   I can make whatever combination I want in about 2-3 minutes.  

That said - - my favorite all-around bait for the clearish water I fish is a 3/8 oz. with a single no.4 willow.   Something small that I can burn and drop well.  

Hey...

Try a Fleck Weed Wader from Herb Reed (Lunker City). I caught a 3.8 lb. LMB on a local pond last week with a yellow Fleck with bronze blades.

Good luck!!

As my screen name implies, I am a big fan of the Terminator Speedbead T-1's.

I still have the original spinnerbait I used when I started bass fishing, only had to change the skirt and replace a blade or two.

Still runs true and straight, bass after bass.

BTW, yes, the original will be seeing action at the Big G   :P

Terminator T-1  3/8 oz. white or firetiger, double willowleaf silver blades.

I was given a Strike King Premier Plus and it produced alot of fish also.

I wish i liked the Strike King and Booyah baits because they are so easy to find or replace but they never run straight.  i find myself always tuning them.  never tried the Terminator ones and want to give the River 2 Sea brand a try as well,  they look phenominal,  we'll see.

I really like War Eagles spinnerbaits.

I recently started making my own:

Ditto!!

I find Terminators to run the truest and to be the most durable.  I like whitish skirt and silver willowleaf blades most of the time.  For night fishing, you can't beat a Strike King black/blue or black/red with single Colorado blade (I like the smooth blade, no ripples).  It's actually made for night fishing and also has a rattle.  Otherwise, I don't like Strike King and Booyah spinnerbaits - I'm always tuning them.

I can't remember the last spnrb8 i bought. I "assemballed" my own for ten or so years now. Sampo swivels and about any blade/skirt combo for under $2. In the clear waters i fish, i mostly use a whitish skirt, a 1/4 oz. frame with a 1/8 rubbercore sinker squeezed on behind the skirt. Two gold willow blades and a keeper hook. Then a disc of bicycle innertube punched out with a paper-hole puncher.

My favorite brand of spinnerbaits is Terminator. I do not have one specific favorite, because I throw alot of different styles depending on the conditions. I usually use 1/4 oz.

my chartruese and white spinnerbait with double colorado blades

My top 3 brands are Picasso, XCiter and Strike King (in that order). I usually determine color and blade combinations according to water clarity, light level and time of year. If we're talking this time of year, I'm usually starting off with a white and black with a double willow in half ounce. I do carry about 70 or so spinnerbaits with me so I can adapt quickly if the color, size or blade combination isn't working on that day. The majority of the year I do favor 3/8oz size. Prespawn and post-spawn I have found a couple of colors that work for me under most conditions as well.

war eagle and hildebrand. okeechobee special.
