What weight does everyone use? I am guessing that 3/8 and 1/2 are the two most popular sizes but wanted to ask.

½ oz period   :o

I use spinnerbaits from 1/8 oz. up to 1 oz. depending on the need and they are ALL needed at some time during the year.

Brad

3/8 oz. and 1/2 oz.

5/8 oz is the ideal for me

99% of the time it will be a 1/2oz.  The rest of the time, 3/8.

I too have a time and place for 1/8 to 1 oz., and will use all sizes sometime throughout the season. The size i use most is a 1/4 oz. frame with a 1/4 oz rubbercore sinker clamped on behind the pearl blue glimmer skirt.

The reason I ask is I am having a custom head spun and cannot choose a weight? I too fish spinnerbaits from 1/8-1oz but at $125+ per size molds would get really expensive. Most of the time I am using a 3/8 or 1/2oz depending on different situations. If I can' t soon guess I will just go with 7/16oz and call it a day.

Mostly 1/4 and 3/8 oz, but depending on situation i'll go down to 1/8 and up to 1/2. If I want to go deeper, I'll put a smaller blade on a 1/2 oz SB.

I use a 1/2oz. 90% of the time, unless it is the Fall.  In the Fall I will use a small spinnerbait to mimic the smaller baitfish.  Usually a 1/4oz or a 3/8 oz.

I ussually fish 1/4 3/8 or 1/2 but recently found some 3/4 and I'm in search for some 1 oz

3/8oz mostly but have a arsenal of 1/4oz through 1 1/4 oz.

3/8 to 1/2 oz.  I try to keep all my different color and blade combos in both weights.

90% of my spinnerbait fishing is done with 3/8 oz wt size.
