I never really have too much luck with spinner baits, but of course i would like too. I need help with matching the color to the water clarity, if that matters. Also any techniques you would like to share would be appriciated.

Thanks,

Steve

Also, any advice for brands of good spinners would be great.

I fish spinnerbaits A LOT, and wrote the article above.

Hope that helps!

I love spinnerbaits.  My favorite is the Terminator Tungsten Skeet Reese version,  7/16 oz.  Works like a charm.

You need to separte spinnerbaits for largies and smallies.

Smallies is a need for speed and largies bump and bang and trash around.

They can be fished many different ways but it is easy to fish them too fast. I like to slow them down and let them bump off of rocks, stumps, the bottom, or just tickling the grass.

One of the most productive lures of alltime and still going strong.

some good brands are boo yah,strike king, and terminator

Thanks for the info. Just got some new spinner baits and am going fishing tomarrow. Hopefully this will help.

As far as color choice I generally stick with white in clearer water and chartreuse or firetiger in darker water. If the water is stained or in between I like white w/ chartreuse.

Terminator, chart, blue, and firetiger seem to work best for me my water is stained to murky but all colors have worked at one time or another.
