I throw a spinnerbait every time I go fishing. I throw it even if I am not getting bites on it. I throw it because I like to watch it coming thru the water and I think to myself" Man, that looks so cool, I can't believe the fish are not biting it". I will change colors and blades in accordance with the water/sky conditions.

Anyone else do this with a bait?

I will also throw a crankbait, some type of soft plastic, and maybe even a frog/buzzbait as well. But as I move around the lake fishing from the bank, I throw the spinnerbait at every location.

LOL i am like that with my texas rigged worm!  ;D

Hey man spinners can be just as versatile as jigs, I dont blame you one bit. Considering that you can burn, helicopter, stop and go, slow roll, just whatever and combine that with the 1000's of weight, color, and blade configurations, you should be fine 8-)

I am the same way with buzzbaits, and sometimes with senkos.

That's the way I am with a fluke.

as much as i love to see that spinner bait myself, there is a time and place

x2 8-)   The color should be least important.The weight of the bait in accordance to the blade(s) sizes is the most important.If the bite is tough you can still stumble upon the right combination and get hits on a spinnerbait.I don't really believe there is any day that they won't bite a spinnerbait.It's just what kind of spinnerbait? Some days they'll eat it reagrdless.

That said,I am the same way with some of my topwaters

I keep a spinnerbait pretty much permanently on a BC rig.  Love the way they go through brush without hanging up (too much)!

... I throw it even if I am not getting bites on it. I throw it because I like to watch it coming thru the water and I think to myself" Man, that looks so cool, I can't believe the fish are not biting it". ...

That is the very reason I threw a 7'' Tru-Life Bluegill almost half the day saturday

Glad I am not the only one. I actually think to myself " Man, how can the fish resist that, it looks so cool"

A fishing lure is nothing but a tool designed to help you catch fish. Try not to fall in love with one type. You are only limiting yourself. Time on the water is important to me and I will not waste(On purpose) any minute of it. You are just cheating yourself out of possibly catching a lot of fish or a toad. If you want to watch it go through the water slip into a neighborhood pool, mix a drink, catch a tan, and enjoy. On second thought than does not sound to bad.

Fishfordollars, I do change colors, blade types, etc to try to entice the fish to bite. I probably do spend too much time fishing the spinnerbait, but I also catch more fish on it than anything else. Kind of a self-fulfillng prophecy I guess. I do like how it looks coming thru the water. ;D  If I were a fish, I would eat it.

I used to throw a spinnerbait all the time.  Then I got into throwing jerkbaits and senkos, which I then did all the time.  This year I seem to be throwing crankbaits and jigs.  I don't know what it is, but I fish a lure soooo much that I feel the challenge of catching a fish with it consistently has passed and I move on to another lure I suck at.

I have to try a spinner bait every time / place that I fish also    I started bass fishin with a spinner  and really like using them   I do use several other  baits  but do like the spinners

Fishfordollars is obviously correct.  However, I do throw a spinnerbait a lot, but it's for good reasons.  The waters I fish on a regular basis are very stained and often the wind is 20 - 30mph.  The spinnerbait fits the conditions on many occasions.
