ipeeinmywetsuit Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 I have never had a lot of luck with spinnerbaits until recently. I have only one and its a Strike King bleeding spinnerbait thats 3/16 oz and in the fire tiger color. It has a gold willow blade and a small chrome indiana blade. I've caught quite a few fish on this bait the past three days. However, I want to order some more. I was wondering what you guys like for stained/murky water with some clear patches in the shallower water? What brand/type? The fish seem to love the size of mine which is fairly smaller. Thanks for reading! Quote
BenBassmaster Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Well, in the pond I fish at a Booyah Chartrusse spinnerbait, works great in murky water for me I believe they're 1/16 or 1/8. I'll have to check for you. Quote

The Rooster Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Booyah is a good bait. I like larger ones in the 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 oz. range though. White is an absolute must have color. Black or some other dark color is too. Chartreuse, or white/chartreuse can be also at times. Blade combinations are endless and there are several different ones I use depending on conditions. I carry as many as 40 all the time. Tandem willow and Colorado blades are a staple but I also like dual or single Colorado for murky waters or low light conditions. Double willow is great for burning a bait or for grass. Quote

The Rooster Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Strike king makes good baits. War eagle too. Basically they're all similar but I only get the ones with ball bearing swivels and open R bends for the line ties. Avoids line tangle hassles this way and makes blade turn easier with slow rolling them. Tackle shop made baits can be good and usually offer lots of "non manufactured" colors and blade combos. Got any local shops nearby?? But trust me, you want the white Booyah. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted September 21, 2012 Super User Posted September 21, 2012 Terminators catch the most fish for me, followed closely by pepper hawg spinnerbaits from pepperjigs.com. Quote
Jake P Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Strike king tour grade spinnerbaits is all I fish. White and white/chartreuse in 1/4 or 3/8 oz. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 21, 2012 Global Moderator Posted September 21, 2012 War Eagle is about the only spinnerbait I fish anymore with the exception of a few Booyah spinnerbaits that I use for fun fishing because they're cheaper if I lose one or if it gets bent up. A chartruese and white or bright white 3/8oz with tandem colorado/willowleaf, or colorado/indiana style blades is one of my go two baits in stained water. Quote
noah3d Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 I use Booyah and War Eagle Spinnerbaits. I really like the Gold Scale Chartreuse White color in Booyah Spinnerbaits. The Booyah Pipsqueek and War Eagle Buzzbait are good as well. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 21, 2012 Super User Posted September 21, 2012 Here are a few to consider: NorthStar Hidden Weight SpinnerBait http://www.northstar...innerbaits.html MegaStrike StrikeBack Spinnerbait http://www.megastrik...ack-spinnerbait For deep structure, the 3/4 oz Ledgebuster Single Willow Blade http://www.strikezonelure.com/ledgebuster.htm Regardless of the brand you choose, replace the skirts with Lumaflex http://store.jobabylures.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=J&Category_Code=SKL Quote
ipeeinmywetsuit Posted September 21, 2012 Author Posted September 21, 2012 Revenge I looked at these and I am definitely going to try one in the blue gill pattern. These look so good for the price. Maybe too good. War Eagle is about the only spinnerbait I fish anymore with the exception of a few Booyah spinnerbaits that I use for fun fishing because they're cheaper if I lose one or if it gets bent up. A chartruese and white or bright white 3/8oz with tandem colorado/willowleaf, or colorado/indiana style blades is one of my go two baits in stained water. I am going to try a couple booyahs, war eagles, and a revenge spinner. I'll report back with what I like! Quote

I am seriously considering a strike back. I don't need one for deeper water. The fish seem to like the shallow running baits right now. I threw one because I noticed bait fish jumping but I couldn't see the bass blowing up on them so I threw a spinnerbait and wham one after another. Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted September 21, 2012 Super User Posted September 21, 2012 My all time favorite is a pro clacker, impossible to find locally. Do a search you'll find it, its the weirdest spinner you'll ever see. Perfect for stained water Quote
Mike__D Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 My favs are the war eagle screaming eagle in white with gold blades. mike D Quote
11justin22 Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 I've had good luck with terminator and strike king. The war eagle ones look really good and are popular but I have yet to try them. Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted September 21, 2012 Super User Posted September 21, 2012 got off of my phone and on the computer, here is a link to the spinnerbait I referenced, I've caught more bass on this type of spinnerbait than all others combined. http://shop.assassin...rbait-CS-08.htm Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted September 21, 2012 Super User Posted September 21, 2012 Take a look at the spinner baits from Chris at Northstar. I caught my largemouth pb on a hidden weight spinner bait. Good quality hooks & very durable.They are a sponsor on this site. Quote
