BDM Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Just bought some War Eagle spinner baits from Wal-Mart, seem to be good quality, made in USA. Haven't had a chance to use them yet, anyone familiar wih them? Thanks in advance for any replies! Oh, this is my first post, hi everyone! Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted April 19, 2010 Super User Posted April 19, 2010 Welcome aboard.. There's a few guys that use War Eagle, sorry, I'm not one of them.. ;D Quote
kLuo Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 welcome! I only use War Eagle and Terminator spinnerbaits. both companies make quality goods, and you can tell immediately after you take it out of the package because when you spin the blade with your finger, the bearings are so good that it spins forever Quote
bpNClgmouth Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Personally its all I use. Love the Blue Herring color with double willow... Quote
Super User Sam Posted April 19, 2010 Super User Posted April 19, 2010 Yes, I use the War Eagles. No problems with them. I have never seen them at Wal-Mart. Will have to check that out. Thanks for the tip. Welcome to the forum. Let us know how you do, especially with the War Eagles. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 19, 2010 Super User Posted April 19, 2010 Welcome aboard! The War Eagle spinnerbaits are very popular and seem to be well made. There are a lot of guys on this forum that use nothing else. If you are looking for another suggestion, MegaStrike has just come out with a new line and ***'s selection is one of the very best. Both are BassResource.com sponsors. 8-) Quote
jb_adams Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I am one of those that only uses War Eagle. I've tried many brands. Almost all of the popular brands (Terminator, Stike King, Booyah, etc.) and I can't tell ya for sure if the bass here on Beaver Lake only support local companies (War Eagle is based in Rogers, AR) or if they just like War Eagle spinnerbaits only but.I've only had luck consistent luck with War Eagle. If a spinnerbait bite is on, I'll have 1 of 3-4 colors tied on depending on water clarity. They make an awesome spinnerbait, jigs, blades, etc. They also have a wide color selection, blade options, etc. I don't believe in the fish head type spinnerbaits. You know, the ones with eyes glude on and they look like a real fish. I have caught bass in gin-clear water with that silver head made on a War Eagle. The key is using a trailer that matches the skirt. I like using a grub in the same skirt color and I'll pump the bait a few times on the retrieve. Quote
adclem Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 War Eagle is pretty much all I use. Outstanding quality and at a very good price. Later, Quote
Al Wolbach Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Favorite color: Hot Mouse...................Al Quote
jb_adams Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Favorite color: Hot Mouse...................Al Agreed. Regular mouse is awesome for semi clear water. Also white with chartreuse tipped skirts are great for stained/muddy water. A lot of folks around here love the "cole-slaw" color for really muddy water. I have a lot more mouse in my tackle than any other color. I'm that confident in it. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted April 19, 2010 Super User Posted April 19, 2010 I've heard so many good reviews about them , I m going to pick up a few. Quote
jb_adams Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I've heard so many good reviews about them , I m going to pick up a few. The local pros on FLW and Bassmaster Elite Series use them. Not because they are paid by them, because they have fished them for years and have confidence in them. (Bohannon, McClelland, etc.) I guess I am partial to them because they are a local company. So is BassX jigs but both are great products. The fact that they are designed and made by anglers who know my home lake better than I do is also a good confidance boost. The owners of War Eagle fish Beaver Lake so no wonder the fish in Beaver like them. They know what works for this lake. Stanley, Terminator, Strike King, KVD (just lost a new KVD), etc that have "angler attractive" qualities work but for me, it's War Eagle. Great buzzbaits too. They have a nice squeal to them and they are strong. OK. I've plugged my favorite spinnerbait enough. Quote
hookset on 3 Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 War Eagles come equipped with Sampo Ball Bearing swivels, which are simply the best. Quote
ksboy Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 I don't use them (yet) but a guy in my club uses them and he said he loves them. He buys them from a local shop but our WalMart does carry them. Quote
