TeachMeHowToFish Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 I don't know if I got lucky or something, but I was doing some walmart shopping in the fishing aisle. Decided to get another spinnerbait since the peacocks down here ripped the blade off my other one. Anyways, went to buy it, and noticed it was only 50 cents. I asked the cashier why, and she said she wasn't sure. The package was a little smushed so maybe that was the reason, but still pretty awesome. Also it came with a trailer hook attached. Don't know if that's commom since I'm a beginner but I thought that was awesome as well. EDIT- JUST FOUND OUT WHY. Opened up the package and realized that the thing holding up the skirt was broken halfway. So pretty much as soon as I throw it out in the water, that skirt is gonna fly right off. I guess I can just cinch down the barb to the hook and keep the trailer hook. Oh well, not too ticked since i only spent 50 cents.....but now I gotta go back and buy a spinner at full price! All in all spent about $20 on Gary Yamamoto worms Storm sunfish (2nd picture) KVD sexy frog And the StrikeKing spinnerbat Also has anyone used these? They are ALWAYS sold out at my Walmart but saw there was only 2 left so I picked them up. Any advice on these? Quote
Blues19 Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 that is like a $6 spinnerbait you got for 50 cents. Good work! Quote
Kevin22 Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Take some braided lie or light wire and tie the skirt on. 3 Quote
TeachMeHowToFish Posted July 13, 2013 Author Posted July 13, 2013 Take some braided lie or light wire and tie the skirt on. I ended up completely tearing the thing apart and taking off the blade and just putting it on my other one.I kept the skirt and trailer. For 50 cents I got a skirt, trailer hook, and a gold willow leaf to put on my other spinner. I think for 50 cents, it was well worth it Quote

Super User Sam Posted July 13, 2013 Super User Posted July 13, 2013 Teach, AJ is in Michigan. You are in Florida. If it was football the game between Florida and Michigan it would be over by the half with the Gators so far ahead that everyone in the stands would go home. Give those Storms a shot and see if the Florida bass will strike at them. If so, then you have found another bait to use. If not, you have found another bait to keep in your tackle for no apparent reason as the rest of us. 49 days to kickoff!!!! Quote
