papajoe222 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I've been using a new spinnerbait for about a month now and I have to say, I have never had a bait change my opinion about a new design to an old standby as this bait has. StrikeBack™ spinnerbait by MegaStrike is the only one I've had tied on my spinnerbait rod for over two weeks now and I don't intend to cut it off except to retie. Needless to say, it has not only become my favorite new design but my new favorite all around. A number of things about this bait jump out at you when you see it for the first time. The swivel head that pivots and the dimpled, painted blade are just two. I've been a fan of hammer finished blades for years and have been painting my own for a number of years, so that feature wasn't anything new to me or the market. The pivoting head is what sets this bait apart from others. I don't think the person that designed it actually realized it's potential. Aside from keeping a hooked fish from gaining leverage to throw the bait, it allows you to burn the bait without it rolling on it's side. That eliminates changing baits to something heavier or with smaller blades. This was the first thing that impressed me. What impresses me the most is the enjoyment of fighting a fish hooked on this bait. It intensifies the fight you experience similar to the way braided line increases sensitivity. When a fish shakes it's head, because of the head design, it's able to swing more and when the head stops pivoting the angler feels a pronounced thump you just don't feel with a standard spinnerbait. Trust me, the first time you hook a fish on this bait, you won't believe the enjoyment you'll experience bringing it in. 4 Quote
Bank4Bass Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I have a small spinnerbait obsession, with that being said these have been on my short list to pick up! Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted June 5, 2014 Super User Posted June 5, 2014 The MegaStrike StrikeBack Spinnerbait is a winner. http://www.megastrike.com/#!products/vstc2=strikeback-spinnerbait Great review! Quote
Super User Deleted account Posted June 5, 2014 Super User Posted June 5, 2014 I was all ready to try it until the "increases the pleasure of the fight" thing. Funny stuff. Quote
PersicoTrotaVA Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Interesting, I am going to have to pick one of these up and try it out. I am a big fan of the SK rocket shad. It also has a floating hook, but the bait is tiny. I would love a 3/8 oz rocket shad and this strikeback seems to be the closest thing to it. Thanks for sharing papajoe! Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Great review and thank you for the kind words Papa- One thing I must say-I did realize the amazing potential of this new spinner bait, It took me almost 3 years to get it right.Every time i go out and use it i find something different that sets it apart. When I try to tell everyone about it -people just say YEAH YEAH YEAH- a spinner bait is a spinner bait- as you can see its not true as you see. How do you like those blades under water-pretty cool huh LOL These spinner baits are definitely unique-not gimmick unique- functionally unique. Again these are made with the highest quality components available-all custom- Thank you again for the review-and the others -seriously -you must try them- Bobby@megastrike.com www.megastrike.com Quote
