What you you mean PB willow leaf spinner bait? Like the biggest I've caught on it, or my favorite one?

I like the 1/2oz vibraflex spinnerbaits with a strike king perfect plastics swimbait as a trailer

Okay so I didn't word it right. Here's what I meant: What spinnerbait would you recommend for fishing in thick weeds in ultra clear water in he most active feeding time?

I just use the vibraflex for all applications just changing blades, in clear water I like 3/8 oz double willow with a smaller trailer but I'm sure everyone has a different opinion

This is more of a personal preference, as there are literally dozens of (if not more) tackle makers who produce quality spinnerbaits. My personal favorites are War Eagle and Northland. 

 

In the situation you describe on my local waters I'd probably throw a War Eagle Finesse spinnerbait in the mouse color with no trailer, which is more of an Indiana blade crossed with a willow leaf and a small Colorado blade on the side. Your mileage may vary. They make white too.

I would throw a swim jig instead of a spinnerbait in ultra clear water with thick weeds.

You mean to tell me it's a holiday and no one was on the internet that could answer your question because they were cooking out and spending time enjoying life? Shame on us...

Ironically, I was getting way more answers on other older posts than any other day. It seemed to me like every person in the world was on bassrescource.

Some times these boards are slow. Don't get discouraged. Tons of folks on here willing to help if they have time.

Try a War Eagle Screaming Eagle in Mouse or Spot Remover, no trailer in clear water unless you're fishing for smallmouth, then put a bright chartreuse split tail or fluke on the back of it.

Ultra clear water means a a heavy spinnerbait, at least 1/2oz with smaller than normal willow leaf blades, say a size #4 on the swivel and a #3.5 on the clevis. The skirt is going to be a translucent or natural color, even white may be too much, thing clear with silver flake or smoke with a few strands of pearl, something like that and it has to be burned, which happens to be the reason for the smaller blades. In clear water you don't want the fish to get time to look at the bait, you want them to see it and recact so be fast and good things will happen!!

Thanks for the tip about trailers. Never knew that. You know how bass feed primarily by sight? I would think you'd especially use a trailer in clear water. But I guess I should listen to the pro here.

Far from a pro for sure. In clear water it's often best to offer them as little as possible to ID as a fake. That's why small, natural colored finesse baits work so well in clear water. I like the bright trailer for smallmouth because they're a very curious fish and the hard contrast of the trailer to the bait will catch their eye and they just can't help themselves sometimes.

Well

Well thanks for the tip though. You sure saved me some money (lol).
