Best Spinnerbait

[FishTank]

Terminator has to be favorite and maybe Booyah second.  I don't care for Strike King.  I have a few that have rusted and in general, I was not pleased with how they performed.

[Guest avid]

I'm not necessarily the person to ask about spinnerbaits.

but i throw terminators and leggebusters.

I used to use Flecks alot and had excellent success.

Based on what you like about the Glamour shads I would check out the Revenge baits?

Thanks Allen thats just about what im looking for

I like Booyah! and Secret Weapon Lures.  Secret Weapon has the best blade system going IMO.

I did not like most of the baits out there because they did not fit my needs so I started making my own. Booyah are ok but they could be better? Strike King needs to start beating their Chinese child slave labors until they learn how to put a skirt on straight :-? There quality has went downhill so far it may never return. Right now if I had to buy a spinnerbait I would get a Revenge or a SOB mini-me. Terminators have a very loyal following but I have no experience with them.

I'm the same way like I can't find one on the shelf that I could see myself throwing thats why i liked the glamour shad was because it was a higher end bait with better components and also was made locally, or rather locally to me Newport News VA, opposed to the more mass produced baits you find on the shelves.

Munkin can you upload a picture of the spinnerbaits you have made?

Check out Picasso spinnerbaits. They have a similar profile and have been one of my top producing spinnerbaits over the last 4-5 years. Here's a link: www.picassooutdoors.com

Anyone use any spinnerbaits  by Nichols? www.nicholslures.com  I have heard people taking good about them but have never seen them for sale anywhere?

This time of the year, I like the Strike King Quad shad with four willow blades.   Seems to work great with shad spawning.

I just purchased my first Booyah spinner baits this weekend, this model has three willow leafs.    A little cheaper than the 9.00 Quad Shad.

For the river, I'm fond of the old H&H's.

I also like the dual/quad willows this time of year...

especially since i just caught two nice fish today which weighed 3 and five pounds on a terminator double wilow.

Two pages of replies and I can't believe nobody mentioned the Longshank.

Check this out:

Never use a trailer hook again. And, these don't get hung up like trailer hooks because the hook is always pointing up.

I've had loads of success with the Strike King Bleeding Bait series in white or chartreuse.Also like the SK Pro Model in white with gold tinsel.

That is a good looking lure.

I have been suing Booyahs successfully and not much else.  They have held up really well and seem to be well made.  Gonna try some of these mentioned here though just to see what else is out there.

I agree with the Stanley wedges!  Definitely my go to spinnerbait!

[BigAL]

KVD only!

[Avalonjohn44]

I just got three glammer shad spinners at Kmart for a $1 apiece.  They look like the Matzuo spinners, are they any good?

[TrickyVT1887]

avalonjohn I'll give you $2 a piece for them

Never had one as these as they are almost 'unobtainable' but they surely look impressive:

They are designed and made by Gancraft, a Japanese company.

I've used and caught some nice Bass on the KVD spinnerbait, made by Strike King.

Yes, I have some and have caught Bass with them.  They are high quality in every way.  I bought mine through their online store.

Lightningrod, we can always depend on you for pics and info on the really cool, high-end stuff.

Thanks,

I may be still a newb but I really don't think there is a "one bait fits all" type spinnerbait.  I think it depends on the lake and the geographical location.  With that said, there are so many other factors to consider, clarity, temp, colors, blade sizes & colors, textured blades, and thanks to Lightingrod now there are wire configurations! ;D

I believe War Eagle are the best all-around spinner baits on my local lake but I usually try others to see if I can utilize a cheaper spinnerbait.  I'm ready to now step up and strictly use War Eagle and try Terminator.  There are other spinnerbait companies that make awesome looking baits but they catch more anglers than fish I'll bet.

I completely agree with the earlier statement that: "it's all about the blades."  That will make the biggest impact by far on whether you're catching fish or not.  Am I right?  If I'm not, let me know.  I'm still a newbie.

I am going to have to bend a wireform like one of these to try out. It looks like it would not be very stable though?
