Grant Schuen Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 whats your favorite spinner baits to fish with? Quote
einscodek Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 The one I rip apart and put together in custom and then field test and tinker with and retest.. thats my fav Quote
pitchinNcrankin72 Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Lonnie Stanley; I have used them for years and they've always caught fish. Honestly, the more fish I've caught on them and the more beat up they've gotten the better they are. Quote
warpath58 Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Hoppy's made in Old Hickory Tn Check them out at Hoppyslures.com they use to make a floating spinnerbait but they stop making those 5 or 6 years ago sure wish they would bring them back does anyone on here happen to have any of them? Quote
Super User bigbill Posted August 20, 2014 Super User Posted August 20, 2014 I use the Mann's Classic 1/4oz Colorado gold blades, with a blue glimmer skirt. (White color with a blue tint) slightly stained to stained water. The Mann's Classic 1/4oz Colorado gold blades, with a chartreuse skirt. Over cast dark days with light rain, stained to muddy water. Feel free to add some YUM SHAD Scent. My trailer are mister twister 4" split double tail grub. Add a trailer hook the spinner bait comes with. Install the grub on the centerline so the spinner bait will run perfectly vertical. Cast it out a reel it just fast enough to make the Colorado blades snip I never burn it I make it look like an easy meal. I set up the 1/8 & 3/16oz spinnerbaits the same way. But I trim the grub body so it fits the hook. If the spinner bait doesn't come with the skirt colors I want I change them to blue glimmer (white) & hot chartreuse (chartreuse). For shore fishing in 10' of water if that I prefer the 1/8, 3/16 & 1/4 oz. Spinnerbaits. Glenn here taught me how to use spinnerbaits. The main thing is not to give up trying them. Wear your polarized sunglasses and watch behind your spinner bait or any topwater lure you can see for short strikes. When I see short strikes I go slower at first. If no hook ups I may speed up. It's not luck in fishing it's skill. Bigbill Quote

Super User Sam Posted August 20, 2014 Super User Posted August 20, 2014 They don't make them anymore. Hank Parker's old spinnerbaits were great. Now go with War Eagle or others, depending on the size and color. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted August 23, 2014 Super User Posted August 23, 2014 I don't always throw a spinner bait, but when I do it's often a Strike King product. The Burner, the Bottom Dweller and the Hack Attack Heavy Cover have all been decent producers for me. A-Jay Quote
frogflogger Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Leverage - I still have several - absolutely the best 1/2oz shallow water spinner bait I've ever used. Quote
mprestonSEK Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 War Eagle Screamin' Eagle in Chart/White Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted August 24, 2014 Super User Posted August 24, 2014 Terminator used to be. Their spinnerbaits are not nearly as good anymore, especially the double willows, the front blade often won't even spin. Now, it's Pepper custom baits and Nichols. Need to try some war eagles, revenge, and northstar. Quote
rangerjockey Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 War Eagle , and Ernest Langly ( E&l JIGS) also makes a nice one. Quote
EmersonFish Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I only use 'Terminator Super Stainless' spinnerbaits. The main reason I only use those is because I tried them many years ago, liked them, and for some reason bought more of them then I would need for half of a fishing career. I assume the Terminator SS baits they sell now have been redesigned. I wouldn't know. I skip the spinnerbait section at the tackle shop. One of these days, maybe 10 years from now, I'll try something else. Quote
Hogsticker Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 War Eagle finesse, 5/16. Also been hitting smallies with the Santone got 5 Quote
sp09 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I have three favorites, Nichols mag 44, revenge, and strike king burner. Chris. Quote
