Bigchunk Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Havnt thrown a spinnerbait all year, besides a few casts off my patio. Idk whyyyyyyy anyone else ever do this Quote
curtis9 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I had my best spring ever throwing mostly a spinner bait. Every big fish I've caught this year has been on the same spinner bait Quote
Chief 2 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Have not used SB much at all this spring. I think I caught one aggressive little rock bass on a small spinner about a week ago. Last year the Pickerel were attacking them. Quote
riverbasser13 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Yup for whatever reasons I haven't broken out a spinner bait yet this year, and hardly at all the past few summer's. Maybe it's cause I've learned a little bit about jig fishing, and I usually only fish 2 or 3 techniques at a time. I'll probably bring it back one of these days. 2 Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted June 10, 2015 Super User Posted June 10, 2015 I'm trying to get back into it. Haven't used em for a couple years. Been more focused on bladed jigs and swimjigs and probably missing some opportunities. Quote
annexation Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I haven't busted out my spinnerbaits all year - two seasons ago they were one of my hottest outfits. I've been so into plastics lately, I think I'd only bust out a spinnerbait now if I thought it'd be the perfect way to rig something else. Quote
greentrout Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Spinnerbait is my #1 lure to start the day off after the top water bite. Having said that, I'm catching more on plastics, especially worms. than spinnerbaits so far this year. With the dog days on the worm will be the mainstay presentation for me during the Summer months. Good fishing. The old school basser... Quote
LuckyGia Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 It's my go to lure of choice every time Even calm conditions I will catch fish with one. I just need to stop lifting the fish with the lure in their mouth. The wire breaks after about 10 fish. Bad back and hurts to squat down so I have just been lifting them with the rod. Need to bring my net from now on. Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 yeah, I havent used one in at least 3 years. not to say they don't work, but I have a lot more confidence in other lures in my area, mostly plastics. Plus, I just love that "Thump!,' a bass makes when they slurp my senko. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 10, 2015 Global Moderator Posted June 10, 2015 Nope, just bought some Cook's Go-To tackle storage racks for them to hang from. I don't fish them often, but that's because everyone else around here does. 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted June 10, 2015 Super User Posted June 10, 2015 I love spinnerbaits but everyone throws them and the biite just hasnt been there for me . I just rigged a couple of finesse spinners up and may use them some cloudy day soon . Quote
Jon G Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Yup. Bladed Jigs have pretty much reolaced spinnerbaits for me. Quote
stkbassn Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I use spinnerbaits all year long. Never neglect them 1 Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted June 10, 2015 Super User Posted June 10, 2015 yes i have and felt like i was, so last night i tied one on to throw at the pond this evening.... i've had good luck though with the swim jig so the spinnerbait hasn't had much action this year. Quote
Mr Swim Jig Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I will occasionally throw a spinner bait.... Quote
CeeJay Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I've actually been throwing small spinnerbaits quite a bit lately on the river. The local smallmouth and rock bass adore them I recently cleaned and re-painted a few of mine. They're fun lures to tinker with, and fun lures to fish with. Quote
Super User tomustang Posted June 10, 2015 Super User Posted June 10, 2015 Way too many throw a spinnerbait here so I generally don't. Another is almost every fish is a pickerel. Quote
einscodek Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Spinnerbait is on all year long for me.. Caught my biggest of the year so far a 5.5lb on a half oz spinnerbait who also snapped my rod trying to crane her onshore. Numbers too.. loads of fish this year on a 1/4 oz spinner.. always whip that out when im lookin to catch numbers. Quote
Cgrinder Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Toss me in with the "swim jigs have replaced spinnerbaits" crowd. Plus if I buy nice, thin wire ones the pike and big smallmouth will ruin them. Quote
jtharris3 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I never am without a spinnerbait! I use them year round. You just have to adjust how you fish them. Quote
BooyahMan Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I really want to throw spinnerbaits but I'm limited to the bank, and most of the spots I frequent are choked with lily pads. If I ever get out on a boat I'll be throwing them for sure though. Quote
thunderballs Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I haven't been fishing much so far this year, and the times I have gone were for bluegill/crappies. But when that was slow I have tossed around a spinnerbait to pass the time. Have not caught any bass on one yet this year, but I have gotten a couple nice northerns. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted June 10, 2015 Super User Posted June 10, 2015 Yup, I've become a spinnerbait slacker. Of late, I’m throwing spinnerbaits less & less, and the 'vibe jig' is the reason (chatterbait). The vibe jig has a streamlined silhouette like an in-line spinner, it generates as much or more vibration than a safety-pin spinner, and in grass & slop, a vibe jig w/ weedguard is more weedless than an overarm spinner Roger Quote
dead end canal Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I'm throwing an mj rig. does that count? Quote
