Booyah Quality

[boydn1]

Booyah are about the only spinnerbaits I use

[stkbassn]

What baits would you recommend? I have War Eagle available relatively locally.

 

If I could find a spinnerbait that I thought was as good as a War Eagle I'd use it but I really don't think it exists. It might, just haven't found it myself. Of course I really don't see the need to look for one. Get some War Eagles and decide for yourself but I think you'll be pleased.

Booyah baits are a tradeoff imo.. I personnal love their stuff

theyre reasonably priced and are built to catch fish

nothing lasts forever getting hammered by big hungry fish constantly

it doesnt last as long as other brands but they are build to catch for sure

 

and mostly my war eagle sits on its perch cause I've been throwin mostly booyah for the last couple years

, I'd avoid the extreme trokar, just because I don't like trokar hooks,.

Why in the world would you have any reason to dislike Trokar hooks? They might be expensive but they are far superior to most hooks on the market. Awesome sharp profiles that cut into fish.

I only use war eagle, they are quality spinnerbaits at a good price.

I have had some quality control issues with booyah spinnerbaits. Not a lot but some. Lost about a four pounder due to a broken wire. I did catch a lot of bigger fish on that bait prior to the broken wire. Even though I still use them , they are some fish catching SOBs.

[Bankbeater]

I use the jigs quite a bit. Never had any issue with them. I've never used the spinnerbaits though.

[5 Dollar Fishing Game]

Been there done that. Junk IMO. They gave me the breeze. I don't use their stuff anymore.

I have a new one being sent out to replace that one. I sent a picture and immediately received a response asking for my shipping info.

[jtharris3]

I only throw Terminators or a couple of old Stanley's that I have left.

[Drew03cmc]

I threw the T1 baits for a few years. I guess I need to go back.

Love booyah spinnerbaits. .. They just don't last ling.. Especially if you are catching them left and right. Plenty times I have hooked a fish on them and all I reel in is the blades. The hook and head break off with the fish on it. .

You should have kept the Strike King spinnerbaits you gave me. I used the reel you traded me and the bluegill colored spinnerbait to catch this fish Thursday.

I have had this happen to me on the Booyah spinnerbaits that are sold exclusively through Dick's Sporting Goods.

My problem with SB's is mostly keeping skirts on them. They just aren't made like they used to be. Where I fish most of the time, SB is not an everyday bait. It seems that every time I really start catching them on it, the skirts fall off. Same with buzzbaits. And replacement skirts seem to be even lower quality.

Try the Terminator quick-skirts or the like. They have very few problems with them. They cost more originally, but they last far longer than a rubber band skirt and they also allow you to switch colors easily. 

 

In regards to OP, I've used all sorts of spinnerbaits, and unfortunately you get some every now and then where the blades go flying regardless of manufacturer. I think you'd be fine with using them again as the next one you buy could be in service for years.

I'll do that. And I'll put them on some old Uncle Buck SBs I have that bare still in great shape. I wish BPS had never stopped selling those.

 

I just read another way to make the skirts last is to twist some light gauge ware around them. Rubber bands are have a short life.

Sounds like a good plan to throw them on there. You can twist wire too, and if you're set on keeping the color that's fine. The best part about the quick skirts for me is I can use one head and change the colors in a matter of seconds. Depending on where you fish that may or may not be a big deal. For me though I've got around 100 different lakes within an hour of my house so I need to be able to adapt depending on where I am that day.

Bragger, just kidding. I'm glad you're enjoying them. I thought about keeping them all, but i just don't throw bigger spinnerbaits. Some of them felt like half ouncers. That is a pig. Where is Cedar Valley?

I've never tried War Eagle but my buddy gave me some nice spinnerbaits made by the Advantage Bait Company and I love them. Problem with them is the price, they are pretty expensive.

[Drew03cmc]

Booyah sent me a box with two new Blades in it. I can't gripe I guess.

[Sea NaCl]

I have not had a problem with them. I actually like them considering most of my PBs have been broken by them.

[Drew03cmc]

I had a couple el cheapo baits do the same thing in the past, but when that happened after two bass, I wasn't thrilled.

[Turtle135]

If I am throwing spinnerbaits on the Tidal Potomac I usually use a Terminator (with the titanium wire frames). They hold up to the inevitable Northern Snakehead or Blue Catfish that twist other spinnerbaits into pretzels.
