how many?

[Darren.]

10 ish. Usable? Maybe 3.

The rest are old, from my Dad's collection.

[gulfcaptain]

I'd say somewhere around 30 or so.  Most in the 3/8oz, but do have some 1/4 and 1/2 oz mixed in with a mix of double willow, wiliow/colorado, single willow, double colorado, and single colorado.  A handful of buzzbaits, and about a dozen bladed jigs.

[the reel ess]

No more than 10. Use 2, maybe 3.

[EricTheAngler]

Five... I dont fish spinnerbaits that much but the ones I fish I fish a lot.

[Munkin]

Since I make my own and they are my favorite bait I have a lot.

I do know that I have 9 spinnerbait molds though.

[Montanaro]

Id say 6.

All revenge baits in 1/4 to 3/8.  Shad patterns, whites and chartrueses.  I want to add a couple more  1/4oz deep runners as they mimic small shad perfectly

 

 

 

[Buckeye Ron]

Less than 30,of which I routinely use 5 or 6 in white or some variation of chartreuse. After this many years I have it narrowed down to what actually does catch fish for me. The "rest"are in boxes someplace.

[tander]

Probably 40 which consist of 3 different brands, Booyah, Hart, and Mr Hootie.

[ww2farmer]

ZERO

I have not fished a spinner bait more than a handful of times over the past 3-4 years.

The swim jig and chatterbait have replaced it. I always carried a few of my old favorites around the last few years...........a 3/8 oz chart./white with tandem #4 gold willow leaf blades, and a 1/4 oz. Bluegill colored "finesse" spinnerbait with tandem #3 gold willow leaf blades, but I can count on one hand and have fingers left over the number of times I used them since I started using swim jigs, and chatterbaits. So a few weeks ago I said "to heck" with them, sold my remaining spinnerbaits off, and will head into next year with ZERO spinnerbaits.

[Fishinthefish]

10 individual baits. Multiple sizes in them.

  Im not a big fan of spinnerbaits, but my dad (60 years old) uses them every time we go fishing.  I mean that's all he uses, 100%,  Some days he hammers the bass, and I cant believe it, they really do work great.  I never seem to have much luck with them myself, and probably own around 10 of them.  I can try to use the exact same ones he is using, and he catches 10 and I get 0, he gets some pigs too!  I just don't get it, he's just really good with them for some odd reason.  Great bait for covering a lot of water and catching fish!

What differences are there between you and your dad in rods/reels/line, speed and pattern of retrieval, depth that he runs the bait, fish attractant, cleaner hands, pays more attention to cover, willingness to run the bait deeper down into the weeds? Snaps it out of the weeds more enticingly? Or is it that he anticipates the bites better, feels the bites better, or sets the hook better? Or is it that he dawdles less, casts farther, has bait in the water more minutes per hour, has more rods with more types of spinner baits ready to go? Anyway, it has to be something -- either coincidence or something he does differently, maybe something subtle, maybe something you can't put in words. If you can figure it out you'll catch more fish too. And if you figure it out, let us know too!

[soflabasser]

I have over 10 spinnerbaits.They are among my favorite lures to use since they are great for covering water and catching decent sized bass.

[Catt]

20-25 most are Stanley

[BaitMonkey1984]

I would say 40 and I only throw about 3. All Terminator T-1s for me moving forward.

[tholmes]

Probably around 50, but only because I bought a plastic bucket of about 35 at a yard sale for $3.00 a couple of years ago. I keep about 10 in my tackle box.

The one who dies with the most stuff -----> WINS !!!!!

I stopped counting when I got to 100 and ........ I pretty much fish with the same 5 I´ve been fishing for the last 20+ years, all I do is renew the skirts on those and sharpen the hook.

Give the Original JoBaby Lumaflex skirts a try.  http://www.jobabylures.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=SKL

Spinnerbaits and rods are like women's shoes - - - you can never have enough.

 

I had no idea you were so into women's shoes!  That's kind of a strange admission given the thread topic haha

[clh121787]

Maybe 10-12. Need to fish them more.

[Scarborough817]

Just one that I got in last month's mtb

[bunkerbstr]

I have no clue.  Safely say over 50 though.  Stanley, Strike King, War Eagle, Booyah and some custom made.
