Jon Morris Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Seems like the vast majority of spinnerbaits are meant to imitate shad. Unfortunately the area I usually fish doesn't seem to have any but has tons of bluegill. Just lost my favorite bluegill spinnerbait and wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions for replacemes?

Super User buzzed bait Posted October 24, 2016 Super User Posted October 24, 2016 contact mike siebert @Siebert Outdoors and he'll hook you up with whatever color you want! 6 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 24, 2016 Global Moderator Posted October 24, 2016 Seibert has some excellent bluegill colors and great prices on his spinnerbaits. 6 Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted October 24, 2016 Super User Posted October 24, 2016 You can always buy bluegill colored skirts and replace your favorite brand. Seibert makes good one's as well. I throw the Lucky Craft Skeet Reese one's in the bluegill pattern as well. A green pumpkin works as a good imitator as well, which I'm sure you have from sold old jigs. 2 Quote

Super User Raul Posted October 25, 2016 Super User Posted October 25, 2016 Interesting, where I live there's no shad so spinnerbaits can't imitate something bass have never seen, some places have bluegills but not all, some have tilapia but not all, still my everyday spinnerbait color has been white and with it I have caught thousands of fish no matter where I went, Tamaulipas, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Nayarit, Queretaro, Sinaloa that old white spinnerbait has caused trouble. 5 1 Quote

Super User WIGuide Posted October 25, 2016 Super User Posted October 25, 2016 Just buy yourself a few packs of skirts like the Terminator quick skirts, northland has their version as well and so does z-man. Then you can carry fewer spinnerbaits and just swap the skirts to change colors. My favorite bluegill color skirt comes from z-man Quote

I'm with you Raul. Shad aren't common up north here, but sometimes it's more about what gives you confidence and not what the fish will bite. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted November 8, 2016 Super User Posted November 8, 2016 Pepper Custom Baits make the best spinnerbaits IMO, and they have several bluegill colors. Terminator has a bluegill colored skirt too. 1 Quote
