Spinner bait

[grayfox0327]

Hi

 

Im about to buy 2 o 3 max spinner bait targeting smallmouth, largemouth and white bass, but i never used a spinner so i don't know, considering tha i will only buy 3 max wich colors are the best to choose, i normally go fishing after 5 pm and sometimes i stay fishing till midnight.

 

By the way i fish in Amistad reservoir or Amistad Lake in Del Rio, Texas.

 

Thanks

I'm no expert, nor do I even have any confidence in spinnerbaits as I dont use them a whole lot.  That being said if I were to go buy three spinner baits, I'd buy one green pumpkin, one white/chartreuse, one black/blue or another green pumpkin with a different variation of color...maybe some orange in it.   As far as blades go, one will produce more vibration than the other.  I only own two spinner baits and they're both gold, one has two willow blades, the other has a willow blade and a smaller colorado blade. 

 

I'll be watching this thread though for more responses because this is one lure I really want to better incorporate this year.

I don't use spinnerbaits as often as I should, but when I do I usually throw it when white/chartreuse color combo works the best. I always have some sort of a white trailer and a trailer hook as well. 

 

Not much to go off of, but I hope it helps.

Spinnerbaits to me are a stained/dirty water only technique. With that being said I pretty much only throw white and chartreuse, blade combo depending on water clarity. The dirtier the water the more likely I will throw double Colorado blades opposed to willow leaf blades, as they produce more "thump". Best times to use a spinnerbait is overcast conditions with some wind. Target cover like laydowns, dock pilings, weed edges, rip rap banks, points. Adding a trailer hook with help with short strikes. As far as equipment goes I use a 7' Medium heavy/moderate fast action casting rod, a 6.4:1 gear ratio reel and 15lb fluorocarbon. 90% of the time I'm out I have a spinnerbait rod with me, they just flat out catch fish.

For White Bass I choose Strike King Rocket Shads . If you do go that route  wrap a little wire around the double hook because I've had two or three come off during the fight .

Or what I do is remove the double hook and put a Gamakatsu size 1 open eye siwash hook on and clamp it shut with pliers. I feel it works better than the stock double hook.

I'll   try that . I dont like the double hooks but they are good lures .

Stanley Vibra-Wedge

Designed to deliver maximum thump and vibration, the Stanley Vibra-Wedge Spinnerbait produces more water displacement than any other spinnerbait on the market.  Featuring two of Stanley’s most innovative designs - Vibrashaft wire and Wedge blades - the Wedge blades are specially designed and taper in thickness, allowing them to emit the thump of a Colorado-blade, as well as, the flash of a standard willow blade. 

 

For all around setup I prefer double gold willow leaf & skirts of white, chartreuse, or any combination there of!

I agree, those Rocket Shads are nice little finesse spinnerbaits!

Thanks to all, the informations was really helpful

I always have a spinnerbait tied on.  I typically use either a white/chartreuse or a black/blue with 1 willow and 1 Colorado blade.  The majority of my good fish this year have been on spinnerbaits.

[Jigfishn10]

Some good advice above.

 

Good rule of thumb would be:

Low Light Conditions/Stained Water: Darker colors and more vibration - Colorado Blade

High Light/Clear Water: Lighter more natural colors and less vibration - Willow Blade

Windy Conditions. Clear Water with a lot of chop: White Color/Double Willow Blades fished into the wind

 

Never hurts to add a trailer or trailer hook or both

 

Good luck @grayfox0327, let us know how you make out.

3/8 double willow either War Eagle or Siebert Outdoors. White with accents is best color. Throw regardless of conditions, and Reel fast enough where blades are 1 to 5 inches beneath surface. Spinnerbait is my favorite bait.

Thanks for all your comments, i´ll try that today

I fish Amistad a lot too. It seems spinner baits are most effective in the spring. You can't go wrong with white/chartreuse.

I always throw out a plug for the good ol' H&H Spinner baits when there is a post about them.  They are VEEERRRRY cheap and they flat catch fish.  The best thing about them...especially when you are on a tight budget...is that you can throw them fearlessly without worrying about losing them.  Buy 2 or 3 of every color and style and you are still less than 30 bucks down.  Just remember to put the hooks on or your hookup rate will be..uh...less than stellar.  I wouldn't know, of course......a friend told me.  

 

3/8 Double Colorado blade can be found at Academy for $1.49 or even cheaper on Ebay.  They are very old school and have been around forever...because they work.

Thanks for, very useful

The lures you chose are good but your not going to catch many  white bass on them .

[YoTone]

when its dark i tie on a strike king tour grade night spinner bait and have gotten good results.

 

also those 1 dollar black colorado spinners  at walmart works great too. a bit small at 1/4 oz but its still castable in most situations and catch fish.
