bkohlman Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 My favorite has been the strike king red eye. I have caught a lot of fish on it, plus my PB fish. Quote
zell_pop1 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 My favorites are old Hildebrandt spinners that were made in my hometown. They are long gone but i still have a few 1/8 for crappie. Now I luse War Eagle or Stan Sloan Zorros. Quote
Owen_007 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 The northland spinnerbaits are awesome for $3. Good colors, sharp hooks, closed wire(awesome feature) and are tough as nails. I caught over 100 bass/pike on a single one last year in chartreuse and it looks no different from the day I bought it besides half the skirt missing and no red finish on the hook. That's my .02 Quote
Super User bigbill Posted February 1, 2018 Super User Posted February 1, 2018 I even setup those 99 cent 1/8 oz spinnerbaits with a blue glimmer skirt and a mt trailer. https://www.mistertwister.com/information/split-double-tail/335#SDT10 1 or a 1/8 oz spinnerbait with a hot chartreuse skirt and a mt trailer. https://www.mistertwister.com/information/split-double-tail/335#SDT10 10 i trim the length of the skirt a tad. I trim the body on the mt grub so it fits the length of the hook. Even the cheap spinnerbaits work if we tweet them. i find my skirts at brannans bass shop. The blue glimmer skirt for the white spinnerbait and the hot chartreuse skirt for the chartreuse spinnerbait. dont forget I’m a shore fisherman I keep spinnerbaits small but with the larger skirt so it has a wider view. Bulk is the key. Quote
Super User burrows Posted February 1, 2018 Super User Posted February 1, 2018 Anyone still using northstar haven't heard much about them lately but I still see they have compact spinnerbaits on tw? 1 Quote
Landis Carrier Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 I really like Terminators and War Eagle. Quote
Super User bowhunter63 Posted February 2, 2018 Super User Posted February 2, 2018 Hands down WAR Eagle. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted February 5, 2018 Super User Posted February 5, 2018 Old school terminators, followed closely by Pepper Custom Baits Spinnerbait and Nichols Pulsators. Quote
RB 77 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 I've been digging the Pepper Customs lately. Favorite replacement skirt is my own blend. Quote

Fleck was the No. 1 manufacturer of them back then. Been using them successfully ever since. Inexpensive and effective. Being as they are still produced today, makes you wonder how far off can they be, right. Fleck, that's a new one to me. Will have to check them out. Cool coming across brands u never heard of. Quote

Sbaird091 Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 3/8 bananna Head white/chartreuse flat rubber skirt blades depend on conditions Quote
Super User scaleface Posted February 11, 2018 Super User Posted February 11, 2018 Shallow , spring , dirty water I use bright chartreuse skirts with a lot of thump . As soon as the bass get conditioned to them , in a week or two , I switch to smaller ones with willow leafs and duller colors . Summertime clear water deep , I use a heavier bait with a small blade/blades in shad color . Shallow and clear A lighter weight , willow leaf shad or bluegill color . Fall I just play it by ear . Brand , I dont give a hoot . Half the time they are homemade lures . Night time I have been fishing the Strike King Midnight special exclusively . I need to add a chartreuse skirt to one and fish it this spring . Quote
