DN3 Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 Looking for some different/unique spinnerbaits to try…anyone have any suggestions? Love throwing spinnerbaits and am looking for something a little different to throw when the bite gets tough 1 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 28, 2022 Global Moderator Posted February 28, 2022 Got anything with copper blades? Don't see them often and they flat wear the fish out here when the conditions are right. I like the War Eagle copper with a white skirt. 5 Quote
Super User Deleted account Posted February 28, 2022 Super User Posted February 28, 2022 Would need to know when, where, and how to make any answer remotely valid, but in general, I'd get any 3/8 or 1/2 oz willow/colorado, change the skirt to match forage, down size the blades one size, make one gold and the other one silver, and add a do nothing smallish trailer. I hardly fish any spinnerbait stock, so most of the time I'm fishing something different or unique.. 2 Quote

They seem to be more stuff and cheaper quality than before. I’ve switched to Terminator and haven’t looked back Quote
KP Duty Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 Small compact spinnerbaits are my ticket when the bite toughens. Post bass spawn when bluegill are spawning, they are dynamite. Micro spinners like the Booyah pond magic can unskunk you on a tough day. Quote

I have so many hanging on the pegboard in my garage that I haven't needed to but I know they were bought out so it's possible but I tie my own skirts so that's not a big issue if they did. Quote

Spy Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 Razor Baits is selling a spinnerbait called the 'Samurai Spin' with the Ninja Blade setup or as they call them 'Tom A Hawk' style blades. As different and unique as they get! Quote

RDB Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 Just go on LureParts or Barlows and order some different blade types…there are tons of blades and cups to keep you busy. I use the pre-poured heads and build from there and it’s cheaper than buying pre-built. I made a few recently using chopper, royal, thumper, and whiptail blades. If you like to tinker, it can be a lot of fun. Quote
fin Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 This was given to me, I don't know who makes it. I don't know how old, at least 20 years or so, I'm guessing. I've never tried to make one, but it probably wouldn't be too hard. 3 Quote

With added blades come more drag and less thump, but french blades being so flat, that may just add thump. What your opinion fin? Quote

I should make some triple or quad blades sometime. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted March 1, 2022 Super User Posted March 1, 2022 The Strike King Rocket Shads are great for current and deep water . I hate the hook set up though , so made some heavy compact baits for those times . Quote

I've tried every blade combination I can muster, and I haven't seen a french blade make an improvement in action or catching over other blades in either position on a spinnerbait, can't honestly say why. On inlines they are killer in pretty much any size, I make a mini double blade in line that catches everything. I really like figuring out the why in baits, and this one has me stumped. Quote
