Ozark Trail Spinnerbaits

[Sphynx]

So, I was in Walmart the other day and I found this guy for something like $2.50, close as I can figure it might just be a strike king or whoever else's spinnerbait with a different brand and reduced price, anybody tried these yet?

I have noticed them too . It has a good swivel unlike other inexpensive baits .

I found one in a tree and tied it on because I had brought no spinnerbaits with me. It worked well other than not getting bit.

Take a razor blade, and cut that plastic spacer down, that baby colorado is lonely...

If that swivel works good, it will catch. And if the hook is sharp.

For $2.50 they are pretty good. I had one tied on almost all last summer. They catch fish for sure. Eagle Claw hooks and a bearing swivel, whats not to like?

yes i have, the skirts do not last the worlds longest but i mean i get a really good amount of fishing out of them i would def recommend getting these.

I don't know too many spinnerbaits that aren't a matter of catches away from needing a new skirt, just part of fishing them in my mind, great to hear!

Yep. I've bought inline spinners from Walmart / Ozark and they do not work well at low speeds.

 

I bought a 5-Pack of spinners there once. Replace the rubberband with wire, it won't last.

What rubberband? They use a tied 50 strand skirt.

Pretty sure he's talking about the band used to hold the skirt on the spinnerbait 

[MyKeyBe]

There is no rubberband on the skirt. The skirt is held on with a string like a hand tied skirt. Probably a machine tied skirt. They hold up pretty good.

I freely confess I had taken it for granted that it was a rubberband...the price and the manufacturer both led me to assume something, this is pretty crazy, a $2.50 spinnerbait that's actually tied...wow

Mine had rubberbands.

 

It was a 5-pack of spinners, full size. Maybe they are different than others here are talking about. Was maybe $8 for five of them. I don't think they were Ozark brand though now that I think about it. Bought them at Walmart super cheap though.

 

Looked like the bands they use for braces/teeth. Most broke before ever using them. They sat for awhile though. maybe a year or more.

 

If they come with rubberbands (any bait) swap 'em out.

 

It's not the same as the bait in the OP photo, I've never seen those.

I used one and first cast the end unfolded and all the blades and beads fell off leaving me with a spinnerbait with only a jighead and a wire.
