I searched my memory but I think I just caught my first spinnerbait bass today.

Started at 7:30, finally got one at 1 pm  as I was lifting the lure out of the water haha. I went and found some stained water at the advice of @Captain Phil, which was ironically in the back of the creek my dock is in. Main channel, where I’ve been going, is blue water. Then I was working a rocky point with no love. Tossed a worm and got 2 back to back…….. Such is life 

 

of the 7 spinnerbait fish I’ve caught in my life, 4 or 5 have come on this one.

don’t know where I got it or what it’s called.

You wanna sell those things? I’m definitely interested if they’re the older T1’s.

They are certainly the older Terminators, like ones pre 2010 I would imagine.     I'd say they are only about 5-6 of those, then other types.    Might as well sell the whole binder lol ?

 

If I let them go, they got your name on them.

@TnRiver46 when I went fishing this past Sat, I threw a spinnerbait maybe 80% of the time. I came upon a pond that was beside the river I wanted to fish and noticed some great big fish jumping so of course I had to stay. It was dingy water and I only packed my river lures with me. I saw a fish swirl and miss my spinnerbait completely. So I spend forever throwing SBs, and then I spend the last 20% of my trip fishing the river with a shaky head and I catch a fish. So I skunked on SBs that day. I felt like you ?

 

Also Im undecided on whether I want to continue fishing. My shoulder is giving me mixed feedback.

I did that last night, and hundreds upon hundreds of previous times in my life. Thew a spinner bait for 2.5 hours, nothing. Picked up a worm for 10 minutes caught 3 

 

And I’ve got back spasms, get out of my head hahahah

I’m noticing a trend. Spinnerbaits seems to excel for members fishing shallow water with lots of weeds. 

Yep .

Man, there is one reservoir out here in particular it is an all time deadly producer for me. Fallen out of favor there with me the last couple years for an Underspin, but it historically has just been killer. Works at other places too. 

 

The key for using a Spinnerbait for me it the presence of Shad and stick-ups with the Bass foraging on the Shad against the bank. Better yet if they are pinning and crashing against them. Toss the bait upon the bank, run it through the stick ups and BAM, hold on! Of course they work well in many other presentations and other baits would work well in this situation as well too.
