JohnMac Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 After watching the classic for the past three days the baitmonkey came back after I realized that my spinnerbait collection and my jig collection are very poor. What spinnerbaits and jigs do u guys used for stained water? Quote
Bass-1 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I'm a "hugh" fan of spinnerbaits. It's not a color question with stained water, but vibration. The darker the water, the slower you want your bait to be moving to keep it in the strike-zone longer, and also cover. I love to throw big, gold #8 Indiana blades in stained water on 1/2 -3/4 oz. spinnerbaits. It''s quite enough not to spook them, but it also lets them know "something" is there and need to be looked at. I use smelly jelly as a deal maker and a 3/0 "red" trailer hook for when it gets close. As far as jigs, I love a big jig with rattles worked slow through the worst tangles and mess you can find. If your not getting hung up and loosing a few, your not fishing in the right places... I hope this helps you out... Quote
Blade-Runner Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 95% of my spinnerbait fishing is done with a War Eagle Screamin' Eagle. It is my favorite spinnerbait and functions well in a variety of fishing situations. Works the entire water column well. I will use other versions as conditions dictate. One of my favorites (that I'm down to only 2 of) is the old Ledgebuster spinnerbait. I have an 1.5 oz. and a 1 oz. These work great in stained water in the 15-25 ft. zone, especially when you're tired of slinging DD-22's and Fat Free Shads all late-spring/summer long. Quote
jimmieO Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I have become a big fan of strike king's premiers spinnerbaits (about 6 bucks...). They come with a trailer hook and a portion of the skirt is a bit longer so you don't need a trailer. As far as jigs, I have fallen in love with the original rattlebacks. Good looking colors and the rattles are positioned so that you can get a trailer on without totally screwing it up. Quote
YJsmitty Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 My favorite spinnerbait is the terminator t-1. There a little on the expensive side but they run true and catch fish. Favorite flipping jig by far is the Lunker lure orginal rattleback. Can't beat it. Quote
