HockEyes85 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I was wondering if anybody had any advice on which spinnerbaits they use for fishing bluffs and main lake points. Certain times of the year, ther bass will move out to about 25-30 ft. and the only thing they bite is a large spinnerbait. What are your suggestions. Only brand I have heard of is called Ledge buster. -Thanks Adam Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 13, 2007 Super User Posted February 13, 2007 Welcome aboard! The 3/4 or 1 oz Ledgebuster Single Willow Blade would be a good choice. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I just built some 1 oz ledge buster look alikes. 1oz and a #7 blade. going to see how it works this year. Use to use 1oz ledge busters Quote
Randall Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 At that depth I like the 1 1/2 oz Ledgebuster. Quote

Lard_Bass Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I read some of the pros just add some clip on weight to a normal 1/2 oz spinnerbait. Has anyone tried this yet? Sounds like a decent approach if you are in a pinch or do want to waste time tying on a new lure. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted February 14, 2007 Super User Posted February 14, 2007 Lard_Bass, yes I add weight. I use the rubber core sinkers, remove the rubber and them mash the lead on the wire attached to the head. Quote
Papa_Tom Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 If you want LedgeBusters and can't find a shop to buy them, call Jackie Tibbs. 334-616-6959. Also like his jigs. He'll send you a catalog if you wish. Quote
Vyron Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 You can also wrap solder around the hook base to add extra weight. Quote
Triton21 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I like Wareagle 1/2 & 3/4 oz. Kelley Quote
Lard_Bass Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Lard_Bass, yes I add weight. I use the rubber core sinkers, remove the rubber and them mash the lead on the wire attached to the head. That's exactly the tip I read. Another suggestion was to add a splitshot on the same wire. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted February 15, 2007 Super User Posted February 15, 2007 I too use the rubber core sinkers to get spinnerbaits deep. I leave the rubber core in. It makes it easier to get the sinker centered so the bait runs true, and easier to remove. Cheers, GK Quote
