War Eagle Spinnerbaits

[STK001]

I absolutely love War Eagle Spinnerbaits. I haven't found a more productive spinnerbait yet. I know they designed it to flex a bit more than most to add vibration but the wires bend up so easily and eventually break. A fish broke one of mine the other day. Now I remember last fall when I was paying around 4.00 at Sportsmans Warehouse. Okay, they catch fish, no biggie....but now they are frickin' 7.00 a piece at Gander Mtn. SW closed here sadly.  What happened to drive the price up so much? Even BPS is asking 6.29...Anyone know what happened here? Walmart has a few off colors and off sizes for around 5.70 but not what I need...

Still worth every penny in my mind. I will take the tag line from the palomar and tie it to the band around the skirt to avoid loosing fish if they ever break on one. Has saved me a couple times. It sucks having to deal with the pike up here, 4/5 good pike and the bait is trashed.

I bought a couple last year and refuse to buy any other brand now.

I buy terminator quite often and seem to do well on them. In fact, last tournament I out fished a guy in the front of the boat with a Terminator while he used a War Eagle. I caught 4 on a spinnerbait, he caught 0.

But the thing I like most about the spinnerbaits is the name....

WAR d**n EAGLE

Good info guys, I appreciate it.

I can imagine that a pike would thrash that bait after what I've seen the bass do to it.

It's funny, I caught a big cat the other evening and I thought , oh no..it's done..but it didn;t even put a bend in it. I was still mad that it was catfish though!

As far as Terminator goes that was pretty much the only spinnerbait I would buy for a long time and they always produced. Last Thursday at Smith Mtn(my home lake) I was catching quite a few fish on my last War Eagle and it finally broke on a fish...I was crushed. I did get the blades back...took a terminator and added the War Eagle blades but It made no difference. I got one short strike and nothing after that.

I bought more War Eagles at 7.00 a piece and have been catching fish ever since...I'm not throwing my Terminators out just yet though

Good fishing everyone!

The Screaming Eagles are great. War Eagle is the only brand I'll throw and are worth the extra penny

I have had good luck with the War Eagles but lately I have had great success with the Booyah Vibra Flex in the double willow.

I used all types for a couple years. I just gave away a bunch of the other brands to the kids in the neighborhood the other day.

For at least the last 5 years it has been all War Eagle's. IMO they are the best! My Dad saw them in my boat and recognized them and said they were the best 30+ years ago too.

I have good results from the War Eagle Spot Remover.  Around my area they are/were 4.95 at Walmart.
