Favorite spinnerbait weight? 2024


fishing user avatarMunkin reply : 

What weight does everyone use? I am guessing that 3/8 and 1/2 are the two most popular sizes but wanted to ask.

Allen


fishing user avatarJake. reply : 

1/4 oz.


fishing user avatarEvan Pease reply : 

Id have to say 3/8 but the 1/4 is close.

1/4 to 3/4 for me.

same as Catt, 1/2 oz. only

My daughter does use the 1/8 oz.(I think thats right) Pond Magic spinners.


fishing user avatarBrad_Coovert reply : 

I use spinnerbaits from 1/8 oz. up to 1 oz. depending on the need and they are ALL needed at some time during the year.

fishing user avatarSJex reply : 

3/8 oz. and 1/2 oz.


fishing user avatarVyron reply : 

5/8 oz is the ideal for me


fishing user avatarjdw174 reply : 

99% of the time it will be a 1/2oz.  The rest of the time, 3/8.


fishing user avatardetroit1 reply : 

I too have a time and place for 1/8 to 1 oz., and will use all sizes sometime throughout the season. The size i use most is a 1/4 oz. frame with a 1/4 oz rubbercore sinker clamped on behind the pearl blue glimmer skirt.


fishing user avatarMunkin reply : 

The reason I ask is I am having a custom head spun and cannot choose a weight? I too fish spinnerbaits from 1/8-1oz but at $125+ per size molds would get really expensive. Most of the time I am using a 3/8 or 1/2oz depending on different situations. If I can' t soon guess I will just go with 7/16oz and call it a day.

fishing user avatarflippin reply : 

1/4-1oz depending on where im fishing


fishing user avatarsal669 reply : 

Mostly 1/4 and 3/8 oz, but depending on situation i'll go down to 1/8 and up to 1/2. If I want to go deeper, I'll put a smaller blade on a 1/2 oz SB.


fishing user avatarba7ss3in reply : 

1/2 oz


fishing user avatarWillzx225 reply : 

I use a 1/2oz. 90% of the time, unless it is the Fall.  In the Fall I will use a small spinnerbait to mimic the smaller baitfish.  Usually a 1/4oz or a 3/8 oz.


fishing user avatarSBM-RL reply : 

I ussually fish 1/4 3/8 or 1/2 but recently found some 3/4 and I'm in search for some 1 oz


fishing user avataralger319 reply : 

3/8oz mostly but have a arsenal of 1/4oz through 1 1/4 oz.


fishing user avatarF15HGuy reply : 

3/8 to 1/2 oz.  I try to keep all my different color and blade combos in both weights.


fishing user avatarJoel W reply : 

90% of my spinnerbait fishing is done with 3/8 oz wt size.


fishing user avatarBlack Bass reply : 

1/4 to 1/2. Considering a few 3/4 to 1 oz.


fishing user avatarfishfordollars reply : 

1/2 oz.


fishing user avatarRoLo reply : 

The 3/8 oz whirligig wears all hats.

With the rod-tip held high, the 3/8 oz spinner can be fished like 1/4 oz;

with the rod-tip held low to the water it tracks similar to 1/2 oz.

In situations where 1 oz might be needed, the spinnerbait is fired.

Roger


fishing user avatarww2farmer reply : 

1/4 and 3/8 are the sizes I use most, but have quite a few 3/16 and 1/2 oz'ers as well.


fishing user avatarSiebert Outdoors reply : 

I'm going with the 3/8.  Ive caught more fish and my biggest fish on these.  Reason is just like Rolo said.

Although I do fish 1 ozers on deep points but that isnt as often as a 3/8


fishing user avatarShadcranker reply : 

3/8 for object fishing up river (pitching along rocks and wood)

1/2 and 3/4 for slow rolling deeper

1 oz for Summer time ledge fishing on KY and Barkley

That said, I probably use a 3/8 oz mostof the time.
