Spinner bait 2024

grayfox0327 reply :

Im about to buy 2 o 3 max spinner bait targeting smallmouth, largemouth and white bass, but i never used a spinner so i don't know, considering tha i will only buy 3 max wich colors are the best to choose, i normally go fishing after 5 pm and sometimes i stay fishing till midnight.

By the way i fish in Amistad reservoir or Amistad Lake in Del Rio, Texas.

Thanks

The Patriot reply :

I'm no expert, nor do I even have any confidence in spinnerbaits as I dont use them a whole lot. That being said if I were to go buy three spinner baits, I'd buy one green pumpkin, one white/chartreuse, one black/blue or another green pumpkin with a different variation of color...maybe some orange in it. As far as blades go, one will produce more vibration than the other. I only own two spinner baits and they're both gold, one has two willow blades, the other has a willow blade and a smaller colorado blade.

I'll be watching this thread though for more responses because this is one lure I really want to better incorporate this year.

DavidIsWinning reply :

I don't use spinnerbaits as often as I should, but when I do I usually throw it when white/chartreuse color combo works the best. I always have some sort of a white trailer and a trailer hook as well.

Not much to go off of, but I hope it helps.

Dtrombly reply :

Spinnerbaits to me are a stained/dirty water only technique. With that being said I pretty much only throw white and chartreuse, blade combo depending on water clarity. The dirtier the water the more likely I will throw double Colorado blades opposed to willow leaf blades, as they produce more "thump". Best times to use a spinnerbait is overcast conditions with some wind. Target cover like laydowns, dock pilings, weed edges, rip rap banks, points. Adding a trailer hook with help with short strikes. As far as equipment goes I use a 7' Medium heavy/moderate fast action casting rod, a 6.4:1 gear ratio reel and 15lb fluorocarbon. 90% of the time I'm out I have a spinnerbait rod with me, they just flat out catch fish.

For White Bass I choose Strike King Rocket Shads . If you do go that route wrap a little wire around the double hook because I've had two or three come off during the fight .

Or what I do is remove the double hook and put a Gamakatsu size 1 open eye siwash hook on and clamp it shut with pliers. I feel it works better than the stock double hook.

I'll try that . I dont like the double hooks but they are good lures .

Catt reply :

Stanley Vibra-Wedge

Designed to deliver maximum thump and vibration, the Stanley Vibra-Wedge Spinnerbait produces more water displacement than any other spinnerbait on the market. Featuring two of Stanley’s most innovative designs - Vibrashaft wire and Wedge blades - the Wedge blades are specially designed and taper in thickness, allowing them to emit the thump of a Colorado-blade, as well as, the flash of a standard willow blade.

For all around setup I prefer double gold willow leaf & skirts of white, chartreuse, or any combination there of!

I agree, those Rocket Shads are nice little finesse spinnerbaits!

Thanks to all, the informations was really helpful

curtis9 reply :

I always have a spinnerbait tied on. I typically use either a white/chartreuse or a black/blue with 1 willow and 1 Colorado blade. The majority of my good fish this year have been on spinnerbaits.

Jigfishn10 reply :

Some good advice above.

Good rule of thumb would be:

Low Light Conditions/Stained Water: Darker colors and more vibration - Colorado Blade

High Light/Clear Water: Lighter more natural colors and less vibration - Willow Blade

Windy Conditions. Clear Water with a lot of chop: White Color/Double Willow Blades fished into the wind

Never hurts to add a trailer or trailer hook or both

Good luck @grayfox0327, let us know how you make out.

Cody21w reply :

3/8 double willow either War Eagle or Siebert Outdoors. White with accents is best color. Throw regardless of conditions, and Reel fast enough where blades are 1 to 5 inches beneath surface. Spinnerbait is my favorite bait.

grayfox0327 reply :

Thanks for all your comments, i´ll try that today

basseditor reply :

I fish Amistad a lot too. It seems spinner baits are most effective in the spring. You can't go wrong with white/chartreuse.

Jaderose reply :

I always throw out a plug for the good ol' H&H Spinner baits when there is a post about them. They are VEEERRRRY cheap and they flat catch fish. The best thing about them...especially when you are on a tight budget...is that you can throw them fearlessly without worrying about losing them. Buy 2 or 3 of every color and style and you are still less than 30 bucks down. Just remember to put the hooks on or your hookup rate will be..uh...less than stellar. I wouldn't know, of course......a friend told me.

3/8 Double Colorado blade can be found at Academy for $1.49 or even cheaper on Ebay. They are very old school and have been around forever...because they work.

scaleface reply :

The lures you chose are good but your not going to catch many white bass on them .

YoTone reply :

when its dark i tie on a strike king tour grade night spinner bait and have gotten good results.

also those 1 dollar black colorado spinners at walmart works great too. a bit small at 1/4 oz but its still castable in most situations and catch fish.

Thanks to all of you, the information was really helpful, any extra information is moat welcome.

GrumpyOlPhartte reply :

@The Patriot: I see you're from western MA and in the same predicament as I. I have always stunk up the joint with spinnerbaits until this year. Funny thing is, I've still never caught anything on white and/or chartreuse. Only way I could catch a bass with those colors is to wait until it jumped, then hit 'im in the head with it. This year I did learn I will have success with more natural colors fished on windy days when the lake surface is a little choppy. I won't even bother with spinnerbaits on clear, calm days. (NOTE: I'm the last guy to tell anyone how to fish those things, but I do feel I'm making progress.)

That's a great looking spinnerbait Catt! I use the Jewel Bait Jolt Spinnerbait, mostly night fishing, that thing will loosen your teeth! Have you used the Vibra-Wedge, and how do you like the thump, thanks!

I've known Lonnie for 45 yrs, I started with the Vibra Shaft, Wedge, & Wedge Plus. In my humble opinion there is no spinnerbait marketed that has more thump!

Well sounds like Lonnie made another sale, I will be ordering a few today, thanks for your insight sir!

Boomstick reply :

I find that earlier in the season and also in some shallower water locations, smaller spinnerbaits, a 3/16" or 1/4oz or even occasionally a 1/8oz tend too work pretty well, where 3/8" is your all-around summer spinnerbait for bass.

I tend to buy the white/chartreuse for clearer weather and darker colors for muddier water or larger spinnerbaits that are fished deeper in the water. Not sure if this really makes a huge difference or not but I do find using the proper size for the location seems to make the most difference.

I know GrumpyOlPhartte is from Western MA (I found a prior post where he talks about fishing a lake I fish at too, so maybe roughly the same parts).

Hot Rod Johnson reply :

If you are fishing "CLEAR WATER" the Stanley Vibra-Wedge Spinnerbaits in 1/2 Oz. Ghost Shad Flash, Double Willow Silver/Silver is the ticket for success...

For "STAINED WATER" try a Booyah Blade Single Colorado Spinnerbait in 1/2 Oz. or a 3/4 Oz. with White/Chartreuse Colors... Use a Yum Pulse Swimbait as a trailer 4 1/2" in Pearl White or White... You may need to increase the size of the Colorado Blade to size 5 or 6...

the reel ess reply :

You can go but the whole store or you can "get by" with 2 baits for 3/4 of the year:

3/8 oz white

3/8 ox chartreuse

I'd go with double willow leaf baits because they offer the drag to go slower. I even use these in the winter.

Here's a secret for your 3rd bait: http://www.wareaglelures.com/g05-gold-shiner.html

It's my favorite and has been tied on since early spring. It's a bit pricey, but considering it has basically replaced all others, not a bad deal. It flat catches fish. I ordered two more: One for my buddy and a spare for me.

papajoe222 reply :

With spinnerbaits, I'm a believer in the K.I.S.S. line of thinking. One 1/4oz. ***/8oz. and one 1/2oz. White/Chart, double Colorado blade. Choose a brand, get two pkgs. of skirts, one black or black/blue and one in a craw color. Then get a pkg of willow leaf blades in silver and one in gold.

You now have 18 different spinnerbaits at 1/4 the cost. Just switch out the components and you're good to go.

I mix it around a lot but I do fish Cheshire Lake. I also sometimes fish Onota Lake, among others which I saw that you mentioned in an older post.

GrumpyOlPhartte reply :

@Boomstick: Well, the bad news is that I haven't exactly been killing 'em in either.

The good news is twofold!

1. I left ya lots of fish.

2. Between the two lakes you mentioned I've managed to wash a lot of lures.

Buckley Dutton and Ashmere are next to undergo my vicious assault.

I haven't either. I've caught a lot of small pickerel and bass in Cheshire, they seem to love a small spinnerbait there. In Onota, I got one smallie, but I did see a truly massive trophy bass jump out of the water in front of me. If I didn't get a good look at it, I might have mistook it for a Pike based on its length. I cast to the general area as quick as I could, but it was too late.

Not much luck in Ashmere so far either, but the last time I made it out for more than 30 minutes, the water was 61 degrees which is tough from shore, been really busy the last few weeks.
