fishing user avatarHeron reply : 

The lines are getting blurred for me.  Not noticing too much difference in the water from one maker to the next.

 

But I am liking Booyah, Stanley, and War Eagle brand.

 

Maybe I'll just start making my own. 


fishing user avatarCatch and Grease reply : 

I like those booyahh vibraflex spinner baits... I haven't tried a whole lot of brand though.


fishing user avatarABW reply : 

I like Booyah, but I'm looking to try some Pepper Customs and some Revenge Spinners.

I have two Revenge double willows in the Bluegill and Golden Shiner colors.  Great looking baits, run nicely in the water, and seem to be made of respectable quality.  Just havent caught anything with them yet.

Nothin but War Eagles for me...and believe me, I have tried them all!

fishing user avatarFish2FISH reply : 

The Sniper, It's a fantastic bait for all types of situations.


fishing user avatarTheSmilingSwordsman reply : 

Dang it! This reminds me that I meant to order a Siebert spinner with my most recent order. Oh well.

I don't fish spinners very often. Of the ones I have tried I have had the most success with Stanley and Strike King. I haven't yet tried War Eagle or any custom jobs yet. Maybe I'll try to pick some up soon for my fall fishing.


fishing user avatarbuzzed bait reply : 

i'm half war eagles and half terminator titaniums...

i have about the same luck with both.  i just really like those skirts on the terminator's, they pretty much transfer over to any jighead application 


fishing user avatarGrizzn N Bassin reply :

just quality of the material they use examples  wire , hooks, skirts, bands around the skirts, swivels..the wal mart brand really crapy everything imo.  but the others like river 2sea, strike king, booyah, war eagle, revenge all have good products.  sebile finesse pro is a nice spinner.  i don't find any difference in those brands i listed they all catch fish . 


fishing user avatarbmlum415 reply :

Well  I guess it all depends how you are going to use the spinnerbait. If you just cast it out and retrieve it straight back then there is probably less difference between spinnerbaits than if you bounce it off cover, drop it, slow roll it, etc.

 

What I look for in a spinnerbait are the following:

1). a good (preferably US made) ball bearing swivel

2). a long shank hook

3). a somewhat flexible wire frame

4). a twisted loop (more durable than an R bend). If it has an R bend then I reenforce the bend with fly tying thread

5). a wire tied skirt (if it doesn't have that then do it yourself with wire)

 

Brands I have used with success include Mann's Classic (Hank Parker) spinnerbait (some QC issues), Strike King (some ball bearings are sticky) and Booyah. I use the Booyah most often because they work and are consistant from bait to bait. The Top Secret spinnerbaits they make for Dick's are a great value. They lend themselves well to customization.

 

If you make your own, then you can tailor make them to how you fish them. You eliminate compromises by making your own. Besides its fun!


fishing user avatarrangerjockey reply : 

War Eagle.. in particular the screamin' eagle.

Siebert's 1/2oz Cosmic Double Willow (bluegill)

owner hook, powder coated head, quality silicone and swivel / blades


fishing user avatarbuzzed bait reply : 

Not a big collection, but this is my half war eagle/half terminator stash....  extra terminator quick change skirts are in the little plastic baggy.

 


fishing user avatarFlipSide reply : 

Ive got a few of most mainstream brands.

 

The one Ive caught the most fish on is a Hart Bleeding Hart spinnerbait.


fishing user avatarPersicoTrotaVA reply : 

I used to like Booyah a lot but stopped using them after some issues that were not model specific.  I still have some Strike King ones that are my favorite to fish with, but lately I have been in love with Revenge spinnerbaits, love the bluegill colors.

I look for the same in a spinnerbait.  Except for the wire-tied skirt.   I have not encountered any need thus far, for a skirt to be wire tied.  Most spinnerbaits I find, and their components, are made and assembled fairly well to my satisfaction. 

 

Which brings me back to the point of this topic.  The lines are blurred, or rather, most everyone makes a quality spinnerbait.  So, you really cant go wrong from one maker to the next. So then from there, it just comes down to personal preference.

 Confidence in the spinnerbait you are using is key. Some manufactorers only make double willow or tandem willow (willow-colorado blade) spinnerbaits. So if you want a double colorado or a single bladed spinnerbait you might have to get out the wire cutters or the split ring pliers. I continually tinker and "improve" them (usually until they don't work any more). Smalljaw has lots of great posts on constructing spinnerbaits that you can also use to modify them if you feel the need or desire to do so.

Freedom tackle is my favourite, war eagle, booyah and strike king are pretty good too.

Another good reason to start making my own.  Been snooping around on Lurepartsonline.com and that is adding some good motivation.

Good choice, you will then get them exactly like you want them. Its very satisfying to catch fish on a lure you made. Its sort of like fly tying. Have fun!


fishing user avatarmissouribigbass reply : 

Booyah or terminator


fishing user avatarBobby Uhrig reply :

Does this apply to all your spinnerbaits? If so, I have one you can buy back from me.


fishing user avatarBadBassWV reply : 

I had a couple of BPS brand and Megastrikes in a small spinnerbait box. After fishing them I noticed the Blades were rusted on the BPS. And there was rust on the Megastrike, to be fair I think the rust on the Mega strikes were from the cheap BPS.. I've got 3 compact spinnerbaits coming from Seibert, I think I will fish exclusively the Seiberts from now on.

Thanks Mike for a great product.
