Whats Your Favorite Spinnerbait? 2024
mattk22 reply :
What is your favorite spinnerbait and why? Also, what colors do you prefer to use? I have just gotten into using spinnerbaits more and have been hunting for a quality spinnerbait.
Highhawk1948 reply :
The old "Vibra-shaft" spinner bait, because it makes me fish it slower.
mattk22 reply :
I was looking at Ko-Man-Chi, Terminator, Northstar, Strike King, or RMC. The RMC and Ko-Man-Chi are pretty expensive, the Northstar looks really nice. I like some of the Strike King Pro series ones too. There are so many out there to choose from, any opinions are great.
ww2farmer reply :
I like Strike King.........big suprise, lol. Specificly, the tour grade painted blade, and KVD's that are BPS exclusive.
BenBassmaster reply :
I'm a big spinnerbait fisherman myself, so I have used a lot of brands. Strike King, Booyah (Pond Magic), NorthStars, and I think the other brand is the MegaStrike spinnerbaits. I have to many to name haha. I like Chartruesse, White Chartruesse, Black and Red, black and Blue just to name a few colors.
Hope this helps!
retiredbosn reply :
Without a doubt my favorite is the Pro Clacker II (pic attached), I also use Booyah, and Strike King. Color depends on forage and water clarity and also how much sunlight or if its at night, black /blue, Chartruese and white, white and blue, white, chartruse, sometimes no skirt at all but will put on a Zoom Swimming Fluke
Bluebasser86 reply :
War Eagle and War Eagle Finesse. Either in mouse or spot remover colors. If I'm fishing dingy water I like a white or chartruese and white Booyah.
Hooligan reply :
I fish exclusively Northstar spinnerbaits for a few reasons, anymore. They're durable, they're weighted right, and they have superior components to almost all others on the market currently. Lastly, they flat catch fish. When it comes to balance on a spinnerbait, it's everything; Northstars are balanced perfectly for a vertical fall or for a glide on a slow drop. They also don't tip the hook one direction or the other when you're walking them up or down structure. They're superb for fishing drops and ledges, as well as having flexible and sturdy enough wire to fish them in heavy wood and grass.
As far as colors go, the vast majority of my spinnerbait fishing is a 3/4 ounce Willow/willow Gold/gold in New Gill or Bull Gill. Those two colors account for probably 85% of my spinnerbait fish, and have won some substantial team and solo tournaments. On lakes like Table Rock and Bull Shoals, I've done extremely well on a 1/4 and half ounce bait in Smokey purple shad, but those are very specific instances, in which I am presenting them in very specific methods.
shootermcbob reply :
I like the booyah spinnerbaits in the 3/4 ounce size. I usually get them at cabelas and they are 4.99, making them the least expensive I have found. I then change up the blades at my discretion.
I also use the strike king KVD painted blade models.
Forgot to add...strikezone master blaster hidden weight spinnerbaits...very nice with double willow blades that are hammered with edges scalloped?
scaleface reply :
I have never had a spinnerbait that stood out above the rest. I have had some that were not very good. I like my spinnerbaits compact. A lot of them have wire arms that are too long , like the 3 packs at WalMart. A local Store sells some good baits with ball bearing swivels, quality skirt, good paint jobs on the head for a dollar fifty.They work real well. The Strike King Spin Dance is a good lure.
piscicidal reply :
I think my favorite right now is the war eagle. They cast really well, have good hooks/components, and the finish is reasonably durable.
I have many different brands and frankly they all catch fish. For me, castability is what differentiates what gets used and what doesnt. I hate spinnerbaits that helicopter on the cast. This is a technique that usually requires accuracy. That war eagle casts like a bullet, right on target.
To be fair, I haven't tried all the spinnerbaits out there. My opinion today is subject to change.
deaknh03 reply :
The lazer eye from BPS is a pretty good spinner for the money.
Quillback reply :
War Eagle makes a great SB, and I like Northstar also because you can build your own bait (choose blades, weight, color). I would like to see Northstar add paineted blades as an option (hint, hint). 
Vinny Chase reply :
NorthStar spinnerbaits IMO are the best on the market because of the durability, color selection, and innovation. The hidden weight gives you a smaller head profile which helps the spinnerbait come through cover better than other options.
NorthStar also has a triple blade spinnerbait that you can find on TW that gives the bass a very unique look; the blades counter-rotate when you kill the bait and that creates some aggressive strikes!

war eagle
Dwight Hottle reply :
I like the Northstar hidden heads. Quality product at a fair price. And I caught my pb largemouth on one. I like white on white blades. White/chartreuse on silver & gold blades.
Ima Bass Ninja reply :
I use mostly SK brand. I really like the razor series. I also have some terminator that have been successful for me in the past. The one ko-man-chi spinnerbait I have is very well constructed with quality components but I haven't given it the water time it deserves.
rad07h reply :
I love terminator spinnerbaits although they are a bit pricey. I have also tore them up on the cheap $1 spinnerbaits your can buy at the store that dont even come in a package.

I bought some small Terminators two years ago and they were the worse spinnerbaits I ever had. They would not run upright. They would actually spin around.The blades were to heavy for the head.Other Terminators I use work perfectly. I robbed them of their components and threw the bodies away.
Primus reply :
The tandem S.O.B.Mini Me is my favorite, best color for is the TJ Special.
11justin22 reply :
War eagle first and foremost ( also their customer service is outstanding). After that would be terminator and strike king
Bankbeater reply :
I use the BPS spinnerbaits. White / Chart, or just plain white are the two best colors around here.
5fishlimit reply :
I was a Booyah guy until I picked up a War Eagle by suggestion from my local tackle shop. I'm all over their copper colors at the moment with the bubblegum colored skirt bringing me the best results to date. I also have done well with the Terminator T1 line in bluegill and perch pattern.
bowhunter63 reply :
Strike King and BPS always worked well for me.
BirdNestBen reply :
Wow can't wait to try the Northstar spinnerbait.. never even heard of it before.. sounds good...
I hate to say it but chatterbait is awful good... the reason I say it is the tear up easy and you miss a ton of strikes, if you don't put on a trailer hook.... chart white is a great color.... in the 1/4 oz. size...
Check the ads at BPS all the time.. I remember I think it was last year they had the terminators one day for $2 apiece and they are a fantastic spinnerbait...
An older spinnerbait at BPS, which is pricey is the Tornado.... it flat out catches fish... I'm an econo spender on lures and if I'll pay 5.99 or 6.99 for one it's great.... I like CHart. pepper color in 3/8 oz.
My friend is sold on War eagle, although I've never tried one... He's caught a ton of fish on them... good luck.
TNBassin' reply :
Picked up a booyah the other day and was surprised how good it is.

Cosmic Spinnerbait from Siebert Outdoors: http://www.siebertoutdoors.com/index.php/cosmic-spinnerbait
I have ordered custom builds with 1) twin silver willow blades and 2) silver on top/ gold on the bottom.
Regardless of the brand you chose, I suggest replacig the skirt with LumaFlex: http://store.jobabylures.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=J&Category_Code=SKL
Kcoyote11 reply :
I love the spinnerbait bite. I have use most all of them and was a big terminator guy. Caught a lot of fish on them but the price kept increasing. So I went to Booyah. It catches as many fish as any other spinnerbait I have fished and the price is reasonable. I perfer the 1/4oz chartruese/white most of the time. In clear water or mid summer I will go to the white 1/4oz. Gold willow and chrome colorado blade.
detroit1 reply :
I love spinnerbaits. Bass and pike love them too. For the last dozen years or so i assemble my own. My favorite is a 1/4 oz. head/frame with a 1/4 oz. rubbercore sinker mashed on the hook after some variation of white skirt was put on. A size 3.5 and 4.0 gold willows and sampo swivel, and a trailer hook, and just add water. I prefer the head not to be painted....
Fontana Finesse Man reply :
Tru Trac Custom and Fat Ratz Custom. Blue Glimmer and Firecracker are the two colors I love.
I also use some hawg caller multi blade spinnerbaits on occasion.
SirSnookalot reply :
I catch the same number of fish with any brand, I buy the one's for a buck, I've got more of them and a variety of colors. They won't last as long, but I can buy as many as I want.
dday07 reply :
Don't use spinnerbaits too much here in soCal...but when i visit my friend on the Coosa in Alabama...i use them alot.....i had more success on the $1.00 wal-mart spinners than my $5.00 plus ones i had brought with me.On 11/18/2012 at 4:21 PM, SirSnookalot said:I catch the same number of fish with any brand, I buy the one's for a buck, I've got more of them and a variety of colors.

I have lost a few Ledgebusters fishing deep, but only one spinnerbait under "normal" conditions.
How do you lose spinnerbaits?
1234567 reply :
Which spiinnerbait on the market would take the abuse fish after fish, Terminator T2's??? I've been using revenge and so far so good but have not caught multiple fish on one single one yet.
tugsandpulls reply :
i shore fish so i loose some in the trees and some on logs some in weeds some making crazy cast some to pike some on docks
roadwarrior reply :
Me too, but I usually free them walking down below the hang.
tugsandpulls reply :
so you dont loose any??? the places i throw im sure you would
cbreeze22 reply :
I use the $ 1.25 s/baits fishing for pike from the shore. Usually loose 4 or 5 a day throwing into weeds/rocks. I like to bump them slowly on the bottom. I free a heck of a lot of them walking from left or right down shore but some flat don't come loose. Will use some of my medium priced spinnerbaits when fishing in the boat.
bass1980 reply :
My go to spinner bait is a KVD white bleeding one, has some red splash in the color. What I do is I add a white fluke as a trailer. My buddies wasn't laughing for long after that setup caught many bass.
The only problem is that Northerns seems to like it more than bass lol.
Diggy reply :
I like whats on clearance (usually strike king premium or burners) or walmart 1.00 spinner baits because they are cheap and work well
mattk22 reply :
I just bought a bunch from Northstar, so we will see how they compare to my Strike King, Terminators, and Booyah's.
Scorcher214 reply :
To anybody wondering if the ko man chi spinnerbaits are worth it? Yes yes they are. The maker of them contacted me and had some that were not painted and were an earlier model. Sold several of them to me for 7 bucks each. WELL WORTH IT. With the pike population in st clair, they jack my spinnerbaits up, always mangling them, then I gotta spend a minute re tuning them. They don't turn over at all, and they last. For somebody like me, where the spinnerbait is their favorite lure. I highly recommend buying at least one and trying it out. Other than those, always safe to go with strike king.
bronzebackhuntr reply :
I'm a big fan of Hoppys and Hawg Callers for regular spinnerbaits. For a night time blade I like some that are made here locally in southwest va by Neal's custom lures.
Diggy reply :
I had a bass break my strike king burner right off today. I will probably refrain from buying those again unless on clearance. I got the blades back and a piece of the wire where the knot was.
I guess walmart will remain the king of the cheapies for me
Either way I must fish spinner baits longer than I usually do. I caught a total of 20 fish on them walking the neighborhood lake.
TNBassin' reply :
Email Strike King and they will take care of you. I had 2 red eye shad that were split down the middle and they hooked me up big time.On 11/24/2012 at 9:14 AM, Diggy said:I had a bass break my strike king burner right off today.

Thanks, Ill see what they say. The fish has the other half of the bait if they need it back.
Blair Bassin' reply :
Molix, their spinnerbaits have a different side to side action and wobble, that I have confidence in. My favorite color is the ayu

Just received these from Siebert Outdoors:

Jake P reply :
his problem was not a manufacturer defect. Strike king can't control what a fish does to a lure in the water. If anything it should show that the bait performed up to par since the fish decided to destroy it lol.On 11/25/2012 at 9:46 AM, TNBassin said:Email Strike King and they will take care of you.

They really do take care of real problems though. Sent them back 2 defective squarebills and they hooked me up with 5!
Bass Junkie reply :
Terminator Titanium. I have yet to find something close to these baits. Skirts are very nice, and easy to wire-tie, blades are good, and they run true every time you tie one on.
