Terminator and Stanley are my favs.Strike Kings are ok.I really like their quad.

IMO Booyah are like pieces of fecal material

Brad_Coovert reply :

Most of my spinnerbait use is with Booyahs in 1/4 oz. up through 1 oz.. Never had a problem with a Booyah spinnerbait.

I also like the River2Sea spinnerbaits.

Tokyo Tony reply :

Terminator T-1 spinnerbaits are the best. It's not a matter of opinion

dman reply :

War Eagle

Big Tom reply :

My favorite spinnerbait is the Terminator T-1.

A pretty close second is the Strike King Premier. Not as indestructible as the Terminators but a quality spinnerbait nonetheless.

Dave's Tournament Tackle

Strike King

CWB reply :

Strike King. T-1 good but when is the last time an Elite event or Classic even listed it as one of the baits the top 5 finishers used?

Not biased but with $25,000 on the line that tells me something.

I think I need remedial training or something

I have Strike King and Booyahs and some generic this and that.....

I have in my time caught some great fish on jigs, crank baits, jerk baits, and the multitude of soft plastics....

I have to confess...

I have NEVER caught a fish of any kind on spinner bait :-?

Don't put so much faith into what they "say" is winning tournaments. Pros can win with any bait, but they "choose" to "say" they won with the baits that pay the $.

Besides, the tournament $$ is small change compared to what the elite pros get in contract $$ from sponsors.

iceintheveins reply :

Pepper Hawgs, which are made right here in Grand Junction. Terminator and Nichols are second and third.

zbigbadaaron reply :

boo-yah, and terminators

Michael J reply :

I would agree with most everyone here! Terminator and Booyah!

ww2farmer reply :

Strike King KVD spinnerbaits, and Premier Plus's. In no perticular order, Booyahs are a close second.

I'm sure they say what they a told to say but when you see them landing a fish and unhooking it it becomes clear what they are using and when I get my Bassmaster it usually bears out. Also if you notice, there is a photograher in each pro's boat and a floatilla of boats watching their every move. Wish I got their $$ for endorsements!!!

quant PT reply :

Terminator T-1 is the best hands down.

SQUAREHEAD reply :

Strike King.

Handy reply :

Terminator T-1 gets my vote. But I too do not catch allot of fish on them. I have been throwing them for 5 years(?) and only 4-5 fish caught on them, total. They look like awesome fish catchers to me but in my neck of the woods not so. I catch many more on mepps inline spinners, so I guess that would be my second fav.

Rich K reply :

Strike King, but I modify 'em and even make some of my own using Stamina Lure products.

The fish in my avatar was caught using a modified Strike King we like to call a "thumper".

T-Bone reply :

I can't say that I like one over another, I've caught many fish on many different brands of spinnerbaits. When I go buy a spinnerbait, I don't really look at the brand, I look for the skirt color, size, and blade combination that I need.

I like War Eagle and Terminator's but wanting to try some Longshanks in the future.

Sam reply :

Strike King and War Eagles.

loomis spookwalker reply :

By far Terminator T-1 spinnerbaits are superior to most if not all of the on the rack spinnerbaits out there. From their top quality ball-bearing swivels to the titanium wire they simply catch more fish for me. If Treminator didn't exist I would use Stanley or Boo-Yah. And for the skeptics, I've caught hundreds of fish on Terminator... someone must not know how to fish ?

Jimzee reply :

Terminator T-1 the only one I can't tear up in a matter of a couple hours. I go through other spinnerbaits like crazy, sometimes 6-7 a day.

plastic ninja reply :

I catch more fish with the 99 cent spinnerbaits from walmart. In the event one snags up, I'm only out a dollar bill. The blue/white tandem,chartruse tandem, and black/red single colorado work very well. I bought three or four of those five dollar/war eagle baits and have never got a bite.

bassmaster3000 reply :

i say that the strike king mini king spinnerbait is my favorite. i've caught a lot of fish on it, all 2lbs+, and i also caught my first bass on a spinnerbait on one. I say for best results, get a white one and put a chartruese curly tail on the hook to use with it. thats what i've had my best luck on.

I also say that booyah is another good company. those are also made of really strong material so they done break bery easy. for color i say a plain yellow with a red eye and yellow colorado and willow blades. spinnerbaits are one of my favorite baits to use and i find them really nice to have in the tackle box. Tight lines!!! ;D

My favorite is the Bass Buster Scorpion in 1/4 oz. They were discontinued many years ago but I still have several dozen.

jax reply :

I have been more than happy with my Terminator. $4 from Dicks and I don't have to worry about getting bent out of shape.

I was pond fishing last night on a clear lake. It was misting outside. I was using the white with black highlights skirt. I was catching little 9" bass with every cast. I couldn't find any big bass due to the little bass hitting it so fast.

Micro reply :

Another vote for Terminator and Dave's Tournament Tackle.

Terminator.

but I don't do well with spinnerbaits unless it's pretty windy.

jb_adams reply :

War Eagle.............hands down.

I have become the "spinnerbait kid" these last few years. I almost always have a spinnerbait tied on. If I don't, I'll throw one before the day is over. On days where we don't catch a thing, the spinnerbait is usually the bait that gets a strike or a fish.

I have tried several brands including Strike King Premier Plus, Terminator, Stanley, etc.

I like the Stanley but I have caught more fish with the plain War Eagle spinnerbaits. The Stanley has a shad painted head with eyes. Much more realistic than a chrome head but all I can say is, War Eagle works on any water I have fished.

Since War Eagle is made here in my town and fished on my lake, either the fish are supporting local businesses or they just simply work.

Clear water = Mouse

Stained Water = variations of white or white and chartreuse

Muddy Water = Coleslaw..gotta respect the Coleslaw. It's sold out as fast as it hits the shelves around here.

I've tried all kinds of other colors including natural looking greens, browns, golds, etc. The colors above consistently produce whereas others do not.

That's probably because you fish the Wal-Mart baits 99% of the time. In my experience (and when I started using spinnerbaits I bought a bunch of Wal-Mart ones), the 99 cent baits do not track straight, do not spin properly, and they have a strong latex scent that may or may not have an effect on the fish. Granted, they're only a dollar, but IMO, they do not work nearly as well as name-brand spinnerbaits.

And unless you're fishing heavy stuff from shore, you won't lose many spinnerbaits anyway, so it's worth the investment

I totally agree here.

They may be cheap, but if you are losing spinnerbaits, you must be fishing from the bank. If that's the case, fish t-rigged plastics and that's about it if you want to be conservative on bait costs. The WM skirts are total junk, and anything you are catching are probably not that big. I've caught bass on the cheaper spinnerbaits but I stopped buying them years ago.

If you are fishing from a boat, spend the extra cash and try War Eagle, Stanley, Terminator, Strike King Premier Plus, etc. Spinnerbaits are all basically the same except for color combinations, blade combinations, components, etc. Why do I think War Eagle catches more bass for me? I don't know and I can't explain why but they do. I personally think it's the skirt profile and how it's thinner (less strands) than most. I also think it's the blades combination. I prefer double willow leaf myself.

My bud can throw a spinnerbait of the same type I can throwing. I'll catch a few fish and he won't. I must be retrieving differently than he does. Little differences add up so might as well get quality equipment to help increase your chances.

basser89 reply :

My top two three are are Strike King, Picasso and XCiter (no longer manufactured). My confidence is building with the Rattlehead spinnerbaits!

DADto4 reply :

War Eagle&Terminator...YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

Oh yeah if you want to buy the ones from Walmart that's ok but they will definitely need to be fine tuned and sprayed heavily with some scent
