Your Favorite SB, Sbaits or SB Manufacturer 2024
TxHawgs reply :
There is a ton of Spinnerbaits and Spinnerbait manufacturers on the market. It's very expensive, time consuming ect. to weed through the mass array of them to find the ones that really fill the livewell. With that being said which manufacturer, spinnerbait or spinnerbaits are your favorite? Thanks guys!
bigturtle reply :
I currently make my own, as i stopped buying them to save some money. When I did buy them however, Booyah was my go-to brand, with the occasional strike king rocket shads here and there.

War eagle specifically the finesse line.

Strike king, bought a bunch at good prices at Wally World and I guess I don't toss them enough to force me to put the on a TW order for more or other brands. I have had the most luck with the bleeding bait line.
roadwarrior reply :
Our very own Glenn May hooked up with the biggest largemouth I have ever seen in person on a BassResource RoadTrip at Pickwick. The fish was fooled by a Siebert Outdoors Cosmic Spinnerbait, white with double willow silver blades. The lure itself is indestructable, but you still need to check your line and retie occasionally.

Secret Weapon Lure spinnerbaits are my favorite and has one of the highest ratings ever on tackle tour product review.
smalljaw67 reply :
I make my own, from cutting and bending the wire forms to pouring and painting the heads to final assembly, that way I can make them in multiple configurations. If I was to buy a spinnerbait, Stanley wedge is what I would get with War Eagle being a close second.

Bigturtle, I always like to find out what my brother tackle makers are using for their baits and so I have to ask. What brand and size wire do you use and do you get it in straight shaft or torsion straightened on a coil? I'm currently looking for other wire brands and types as I'm having trouble with certain wire anymore.
Damn Yankee reply :
For thin wire I like Mann's Hank Parker 3/4oz.Booyah hotwire 1/2 oz.
Thick wire I like Northlands Reed runner 1/2oz.

Yes sir. I find them on sale and buy them out... Otherwise it's war eagle for me.

Raul reply :
I have been fishing Strike King spinnerbaits for more than 2 decades, actually I fish pretty much with those spinnerbaits I purchased 2 decades ago only with new skirts and honed razor sharp hook.
Senko lover reply :
Between Strike King and War Eagle you don't need any others lol

Not sure why it's quoting this post, does it often to me. But just wanted to post that I must have 50 if not more Strike King spinnerbaits but never catch anything on them. I have many others also but lookin to buy more and wanted to see what u guys r fishin. The War Eagle, Revenge, Picasso, Stanley and R2S Ish spinnerbaits are top quality and some of the others I own. Maybe it's me but fishin for 44yrs and try all kinds of different retrieves in overcast windy conditions and just don't catch many if any at all on the spinnerbait. Having the same problem w chatterbaits, just don't get it. Anyway I'm gonna sell off a bunch of these SK spinnerbaits and put the money towards new baits.

I wish I could go as technical as you want me to, but I simply buy ready made spinnerbait heads and attach blades and skirt to them since I dont have a place to safely pour lead 
. I use 0.035" wire for all my spinnerbaits up to 1/2oz. As I buy them ready made, I have no clue what brand they are. I dont use/lose spinnerbaits heavier than 1/2oz often enough to warrant making them.
Oklahoma Mike reply :
War Eagle, Booyah, and Terminator are what I typically throw. But I also bought a few of the $1 ones that Walmart had last year and probably caught just as many fish on those as I did any of my other, more expensive ones.

I'm sorry, but if you aren't catching anything on spinnerbaits, getting rid of the ones you have and replacing them isn't going to help. The problem is not the baits........

Me too but I bought them when the were cheap. About 4 yrs ago BPS was selling them for $2 each. Bought a ton and still got alot in the original package.

After checking my stash I realized I actually paid $3 a piece. And as the kids say, pics or it didn't happen so....
Mosster47 reply :
For specialty colors and blades I fish Revenge. For my normal white, chart, and black I buy the cheapest ones I can find. The ones just hanging on the rack with no packaging at Sportman's Warehouse are the bulk of what I have. I actually prefer the action of the cheaper ones with light wire. They roll side to side a little even when tuned which creates a more erratic retrieve.
With way I mod mine buying a bunch of expensive ones wouldn't make sense.

Have to agree Scott. Spinnerbaits are about angles, cast placement, and splash control.
If you're just tossing a spinnerbait around with no control or purpose you've got about a three week period a year on any lake to be successful. The rest of the year is technique.

My first reaction too.
What we often forget is the 'secret ingredient' to all artificial baits is confidence.
It's amazing how truly believing in your lure and presentation will make the bass come running to you.
I find that women are the same way. 
Catt reply :
The appeal of a spinnerbaits to bass is flash & vibration!
Until you have thrown Stanley Spinnerbaits you have not experienced flash & vibration!

That's cheap considering some of their models sell for what 7 or more dollars.

Keep in mind that most are T-2's. I'm not sure what the difference is but they all work for me. And I got a lifetime supply.
Bluebasser86 reply :
War Eagle makes pretty much any spinnerbait I'll ever need.
Bankbeater reply :
I have used BPS, War Eagle, Strike King, and a lot of others that I can't remember. They all will catch bass, but the biggest difference is in how they hold up over time.

Same here I use to buy expensive sb but started catching alot of snake heads on them so I switched to the walmart $1 sb and still catch a lot of bass with them.One good size snake head will destroy the $1 sb but bass on avg I can get about 6-8 bass on $1 sb I love them!!!
$1 sb yesterday had a few like this one yesterday

What do you do with the snakeheads? I heard they are invasive species, so do you dispatch them forthright? If you do what method do you use? Baseball bat to the back of the head, slit its throat, shotgun?
Evan K reply :
War Eagle, Terminator, and I have been so impressed with Siebert jigs that I will probably be getting some spinnerbaits from them when I lose or break a couple existing ones.

Ok, I got you, you build your own, not make you own, it sounds like it isn't much of a difference but there is. You have no control of wire choice or placement or hook choice or anything like that. I got into making my own because I was buying blades and skirt material and I still had to buy spinnerbaits so if I was buying all that stuff, why not just go right from scratch and pour my own heads and bend my own wire and get it exactly the way I want, but building them is what led to me making them, like I said before, it sounds close but in reality building and making are 2 different things.
