I use the Strike king KVD finesse spinnerbaits. They just work. 
Koz reply :
I use Strike King KVD for the most part as well, but I think that size and color matter more than anything. My last KVD lasted only 25-30 fish before it broke apart.
My 12 year old son goes through a lot of tackle so I bought him a handful of $1 Wal Mart spinnerbaits in the same white color that I usually use. Like me, he throws some sort of paddle tail trailer on it and he catches fish on those $1 lures as well. Once my next KVD blows up I'll probably use the $1 spinnerbaits as well.
So my suggestion is worry more about size, color, and a trailer rather than brand.

As long as it has a quality ball bearing swivel they all work well . I dont use the wal-mart 1 dollar specials and other super cheap baits because the blades dont spin on the drop .
NorthernBasser reply :
I am partial to Pepper Custom Baits spinnerbaits as well as War Eagle.

Just have to keep in mind what type of water clairty your fishing and if you need to go for flash = willow blades vs thump/vibration Colorado.
Catt reply :
For maximum thump, vibration, & longevity Stanley Vibra-Wedge Spinnerbait!
Arcs&sparks reply :
I’ve caught more fish on $1.00 Walmart spinnerbaits than anything else. I have some sweet looking KVDs and some other brands but I used to catch a lot more on spinnerbaits with the small junky ones for some reason. My fish are frugal...

Also for that inbetween thump and flash you can use Indiana blades. Same idea as Colorado blades only smaller and a little less thump.

War Eagle and Terminator are my spinnerbaits of choice. I also like the Lucky Craft SKT Crazy Colorado Willow spinnerbait. For inexpensive spinnerbaits I generally go with Booyah.
Gundog reply :
Where I fish there are pickerel/pike/musky that will bend and break a normal spinner bait so I've found it best to use Terminator spinner baits. They are more expensive but worth every extra penny.
Pacoac10 reply :
My wife and I own about 70 spinnerbaits. Picasso, Booyah, Strike king, Yamamoto, War eagle, Lucky craft, Terminator, Stanley Northland tackle, and Culprit. The main thing to me is the wire, hook can be sharpened, swivels and skirts can be changed out. Even eyes replaced. But there no answer for a weak wire.

Brad in Texas reply :
Some really good advice on selections from low budget ideas to the really top-end lures.
I'd watch a handful of primers on spinnerbait fishing, almost certainly one can be found here on this forum, articles, too.
And, I'd recommend watching Rick Clunn's video on this lure and its presentation. He learned from two of the best spinnerbait anglers of all time by most people's reckoning. Clunn mentions that one of these anglers used spinnerbaits year-round, all circumstances, not just in certain situations. I think KVD has some excellent thoughts on them, too, and few know how to manage moving presentations better. Finally, Scott Martin has at least one video where he focuses on spinnerbaits, uses them to pull monsters out of those Florida waters he fishes.

Frisbie385 reply :
Nichols Pulsator Metal Flake Spinnerbaits. Great quality and a good color selection to choose from

War Eagle
kcdinkerz reply :
War eagle, eco pro, sob. All 3 worked for me.
J Francho reply :
I don't use just one. Siebert's Cosmic for thick weeds. The Strike King Premier from DSG are great for rocks, wood, and mixed vegetation. Booyah Vibra wire work as a gen purpose.
Jaderose reply :
Best value in all of fishing right here.......
Plus, you get the added bonus of knowing that you will put the hook on wrong EVERY SINGLE TIME. Keeps you humble.
punch reply :
Has anyone checked out Angler Assets spinnerbaits? They are a smaller company but are available on TW. I ordered several of them directly from them a few weeks ago and they are REALLY nice.

Roll Tide! Oh wait....wrong thread! ????
tcbass reply :
I’ve always had a lot of luck with Terminator titanium’s and steel. They rarely fall apart even after many fish. Very durable, even the steel ones.
I bought some Booyah Vibra ones and thought they were too heavy. But I’ll give them another try.
J Francho reply :
Also, forgot about my Stanleys. Still one of the better all around spinners.
Pacoac10 reply :
Out of my lower end spinnerbaits I like my strike king burner. Comes though weeds nicely and has a good amount of flash.
Primus reply :
I don't claim to be a spinnerbait guru , of the ones I tried I prefer the S.O.B Mini Me, Peppers and Strike King brands.

Same here!! Where I fish I believe the reason why I do so good with those Walmart spinner baits is it's size,I'm fishing shallow water with alot of grass,when that spinnerbait come thru that grass they destroy it!They are cheaply made you have to straighten them out after every fish,sharpen the hook and replace the skirts when a Oscar or mudfish slam it,but it's the right size for where I'm fishing and right blade combo so I use them .Got a gallon bag full of them with a bag of zman skirts.
Munkin reply :
I make my own but if I had to buy some it would be Stanley or War Eagle.
Two years ago I scored some older 3/4oz Vibrashafts NIP from a flea market. These are made better than what is currently out there IMO. I deep roll them post spawn and catch some nice bass.

Ditto here. I'm not afraid of losing a dollar spinnerbait. The black and black/yellow ones have a single large colorado blade, perfect for muddy waters here. Change skirts if you want something else....
Columbia Craw reply :
Every spinnerbait brand/manufacture mentioned makes a very good bait. Two manufactures not mentioned that I have a lot of confidence in are Revenge and Dobyns. I fish spinnerbaits a bunch for smallmouth and these baits are my go to's. I also own quite a few Stanleys and Peppers. Flashover also makes a great bait and will custom paint blades. You have numerous options for sure.

The terminator series holds up a lot longer against those annoying pike because of the titanium frame. Normal steel framed ones are toast after one of those snot rockets plows into it
JONNYTX reply :
Thank yall so much I really appreciate the feedback. I am a younger angler and I am trying you soak up as much knowledge from you more seasoned fisherman so that I can pass the knowledge on to a younger angler in the future.
OkobojiEagle reply :
A seldom mentioned (like never) spinnerbait that I've found to be the most versatile and productive in my tackle bag is the Zorro short arm Aggravator (used to be the Stan Sloan Aggravator). I carry the 5/8oz bluegill color and always cut the wire weedguard off. Contrary to what you often read about spinnerbait styles, this single Colorado bladed bait is very weedless and draws some pretty viscous hits when fished through the top of submergent weeds. It also excels at bouncing along a clean bottom.
I challenge anyone on this board to tell me you've got one of these baits in your bag...
