how many? 2024
Heron reply :
About how many spinnerbaits do you own?
A-Jay reply :
I'll guesstamate about 55-60 give or take a few.
But about one third of those are designated as "Pike only baits".
That's for two reason's really; first it means they've caught pike before and second, after that they're usually fairly bent and often somewhat mangled.

FlipSide reply :
I've only got about 20 or so. Chatterbaits on the other hand... Lol
gardnerjigman reply :
I've probably got 10. Really it's all the same brand 2 different weights, different blades and colors.
Mosster47 reply :
I fish three types and I have three of each in two different weights.
Every year I buy a few Wal-Mart cheapos with gold blades and rattle can them bright orange. A place I fish frequently has a huge goldfish population and the bass crush these Rustoleum beauties!
alzun664 reply :
3.
I like to keep it simple so I change out the blades or skirts if needed to better fit a specific situation. Or I'll just fish something else entirely if the spinnerbaits arent getting it done.
Bluebasser86 reply :
I have a few dozen, almost all War Eagles. They're far outnumbered by bladed jigs.
Fishes in trees reply :
I've probably managed to collect a couple of hundred over the years. I don't think more than 50 or 60 make it into the boat bin to start the year. I probably carry another 12 to 20 chatter baits and a dozen or two buzz baits. I went through a period several years ago, when I bought a bunch of spinnerbaits. Not so much the past few years.
UKCATSBASSER reply :
Maybe 20-25 ish. Mostly 3/8 in white, white chart, shad patterns.
I feel like swimbaits and square bills have made the spinner bait second fiddle.
However in stained water or windy conditions I'll take the spinner bait.
long island basser reply :
12
SNK reply :
Around 10 or so. Mostly white and white/chartreuse.
Bankbeater reply :
Probably around 50 or so of different brands, colors and weights.
smalljaw67 reply :
I have 9 boxes, but I make my own so I have them separated into catagories. I have 30 high speed spinnerbaits, 15 slow roll spinnerbaits, 10 wake spinnerbaits, 10 all-purpose spinnerbaits , and 20 small spinnerbaits. The small ones are 1/4oz models with double willow configuration and the reason they are all double willows is because I use the small ones only during clear water situations. This is an abnormal amount but it is because I make my own so I'm always trying new blades or tweaking the wire form size which leads to a high number.
Sam reply :
Spinnerbaits and rods are like women's shoes - - - you can never have enough.
I have no idea. Probably around 60.
kickerfish1 reply :
80 Spinnerbaits (roughly 4 spinner bait boxes full)
40 chatterbaits (1 full 3700 series boxes)
Close to 750 jigs (27 of the 3700 series boxes in every style imagineable)

WOW !!!!!! Bait Monkey been busy for sure...
MIbassyaker reply :
The current count is 13, mostly white, chartreuse, black and almost all double blade, colorado front, willow rear. The Bait Monkey disapproves, and believes I should diversify my holdings. However, in about half the places I fish, I don't use anything with a blade on it unless I feel like getting piked.

I stopped counting when I got to 100 and ........ I pretty much fish with the same 5 I´ve been fishing for the last 20+ years, all I do is renew the skirts on those and sharpen the hook.

Quite, true! It has been a progression over the years to find exactly what I like/prefer for different times of the year and types of cover present. Considering getting into tying of various jigs which could lead to even more. Part of the reason for the large quantity is a enjoy collecting them and 2nd is I fish them more than other bait.
N Florida Mike reply :
2.And I never fish with them.I am going to make myself try them again this year.Just haven't done well with spinnerbai ts
buzzed bait reply :
I don't know but I'd say like 50+

Likewise. About the only time they come out for me is in windy conditions. I have about a dozen.
papajoe222 reply :
Fifteen or so, mostly older Stanley's. I only replace them when one breaks. I change out blades, and I've shortened the arms on a couple. I have another half dozen made specifically for pike fishing.
Evan K reply :
Before this year I hated spinnerbaits, never caught a single fish on them. After having some phenomenal success this summer with them and finally figuring out how to fish them right, I've fallen in love. I've gone from 2 (plus a handful of older ones I never used, and subsequently traded) to... (opens spinnerbait wallet and counts) 12. Which I think is probably enough for me. I likely won't buy a ton more.
Darren. reply :
10 ish. Usable? Maybe 3.
The rest are old, from my Dad's collection.
gulfcaptain reply :
I'd say somewhere around 30 or so. Most in the 3/8oz, but do have some 1/4 and 1/2 oz mixed in with a mix of double willow, wiliow/colorado, single willow, double colorado, and single colorado. A handful of buzzbaits, and about a dozen bladed jigs.
the reel ess reply :
No more than 10. Use 2, maybe 3.
EricTheAngler reply :
Five... I dont fish spinnerbaits that much but the ones I fish I fish a lot.
Munkin reply :
Since I make my own and they are my favorite bait I have a lot.
I do know that I have 9 spinnerbait molds though.
Allen
Montanaro reply :
Id say 6.
All revenge baits in 1/4 to 3/8. Shad patterns, whites and chartrueses. I want to add a couple more 1/4oz deep runners as they mimic small shad perfectly
Buckeye Ron reply :
Less than 30,of which I routinely use 5 or 6 in white or some variation of chartreuse. After this many years I have it narrowed down to what actually does catch fish for me. The "rest"are in boxes someplace.
tander reply :
Probably 40 which consist of 3 different brands, Booyah, Hart, and Mr Hootie.
ww2farmer reply :
ZERO
I have not fished a spinner bait more than a handful of times over the past 3-4 years.
The swim jig and chatterbait have replaced it. I always carried a few of my old favorites around the last few years...........a 3/8 oz chart./white with tandem #4 gold willow leaf blades, and a 1/4 oz. Bluegill colored "finesse" spinnerbait with tandem #3 gold willow leaf blades, but I can count on one hand and have fingers left over the number of times I used them since I started using swim jigs, and chatterbaits. So a few weeks ago I said "to heck" with them, sold my remaining spinnerbaits off, and will head into next year with ZERO spinnerbaits.
Fishinthefish reply :
10 individual baits. Multiple sizes in them.
jonnyblazex reply :
Im not a big fan of spinnerbaits, but my dad (60 years old) uses them every time we go fishing. I mean that's all he uses, 100%, Some days he hammers the bass, and I cant believe it, they really do work great. I never seem to have much luck with them myself, and probably own around 10 of them. I can try to use the exact same ones he is using, and he catches 10 and I get 0, he gets some pigs too! I just don't get it, he's just really good with them for some odd reason. Great bait for covering a lot of water and catching fish!

What differences are there between you and your dad in rods/reels/line, speed and pattern of retrieval, depth that he runs the bait, fish attractant, cleaner hands, pays more attention to cover, willingness to run the bait deeper down into the weeds? Snaps it out of the weeds more enticingly? Or is it that he anticipates the bites better, feels the bites better, or sets the hook better? Or is it that he dawdles less, casts farther, has bait in the water more minutes per hour, has more rods with more types of spinner baits ready to go? Anyway, it has to be something -- either coincidence or something he does differently, maybe something subtle, maybe something you can't put in words. If you can figure it out you'll catch more fish too. And if you figure it out, let us know too!
soflabasser reply :
I have over 10 spinnerbaits.They are among my favorite lures to use since they are great for covering water and catching decent sized bass.
Catt reply :
20-25 most are Stanley
BaitMonkey1984 reply :
I would say 40 and I only throw about 3. All Terminator T-1s for me moving forward.
tholmes reply :
Probably around 50, but only because I bought a plastic bucket of about 35 at a yard sale for $3.00 a couple of years ago. I keep about 10 in my tackle box.

clh121787 reply :
Maybe 10-12. Need to fish them more.
Scarborough817 reply :
Just one that I got in last month's mtb
bunkerbstr reply :
I have no clue. Safely say over 50 though. Stanley, Strike King, War Eagle, Booyah and some custom made.

How are you fishing them? I've bought a few spinnerbaits on sale since I read so much about them but I haven't had much luck the few times I've tried throwing them. Seeing some of the spinnerbait counts on this thread (over 100!) now I'm thinking there's something there that could be productive.

It seemed like for me getting a better quality bait (War eagle) and a sensitive rod made a big difference. I was able to feel strikes a lot better and set the hook more readily (which is super important with a spinnerbait). I also changed from using chartreuse/firetiger ones to using more natural colors, and that seemed to make a big difference as well.
WIGuide reply :
I'm probably somewhere in the 60-75 range. A spinnerbait is one of my confidence baits though and I don't like messing with swapping blades on the water so I have them rigged and ready to go.

I do the same thing. I have 5-6 quality spinnerbaits with different weights and blade combinations, and I buy different color skirts to change out to match the hatch and conditions. KVD and Terminator now have skirts that are incredibly easy to change out.
Last_Cast reply :
Never ever had luck on spinnerbaits.
I believe I have 3 or 4.
Advice would be appreciated, Seems like people love using them!
Jaw1 reply :
Guessing close to 75 of all different configurations, but usually only fish with 1/4 white double willow
