New Video! Spinnerbaits 2024

Glenn reply :

Well folks, here's my first attempt at being in front of the camera instead of behind it.

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I ALWAYS have a spinnerbait on the deck of my boat, and I ALWAYS fish it at least for a little while on every outing.

In this video, I give away all my secrets gained over the decades of heavy spinnerbait fishing. Whether you're a beginner, or have been fishing spinnerbaits for long time, you'll find some new tips to try the next time you hit the water.

Many thanks to Idaho***er for his fine camera work!

Enjoy!

AndyPlaysDrums reply :

Wow, thanks Glenn, that was great! I've been garnering a great interest in spinnerbaits recently, and that really cleared some things up for me. Well done!

Tucson reply :

Great video, thanks for your efforts. I learned a lot about spinnerbaits even though I use them a lot. Particularly liked the info on skirts, blade choices and trailers. I'd like to find some spinnerbaits that don't have those humongous hooks that are so common.

5bass reply :

Thats good stuff right there! Nicely done Glenn!

bamabassing reply :

You have to love this vid just about everything dealing with the basics of a spinner bait..Thanks

The Green Lizard reply :

Great Video, Really enjoyed it and was informative, gathered new ideas.

Bassin_Fin@tic reply :

Your a star

Sfritr reply :

Very Nicely done!!!

Showing footage of hooking into one at the end was a nice touch as well. If you're gonna be a movie star you'll have to hit the tanning bed though..

Great Job and very informative for a newcomer wanting spinnerbait tips.

kms399 reply :

fantastic video well done! if only there was a video like this on jerkbaits, worms, crankbaits every lure type out there it would really help a lot of people. I don't really like spinnerbaits but now I feel like I need to go get some lumaflex skirts and give it another go. were you working with the bait monkey on this one?

vtbassin reply :

Thanks Glenn. Great video!

Bassn Blvd reply :

It's about time you made a post with you catching a fish ;D.

Good job with the video.

DINK WHISPERER reply :

BRAVO Glenn, BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But did ya have to dog Tina man.......................LOL

Just kidding

BTW, nice shoes

Sam reply :

Excellent.

Thanks.

Eddie Munster reply :

Nicely done Glenn. Thanks for all the information. Spinnerbaits are one of my numerous weaknesses.

Bassn Blvd reply :

Pleas move this to the tackle section...

Jeremy D. reply :

Very informative! Thanks

Captain Obvious reply :

Your going to be getting a call one of these days from Hollywood asking you to star in a new show

"Fishing With Glenn" LOL

great video just one question do you use those kinds of skirts on your jigs to or just the spinner baits?

Koop reply :

Very nicely done!

Glenn reply :

Just spinnerbaits. I like to let my jigs sit for awhile, and rubber skirts tend to slowly open while the jig sits still, while lumaflex skirts won't do that.

The lumaflex works better for moving baits. But I guess they would work for swimming jigs. I haven't tried that yet. Hmmmm....you gave me an idea.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I appreciate it. The mods and I have several more videos like this in the works, so stay tuned!

Unknownwaters reply :

an excellent video certainly helped me abit. one thing ive never used is trailers for my spinnerbaits. any recommendations for brand, type, etc?

I usually don't use trailers either, but when I do I go with the NETBAIT Paca Chunk or Tiny Paca. Thats a crawfish type trailer and I usually match it to the Davis X-Swim spinnerbait.

adclem reply :

Very nice video and even better info. Thanks for the great info and tips.

Later,

Koop reply :

Glenn, where can the dye you mentioned me purchased? Also I'm guessing you make your own skirts with the lumaflex material you buy... how many skirts does a 1/4lb roll make?

Very informative! Thanks

Dennis1022 reply :

Great video, with lot of information for those who fish and tried to use them, and never could! Hope you do more videos on other things, like how to use bait-casting rod and reels. Also other information on other lures also.

Thanks

Dennis

senile1 reply :

From one spinnerbait lover to another, great video Glenn! I actually picked up a couple of new ideas. Number one, I don't use Lumaflex for my skirts so I'm going to give them a try, and number two, I don't usually change the blade color first when I have short strikes. I'm amazed at the number of guys who were looking at your legs.

basser89 reply :

Great video Glenn!

While I don't use them exclusively, I do throw Lumaflex skirts from time to time. Thanks for bringing up the spinnerbait weight! 3/4oz is something I haven't thrown very often (actually not at all this year). I'll have to break them back out! But 14# test with a 3/4oz spinnerbait? I'll be going a little higher (bad experience in the past with lighter lines)! You're right about the backhand roll cast, it is a little awkward at first. I started using it last year.

7mm-08 reply :

Very informative. Good werk!

LCpointerKILLA reply :

I hear the baitmonkey saying something about lumaflex...

Glenn reply :

BTW - the skirts are available in 2 packs too. I had a few folks wondering if they can only get them in the 100 pack. I buy them in bulk simply because they're hard to find and I go through a dozen or more a year. But they're available in smaller quantities as well.

Andy Taylor reply :

I can't get the video to play. Any ideas why?

MALTESE FALCON reply :

Well done, Glenn.

That skirt did resemble Phyllis Diller.LOL

nateobot reply :

Thanks Glenn. I don't throw any spinnerbaits currently, but might give it a shot.

skno reply :

very good I think someone has been watching KVD videos untill 2:00 in the morning ;D

Dave D reply :

Good vid Glenn, now I may actually have to use the spinnerbaits that I have. ;D

Daniel My Brother reply :

Very solid video. I look forward to more!

Quitlimpin reply :

Excellent work! Definitely some new stuff to think about. Been using spinnerbaits all my life but never bigger than 1/2 oz and rarely that.

ilovefooffur reply :

Awesome video! Thanks so much!

TENNESSEE NEWSOME reply :

I've been wondering if videos like this would ever surface.

Wow! Excellent work Glenn! Very, very helpful. I'm a worm/tube/jig fisherman mostly and haven't given spinnerbaits the honest try that I should be.

Can't wait to see these other videos!

Mike__D reply :

great info. Really appreciated the vid.

Mike

BlueDaksi reply :

Great video! You've given me some fresh perspectives on throwing this bait. Thanks!

Smeagol_hates_taters reply :

Thanks Glenn!

As a noob, who so far has not caught a single fish on spinners, I found the video very informative.

Cant wait to try it out this weekend.

jeosbo01 reply :

Many thanks for the video Glenn. I fish spinner baits on the majority of my outings and still picked up a thing or two.

Can't wait for more videos!!!

Bama55 reply :

Great video Glenn! I've just got into bass fishing over the last year or so and I've only caught one bass on a spinnerbait many because I didn't know anything about using them. This video has help A LOT!

DRhodes reply :

Looking like Tina Turner LOL

Very nice video Glen

Thank you

Thank you

Yea or Phyllis Diller ;D i had to pause the video for a second after that one.

Of all the great tips the one that stands out in my mind is the cast/entry.

Mastering the cast and getting your lure to slip into the water as quietly as possible takes some time but is well worth it.

kms399 reply :

this should be a sticky

b.Lee reply :

Learned a lot from that video. Appreciate the patients you put into it. A+++

tntitans21399 reply :

I didn't know you had videos, that is super.

detroit1 reply :

I was hoping to see you retieve a spinnerbait just "above" the surface. That is a trick i have not mastered, but am working on it. (a custom 350:1 geared baitcaster)... sorry, i had to bust your chops a little..good work and looking forward to more.

AV_1611 reply :

I have plenty of spinnerbaits and no idea how to use them effectively.

Thanks for the video Glenn I have a much better idea of what to look for when the baitmonkey bites and just how to fish them as well.

IdahoLunkerHunter reply :

Here are some quick ideas of lumaflex skirts as Glenn mentioned. I have white in bulk if there are people who want to buy them cheap.

Will make them to order.

I have polarflash and flashabou in some colors.

Matt Fly reply :

I love spinnerbaits, made me want to go throw one.

So, when you getting JIGGY with us?

Can't wait till the next installment comes.

simplejoe reply :

Glenn, Was there someone fishing beside you in the Video at 11 min. and 53 sec. there was a splash behind you on your right side (left if your looking at the screen)

Anyway good video I like those skirts you had also.

Joe

BigJohnny reply :

I have two questions on this matter that I'll just throw up in here instead of starting a new thread.

I've never tried using a trailer, what are some suggestions on trailer selection?

Also, I noticed Glenn mentioned he prefers to throw a 3/4 ounce spinner bait. I've never seen anything over a 1/2 ounce. Where can you find larger?

SWH reply :

Thanks for the info on the spinnerbaits. I love throwing them but i am pretty new to it. Although i have fished alot i normally fish with people who know what they are doing just this summer i am going out on my own just fishing from the banks. i have only been able to catch one so far. These ideas should help alot and hopefully in the next week or so i will post that they REALLY helped. Thanks again.

Any suggestions for fishing from the bank of a pond?

Yes, my wife Keri. Idaho***er was behind the camera. We shot that all in about an hour, and then proceeded to just slay 'em on spinnerbaits, frogs, and Senkos. We had a blast!

ABLE2DISABLE1 reply :

A Glenn, I be the new-by to the forum and like the video.But you had sad one key thing,that sparked a question.The 3/4 once was easier to throw in the wind and all, for practice,as well for a steady pick.My Question is Why use that huge Bladed thing When you could put yourself in targeting mid to large Fish.When simply downsize-in to 1/6 or 1/8once and learn to throw it in all conditions.I myself throw big baits preferred,but their are some that swear by the little stuff.Its easy to throw wait, but do it with a feather, training with something lighter.Then go to the big stuff,with greater accuracy presentation precision ext.

Glenn reply :

I'm having a hard time understanding your question, but I think you're asking why a big bait vs. a smaller bait. Aside from the reasons given in the video, I find the underhand casts shown in the video are easier with heavier baits. Hope that helps!

Long Mike reply :

Glenn, nice interpretation of the question. I thought he was talking about a very large knife. :

Lynx reply :

Tina Turner with a bad hair day! Nice! LMAO!

wedge reply :

One of the best videos that I have seen.

Great job.

bassfisherjk reply :

Great video Glenn,keep up the good work.

Redlinerobert reply :

Great video Glenn -

IdahoLunkerHunter reply :

Able,

I think I understand what you are asking. Why use a larger spinner bait than a smaller one?

A larger spinner bait is a much more practical all year presentation. As Glenn said, he only downsizes after spawn. With the larger spinnerbaits you can throw these things through the thickest trees, "Crashing them through" that a smaller weighted spinnerbait would hang up in. I also find it a little easier to slow roll these baits when you are fishing deeper water and you also will ctach all sizes of bass on a 3/4 oz bait.

When we were fishing the 8-12" fish wouldn't keep off them. It was getting so bad by the end of each day we were yelling at the dinks, or reeling in faster before they hooked themselves. It was pretty comical.

Larger baits will attract the mid sized fish just as well as a 1/4-1/2 oz bait will.

vatech reply :

awesome video, thank ya!

Jeff C. reply :

Glen,

very informative !!!

way cool,

now we need one on Jigs !!

BigJohnny reply :

I second the motion on the jig video

Kenny418 reply :

Great video, Very informative since I have zero confidence in a spinnerbait. I have not found the right combination of color and blade selection for my home lake. I have found at night with a big single blade bumping the bottom works great, but during the day I can't catch a fish on one. I have had great luck on a rocket shad early in the spring, but not on regular spinnerbaits. Any suggestions?

IdahoLunkerHunter reply :

Kenny, my go-to spinnerbait selection is a 1/2 oz head custom painted chartreuse and green, large willow leaf gold blade, small colorado silver blade , 65 strand 7" white lumaflex skirt with chartreuse and pearl flashabou.

I can make the skirts to order if you are interested.

ab8aac reply :

NOW I know what I have been doing wrong, thanks very very much

Big Stick Joe reply :

joshuaryan reply :

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

IdahoLunkerHunter reply :

Jeff,

Glad you liked them!

PS:I am so thankful for Glenn taking me out and allowing me to help with this video. I learned a lot and the spinnerbait is now one of my go-to's.

firefightn15 reply :

Needed to bump. Great vid Glenn, I can't believe I missed it the first time around.

bassinbob54 reply :

great video...been working on that underhanded backhanded cast its tuff..Bob

Sherlock 60 reply :

Very helpful video. My left handed cast will be up and running by April.

I like the crankbait video idea!

Eternal Angler reply :

Every time I go out I try a spinnerbait, they are dynamite. I'm a big fan of the willow leaf blades!

fishintroop reply :

Thanks Glenn! Great information. You're a natural in front of the camera

Chad Corrin reply :

Great Video. Thanks! ;D

XPSbasser reply :

Awsome video. I used to fish spinnerbaits all the time but here lately I have been geared more towards soft plastics. After watching that video however I have a feeling Ill be throwing a spinnerbait some the next time I get on the water.. Thanks again for the great video..

blkbearklr2001 reply :

What a great video, kept it real simple and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing that.

Joe

ryan 772 reply :

i am new to the whole fishing sport aand i was trying to learn how to use spinner baits but i have a question i fish a pond with about a foot to foot and half of visibility and i learned from the video i should use a gold blade but what about a color for the skirt and advise?

basshat reply :

Video was extremely helpful!

In all honesty, I took your advice on the calm entry, low-trajectory, underhand throw and caught a 4.5lb large mouth first cast!! A few casts later I caught a 2lb small mouth...!!!

Now granted I didn't catch much the rest of the day, I still did better than I've ever done with those (2) big bass. I was fishing a small pond that is really over fished too, so I consider this to be an excellent outcome. Oh yeah, I also changed my spinner blade to a gold indiana blade (which I've never used before!!). The blade might be a colorado though, as I'm still not well versed when it comes to blades. You can see it in the pic. Anyway, to add to the excitement, I've used spinners at this pond for the last two weeks since I started fishing here and only caught 1 crappie, never a bass. Furthermore, this was the biggest large mouth I've ever caught (haven't fished a whole lot until recently). Some regulars came down shortly after I released the big one and I showed them the pics, they said they've never seen a large mouth that big come from that pond...I felt like a superstar. LOL Maybe I'll catch it again!

I took a pic with my iphone but it's hard to see since I had to hold the phone and the fish and take a pic of myself...

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your secrets. I can attest to the fact that your secrets definitely work!!

GoHeels reply :

Ive always been a huge fan of the spinnerbait king/kid.. KVD and it's probably the most exciting bait for me personally due to the versatility of it. So it's always good to see a well documented video of how to use it. Additional learning tips and things you might have forgot. Nice job Glenn!
