Spinnerbaits

Wishing2BFishing · 06-10-08, 04:35 PM

Any recommendations on good, quality, well-made spinnerbaits? I have some Terminators that have not held up well. The bead cracked on one and the split ring came apart on another. What is the "Lucky Craft" of spinnerbaits (good quality and a little costly)? Which brand is the "Rapala" (good quality but not too much money)?

lowrider · 06-10-08, 04:42 PM

don't know exactly about the highs and lows, but the brands i really like lately are War Eagle and Booyah.

Jim80 · 06-10-08, 04:49 PM

love the booyahs and the strike king spinners with the perfect skirt .

Nitro911 · 06-10-08, 05:29 PM

Strike King for ease of purchasing, SOB if you want some really nice, custom made baits.

I like BOOYAH's and the Strike King Premier Plus w/ Perfect Skirt. Both are good (IMO) and won't break the bank.

Zooker does make a great blade.

A lot of people talk bad about the terminators, and I'll agree that the split rings are crap and they may tear up quickly - but they run pretty good. The Hank Parker classics are also a good spinnerbait. Hart makes a good spinnerbait.

Lots of good spinnerbait companies mentioned here. Most of the baits I fish I make but if I fish a store bought bait I go with Stanley vibra or wedge. They have a new bait with tunable wire. They cost much less than most have good swivels and great blades. I catch a lot of bigger fish with them.Fish2win

Booyah!!

I use Secret Weapon spinnerbaits. They have interchangable blades and you can really tune in to what the fish want with a quick change of a blade, vice having to carry 20 different baits. They also have one of the sharpest hooks available.

Nichols, made in Texas, if you can find them. I've never had one break up on me, they use a gamakatsu spinnerbait hook, and have a bullet shaped head, great for grass, not as good in wood. Been using those since 92, and still about the same price. If not those, the Strike King KVD, and Pro series, seemed to be pretty good but I've already had the clevis break on one of those. The Nichols run 6 to 8 bucks each depending what you buy and where, and the high end Strike Kings run about 5 to 7 bucks each.

these are the best spinnerbaits you can buy they look alot better than the pix on this site

BERKLEY83 · 06-16-08, 07:54 PM

Hart And Booyah More Hart Then Any

3dkicker · 06-17-08, 03:43 PM

I like the 1/2 oz Ledgebuster smallmouth blades for largemouth on the river. Hildebrandt makes a nice one if you can find them. Hank Parker's are very good and hold up over time too. A couple locals used to custom make me mine so I don't buy many off the shelf. Both have stopped making them so I'm in search of a new custom spinnerbait maker.

crab · 06-17-08, 06:34 PM

I like the T1 alot ,I had a couple tear up and called them and they sent me a few new ones. I like the Strike king premier plus also.

bassnman30 · 06-18-08, 10:55 AM

You can dial up Hildebrant baits on the computor. I personally prefer an Okeechobee special.

bigbasser · 06-18-08, 10:07 PM

Checkout ( www.xciterbaits.com ), Walter makes one GREAT spinnerbait.

mariner · 06-18-08, 11:04 PM

big basser that link dont work

1FASTLASER · 06-22-08, 07:24 AM

Wareagle spinnerbaiits and Zook-en-Steins

Is there any others to fish??????

Jigger · 06-22-08, 09:21 AM

I use Strike King because Wal Mart carries them and they run straight. I try and stick with something I can pick up off the rack. I live in a small town and unless you shop Wal Mart for baits, you're constantly ordering stuff which requires shipping charges and a 3 to 5 day wait. I can't get Booyahs to run straight. I gave up on them.

senko · 06-22-08, 04:19 PM

I like Booyah, Terminator, and Wareagle

LoneStarAngler07 · 06-25-08, 03:45 AM

Strike king is good. and so is booyah
