Do Spinner baits really work??

Do spinner baits really work?? How about buzzbaits? I have a fishing game on the computer, and in the game these work awesome. And i see the pro's using spinner baits. But i am only 16, right now i am in school, but right after school i am going fishing, i am not the best at fishing but i love it. just on monday i caught a 16.5 large mouth bass out of a small farm pond. But i was just wondering if i should go out and buy one or not! dont have alot of money, so i dont want to waste it, but if it works i am willing to spend the money!!!!!
Thanx!!

Yes they do work.

They sure do. The biggest bass I have caught came on a spinnerbait. Caught a bunch on buzzbaits, too. They are both good baits to have in your arsenal.

[IL.bassin36]

Definitely on both! ;D

I won't hit the water without spinnerbaits. Especially chartruese with willow leaf blades.

Not only do spinnerbaits catch fish,on a bad cast they will make the flowerpots on the ends of the docks look like someone took a weedeater to them as you retrieve your ill guided spinnerbait mid flight, before it hits and gets wedged in between the dock boards. ;D P N J

O.K. Hula. I'm usually griping at you youngins' about not paying attention in school. Now it's your turn for paying too much attention in school. Maybe I shouldn't gripe, at least your learning something. ;D Keep up the good work.

[redneck13]

Yes ,they certainly do!

My most used bait in the tackle box. 8)

if you're new to fishing and money is tight, how bout a bag of worms or jerk baits instead of a spinner. After all, a bag of worms or or jerk baits will have between 5-12 lures per bag instead of just one spinner bait, granted you buy extra hooks as well. Soft plastics, in my opinion, are easy to catch fish on for a novice. A spinner is more likely to need the right conditions to provoke the bite, wear as worms and jerk baits are hard for a fish to resist.

[daveraynor]

Yes, definetly.

HulaPopr,
That is just an absolutely tremendous Ghostbusters reference! ;D

[jglassguy]

the spinnerbait is the most used bait I have...although I have been in a ton of tournament where the angler has given up trying to figure the bass out(zip, nada, no tails in the live well) and they end up throwing the blade all day to kill time.
I like to use that spinnerbait as many dif. ways as possible and my fav presentation is to flip with it up close and work it over fallen trees.. once ya feel the limb let it go over and then fall before you reel again 8)

i prefer to fish a spinnerbait over any other lure if the conditions will let me.buzzbaits are awesome.especially at night!!!

[Bassin_Dude]

no. millions and millions of them are sold a year, but they dont work. the company just decided to make a bait that doesnt works : nicely done hula ;D

I'm glad to see that someone picked up on that. ;D

damn 16.5 or 1.6 damn thats a huge bass. im jealous, anywho spinner baits work really good, most people tell me most big bass will come on a spinner.

[Bassin_Dude]

he probally meant inches.

[Bladerunner]

i just bought myself one yesterday, never used one before, but im looking forward to using it,, what is a good retrieval speed/ technique to use with spinners.

[Rich]

Burn it just under the surface, slow roll it(retrieve just fast enough to turn the blades), yo-yo it-there really isn't a wrong way to fish it. Just vary the retrieve and let the fish tell you what they want.

this year right off the bat i was using spinners and nailing bass left and right its slowed a little but when the weed hang over the edge off a pond that when i break out the buzz bait in moring and late night before the sun goes down
