In Search Of A Spinnerbait

keithdog · 10-20-10, 11:51 PM

Not a particular brand but rather a particular build, and I'm not sure anyone makes it. What I want is a smaller profile spinnerbait with double willow blades that still weighs 3/4oz or 1oz. My idea is for a spinnerbait made with a tungsten head which would give you the weight without the bulk of a larger lead head. Basically a 3/4oz or 1oz. spinnerbait that is essencially the same look and size as a 1/4 or 3/8oz spinnerbait. If they can make tungsten bullet weights then why not spinnerbait heads? It would be more expensive, but I'd pay it if I could only find it. Anyone know of such an animal?

Keith, I have a few of these in 1/2 oz and they run deeper & faster than a "normal" spinnerbait. Great for buzzing over weeds. Newly added the 1 oz. size, which I haven't tried, that's a heavy spinnerbait. New owner of the business, so I haven't dealt with him. I got mine from the originator of the bait - I won a dozen for naming the "LIVEWIRE" spinnerbait. I'm happy with them for the purpose mentioned above, the small profile does have it's place. This is a compact, short upper arm bait, I think they are #3.5 blades on the 1/2 oz.

Email: Bkfrns@rockemail.com should you have any interest. The originator was MOAB aka Bait Ink.

This would be awesome for Smallies on Kentucky Lake in the spring. Slow rolling out deep on points on the LBL side of the lake... thanks for thinking that up... i may have to increase my spinner bait collection soon...

Keith these are the War Eagles I've been using...Larger weight,smaller profile...They run great out of the box!
You'll notice the hidden weight behind the head.

Ya know Waffle, I've been looking at those. I'm definately going to pick up a couple to try before next spring.

I got lucky once. Store was selling War Eagles for $1.39. I bought 10 of them. My favorite.

War Eagles are great spinnerbaits. The Screaming Eagle is a hidden weight spinnerbait that weighs 1/2 oz. but has the profile of a 1/4 oz (I think that is right). Hidden weight is the way to go Keith, also you might check out Heavy Cover spinnerbaits http://www.heavycover.com/catalog/site.html you get to design your own so maybe they can help.

I'm not sure if I should thank you or be mad at you right now!

I think my bank account is probably covering its eyes. I am definitely going to have to "design" some spinnerbaits, thanks for the link.

I often make my own spinnerbaits, and I buy my supplies from Lure Parts Online. They offer a hidden weight spinnerbait head design. I think I'll also get a few of those to play with.

You could also add some suspend dots or strips like you use for jerkbaits to add some weight. Just stick them on the hidden weight part under the skirt.
