Silicone Spinnerbaits--Which one is best?

I have enough natural hair spinnerbaits to last me awhile. I have been convinced that I need an arsenal of silicone skirted spinnerbaits as well. These will be used for casting and trolling.

Who makes the best? I'm ready to buy some.

I use Lilly Tail In-line Spinners and Rad Dog Spinnerbaits, both very good and well built. I know there are other options out there -- I would agree that you need to add a couple to your box.

My vote goes to the Shady Tail.Get the smaller version unless you have arms like tree trunks!They are,(my opinion),better hooking than the Lilly tails.

Grim Reapers are by far my favorite.

For a safety pin style I like Grim Reapers.
For inline I make my own.

The Pearson's Grinders from ERC are very fine spinnerbaits. You can swap the swivel for a ball bearing swivel and add a colorado blade and you can use it for bulging as well. Very good hooking potential as well with no top arm in the way of the hook points.
