| I throw a Rad Dog 75% of the time and it's extremely weedless when grinding through cabbage.
I usually have a trailer grub on there, but when I am grinding, I do take the grub off.

| what kind of weeds?
colorado blades seem to work very well in cabbage-type weeds, the blade's lift helps with running high and ticking the tops of the weeds.
willow blades run great in more grass-like weeds where you're actually running through the weeds because it has less lift and the narrow profile helps with not getting the blade fouled.
for example: the difference in application between a Bucher Slopmaster (colorado) and a Pearson Grinder (willow).

Warthog...built like a tank and slides through most weeds....MMBAITS are the best built, best performing spinnerbaits that I've used yet.....the Pearson Grinder (3oz, willow) is the best 'commercial' spinnerbait I've used.

Location: Hayward, WI | I haven't used all the baits you listed, but I've used the Rad Dogs a fair amount this year and really like them. They cone through leafy weeds like cabbage like nobody's business! They will pick up stuff like grass a little more easily, but still do well in it. You can also custom order them with your colors and blade options.

| I prefer the GP Thumper line of spinnerbaits. A bit 'bigger' in general than the others, which I like for Musky fishing, with shaft lengths that can be customized for the types of weeds you are fishing or depths you like to reach. That said, I prefer a fluted indiana for grinding through cabbage, a willow for going through junk, and a colorado for riding over the top of it. As far as over the counter stuff, I like the Grinders, Rad Dogs for standard use and Slopmasters and Fudally Candy spins for smaller lures. |

| I ordered some mmbaits spinnerbaits after reading about them on this site.
Received them yesterday, I have to say they are the most rugged looking things I've seen, very well made and good looking too. I got to fish them a little while Wednsday afternoon and they look really good in the water. Did'nt catch anything but did get a follow on the third cast. The Huey model uses a single #10 colorado blade, It's like reeling in something thats alive! Looking forward to giving them a real workout.
