Spinnerbaits?

I bring so many lures with me on my Musky trips that the spinnerbaits are not getting in the rotation that much. I have a nice little collection of grinders that I didn't even make a cast with yet. Is a spinnerbait always a second or third choice lure or do some start off with them as their go to lure? Also will they get the females attention?

Thanks,
Tony

Depends on the conditions and location. When I'm in weeds I'll throw a grinder or rad dog pretty regularly. I don't care for colorado blade spinners because I like to run deeper. I picked up a 5 oz grinder that I'm pretty excited about.

Location: Northwest Wisconsin		I generally start out with a spinnerbait on. I really like to slow roll them in the deep weeds. I have become partial to ghosttail spinnerbaits.

Location: Northern Wisconsin		I feel the same way, I have plenty of nice looking spinner baits but barely throw them.

Location: big cove tannery pa		I have a few that i throw pretty regularly. Actually my voodoo tail spinnerbait is one of my top lures that i consider a goto lure. I fish alot of downed trees so they are a necessity.

Thanks for all of the replies!

I'm going to try my 3 oz Black & Orange Grinder casting and trolling in the weeds this afternoon.

Some guys sling blades and others dont, and I am not talking about bucktails.

I dont really have a "go to lure". It all depends on where I'm fishing and under what conditions. I have certain lures I like to throw under certain conditions, of which one of them a lot of the time is a spinner bait, but I dont really have "a" or a single "go to" bait that I reach for steady. Anyone who's stuck on a single style of bait and uses it as their first choice everywhere is really missing out on the big picture when it comes to lure selection. Spinner baits are a great and very versatile lure and deserve a their fair share of time in the water by every muskie fisherman.
