Location: Long Prairie, Minnesota | Just wondering if anyone still uses spinnerbaits during the time of the year. I have a bunch of Ace spinnerbaits and love them in the summer, but have never tried them for late season, has anyone else? |

| Year around bait,under used year around bait. It’s just a question of speed and depth.

| Yes, when the water cools use a single blade and drop it down deep and hug the bottom. |

Location: SE, WI. | Yes; have different weighted heads, different designed heads that run deep and shallow for ease of running through cover, different blade combinations that allow deep and shallow presentations + different Sonics, and different hooking set ups, trebles, and single for year round applications!

Location: Walker, MN | Slow rolling a spinnerbait with some lifts and drops is a great way to get crushed in the fall. I have to mention...I wish the hook-ups were better. |

Location: SE, WI. | Masqui-ninja - 10/8/2024 6:45 AM Slow rolling a spinnerbait with some lifts and drops is a great way to get crushed in the fall. I have to mention...I wish the hook-ups were better. U are Correct Masqui; Lift drops are very effective Now in Fall. Your hook ups are poor because of the blade wire deflects off mouth after fish inhaled the bait. Very easy for fish to inhale the whole lure on a slack line drop. That blade arm is designed to keep hooks out of weeds, wood...ect. Thats what is occuring after your hook set. That is what makes Creature spins shine in the fall. No Wire detouring hook up on a jig. Just great hook-ups. Creature spins saved many a trips for us both in Northern Wi. and Canada.

| On my Bass sized lures I've cut the arm down to look more like the DickP Grinders. I hear a lot of talk of bad hook ups may be I've lucky but I've ruined a lot of old M&G's where I had to cut hooks to let my fish go. Like above I have all kinds of blades and jig weights and both single and double bladed lures. One thing I do is put a swivel clasp to change blades and on my singles I use a ball bearing for ease of spin and on my doubles I use a old style brass type for more thump. I use M&G's, Marv's, Rad Dawg's, and Northland spinnerbaits with Bucktail, silicon, Marabou, feathers, flashabou and some even with a giant twistetrail. |

| Big Tooth short arm spinner baits are excellent if you can find them. I have four that have been refurbished multiple times over the past 5 years.
