| What is everyone's favorite spinner bait? This is a style of bait i have not used much up until now. Do you like big blades, little blades, multiple blades? Thanks for your input. |

| JAW Baits - no longer available. Been babying my last few, along, but they have gotten pretty ratty. Probably not long for this world. |

| I don't know for sure but I think I've caught more muskies on Rad Dogs than any other bait I own. |

| Esox Customs are amazing! Had to dive to get one back on LOTW this year. Gerry Carroll makes great spinnerbaits too (bigbite on here). |

Location: NE Ohio | Oh yes, Archie from esox customs made the best, so now I have to modify Pearson grinders to run like his. I wish I would have found his sooner so I could have bought many many more. Best wishes my friend! |

Location: oswego, il | What is the modification, just curious. To me a spinnerbait is a tool for heavy cover. The grinder does a pretty good job getting through it. |

| I have had great success with Big Tooth Spinner baits. They are well made and really handle heavy cover.

Location: West Central WI | Slopmasters. I keep a half dozen in my box with different colors/modifications and one on a rod at all times for weeds. The weight design keeps weeds away from the hook as they go through. They work well in open water too. I add a good snap swivel for spinner blades and swap size, style, and color as needed. Smaller blades can be ripped real fast as compared to larger ones. Also add much larger tail such as an 8" Kalin's grub. When the bucktail eventually wears off, I add a new skirt. Throw the bait away only after the hook point has been sharpened where it is too short between point and barb. I've started adding weights for them to run deeper while still reeling fast. |

shorten the arm length from the line tie to the spinner blade attachment. esox's is shorter. |
