| I'm thinking about trying some spinnerbaits this year. Anybody have any good ideas on this? I mainly fish rivers but sometimes I venture off to a lake. I was checking out the Simms School & shad, And I saw some Big bladed spinnerbaits in the new Rollie & Helens. Any help would be great! How about cowgirls cousin, "CYCO SPINNER"
Thanks...Brian Gilmore

| I have one of the biggest schoolin' shads and it does look pretty cool in the water. It is a beast of a spinnerbait. My favorite is the terminator toothy critter, but you can't find those anymore. The rad dogs are easy to use and have a combination of silicone and flash. |

Location: Ogden, Ut | Rad Dogs and Violent Strikes have brought me the most success. I like the looks of Longtails but as of yet haven't scored a fish on them - just a matter of time though.

| There's a bazillion different types out there. I also use Raddogs, Black/Silver and White/Sllver. The single blade black/silver has been a good nighttime bait for me; one score was a 43"er on a figure 8 one dark night. The white/silver seems to work well in reeds during the day.

| I second the Long Tales. Nice bait and the custom colors are right on, and nice to deal with!! |
|
| |
|
| There is a good article in the latest issue of Esox Angler that explains the differences between many of the more popular sp-baits on the market this year. It's good info. If you're considering trying out sp-baits this season - read it. |

| Northland bionic bucktails rock (the old ones with the colorado blades, NOT the willow blades . . . not sure why they switched) -- I don't know what it is about them but they seem to do the trick!

Location: New Brighton, MN | I have a few of the newer northland bionic bucktails with the willow blades. Do you switch out the willow blades to colorado blades? If so, what size? |

| I personally like the Figure 8 Boss and Mini Boss. I almost always have one rod rigged with one of them.

Location: LOTW every chance I get | Not to highjack the thread, but how do you guys choose what weight of spinnerbait to throw in a given situation? I assume it has to do with depth and cover thickness, but i don't know where to start.

| Ace Tandems by far. I have caught more fish on those than any other bait. Jerry Oestreich makes them and they ROCK !!!!

| Good spinnerbaits are left out of every conversation. This one is no exception. Rob Kimm in the recent Esox Angler left out perhaps that best spinnerbait made of all, Willey's spinnerbaits out of West Virginia. I fish the T-5 and T-10 and do well. I buy them now only for the colors I don't have. They are extremely well built and produce fish after fish for me without getting beat up from the abuse. Five stars. Muskie Machinery also makes a excellent double #10 blade original (original). Duff |

| Willis, I change out the willow on the bionic bucktails with #8 colorados. |
