I've thrown a spinner bait before and was catching shoolies with consistency until a larger one totally destoyed the thing. They work but it is pretty hard to keep the bigger size fish on. The photo in my logo thingy is my fresh water set up. That fish is exactly 28" caught on a spinner bait. The hook barely survived that fish and I couldn't use it after that fish.

I made a big one a few years back and it slayed until I launched it into the abyss. They are real easy to make and work pissah.

There's a guy who makes spinners out of Ware, Ma. I'll check the packages when I get home. They look like monster roostertails (2 - 3 oz) I picked up 3 of them at the Standish Sportsman show in February, they'll throw a mile I can't wait to try them out.

Check out Cabela's. They carry a strike king spinner bait with reds in mind. I also think Wallyworld carries a spinner bait by Boone meant for saltwater. It looks about as tough as a boone needlefish.

I've tried it with mixed results.
The ones I had were from that site we talked about and I put new hooks on them.
I've debated making some out of plugwire and a serious siwash but havent gotten around to it.

The biggest complaint I hear from fresh water guys is the wire, there isn't a wire, including titanium, that can hold up to large mouth never mind stripers two or three time the size in weight. Theres a reason they use fresh spinner baits at tournaments, they don't trust the wire after a few good bass.

hi, I'm new to the sb.com, I'm now making spinnerbaits in 1 1/2oz -2 1/2oz size. these lures are huge and intended for musky,pike etc.. I"ve never used them on stripers yet, this spring wil be the first year, I"ve heard people were using smaller bass size 3/8-1/2oz and the stripers were twisting them up, that's because of the .035 wire, on mine the wire is a bit heavier at .051 gauge. I will soon be making 10" striper in-lines , 2-4oz. on .063gauge wire, be happy to give you guys and gals one if we happen to meet on the surf! or I mean the Hudson River, these lures aren't intended for the surf, but for river fishing for stripers. I mainly use traditional methods for surf fishing, plugs ,tins etc.. If you go to my pics albums you"ll see me holding fish taken on top water plugs. I'm also making casting jigs in 2oz. and 3oz. size really cool! I"ll have pics of them soon.

Halibut guys use them regularly. I made some spinners using canal jigs after watching a guy on a show make them for halibut. He was using ~8-10 oz bucktails, stainless wire, and some huge (maybe 6") blades. I am not sure how much better mine worked with the blade than without, but they caught fish.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

A long long time ago , a deadly trolling rig was an inline spinner bait with big old green clam worms. This was before the coming of the tube and worm.

I like it on the S/S stuby in white. Colorado blade works too. 3/0 treble on the belly hook
