spinnerbaits/buzzbaits for stripers

[NIB]

I have a friend he an I where buzzbait finatics.he has been throwin em in the surf with good results.The wire does take a serious beating tho.
SS thats a hawg hunter.very good bait.Hank Parker won a classic with that as a Manns guy they went an bought the design from hawg hunter.So he could sell it under the Mann's sponsorship..
They make em pretty big over 1 oz that will certainly work fine in the surf..
I have caught striper's up to ten pounds on spinnerbaits. fishing in the Chesapeake bay system for LMB..

Jim they'll take them theyre just over grown perch any how. I put a stinger hook on the blade itself, lots of times they'll be slamming the blades and you cant hook up, just just want that SPARKLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well ..... funny you asked ......... I made some for trolling. I couldn't find a proper spinner bait that I liked so I adapted a 4 and 6 oz spire point mold to accept the wire. THen I used .092 (i think) ss welding wire and molded it. I still have to bend the wire and paint most of them. I have a variety of different blades to try ....... the 1 has a massive blade that's about 4" across and 4 or 5 " long. I'm using the nylon hair and tying it like a parachute rig with a little glow paint and glow hair added in to add a little more life in the dingy waters we have here in the Chesepeake ........... I casted about 5 but I haven't tied them yet ........ I'll have them ready in about a month when we go into trophy season ........ I'll try to get one done early and post a picture if anyone is interested ........ let me know

Boone make some spinnerbaits in smaller weights. you can see them on their website. Goggle Boone Bait Co. They look like they would handle smaller fish but I don't know about keeper fish. We had them at the shop a couple of years ago but they didn't move well.

I can't wait to throw these. If all goes to plan, I'll cast it a mile, let it drop for a 10count, reel it in about 10 cranks and boom - fish on.

reality - bail closes early, lure snaps off, and I go back to chunking with a high/lo rig.

I've used them during the winter and caught stripers right next to ice pack.....go figure. You want them to last, I'd buy the titanium wire from Bass Pro, they won't bend...stripers are tough on anything else.
