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.

Even the saltwater grade baits straighten under the strain of less than impressive stripers. You need to buy the in-line muskie versions.. those other ones will be trashed after 1 to 4 bass.

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.

That might actually work because the lead-head is free swinging... I just wonder if that's big enough...

I was just watching a show not to long ago that was using booyah spinner baits for some good size reds and they looked to be holding up all right.
