Spinnerbait advice required

[robfisher]

Best advice is buying decent Spinnerbaits… I made the mistake of buying a few cheapies recently. First throw with one of them I hooked a 3kg plus and when it jumped I put pressure on the line and all of a sudden the line went slack? There is no way it was a snap off because I was using new InvizX 12lb which is awesome line! When I reeled in the knot was perfect and the loop around the non-existent spinnerbait was perfect… the cheap kak spinnerbait had just snapped… I went to the shop to tell them not to sell that kak and they told me they had had similar complaints!

:evil: :twisted: :eusa_boohoo:

Don't Varkenelli have spinnerbait? I use the new strike king KVD finesse and they are the bomb. We also have a connection who custom makes for us in PMB.

They do indeed but at R180 they are pricey... I now use them! :eusa_dance:

Hi Rob, I find they quite soft, the fish bend them every time, sure one can bend back into shape, I just found that a bit odd

War Eagle Spinner Baits

Custom hand-tied skirts won't slip or get pulled out of place, and Mustad Ultra Power Point Hooks deliver rock solid hooksets and super fast penetration. The choice of Bassmaster Elite Series pros, Gerald Swindle, Kelly Jordan and Mike McClelland, the War Eagle Spinnerbaits are made in America with the highest quality components availableby people who fish.

The War Eagle Finesse Spinnerbait was designed by pro angler Mike McCelland to catch a quick limit of fish. The compact size of the Finesse Spinnerbait will generate those extra bites during tough fishing conditions. The Finesse Spinnerbait features a dual length Bass Eagle pro series skirt, Mustad Ultra Power Point hook, and Sampo swivels. All these quality components is the reason why War Eagle is one of the most productive spinnerbaits on the market.

Mike McClelland finished 4th in the 2009 Bassmaster Classic while fishing the 3/8-ounce War Eagle Finesse Spinnerbait.

Yip they really do... I guess it's a case of quality costs a little but the result is worth it.

I now buy less but spend more... baits, rods and reels. It's the way forward! :eusa_dance:

Thanks Guys - I really appreciate all the info. I picked up 3 spinner baits today.
Berkley Dark Zone - Charade and a Booyah. I didn't see any of the fancy names but I'm cool with what I've got.
I also picked up a couple of Berkley Football and Flipin Jigs.- Zara Spook - Rapala X-Rap poppers - and some Flukes in very interesting colours.
I also bought one of those Daiwa Spincast reels so I can get away with using a "coffee grinder" without looking like a pap gooier - and I can use it on a rod without those big 'coffee grinder" eyes.
Can't wait to duck out of life tomorrow morning to try out my new toys. :eusa_dance:
I'll be at Le Bonheur(Paarl) at 9:00 when they open - Anyone want to give the rat race the finger tomorrow morning? :eusa_shhh:
