mercman Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 i mean the "V" shaped spinners... as apposed to straight in line spinners... theres loads of large musky ones on the market... People seem to lose those big ones alot. I fished up 2 or 3 on the river here last year. Black and orange with black blades seem to be the easiest to lose.

manitoubass2 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 It's pretty funny that musky on spinnerbaits was brought up today. I went shore fishing with my kids for the fourth day in a row, still casting that black/silver tandem pot belly, and I caught my fourth rainy river musky! Just a baby, but man o man was it a gorgeous colored fish. Only got 4 bass today, so that musky really made my day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Anyone who's not using spinnerbaits (BIG) for musky is missing out on alot of very nice fish. I ALWAYS have a very large black/orange bait on one rod and it's ALWAYS the 1st bait I start tossing EVERY day and it's often the same bait I'm still throwing at the end of the day. I couldn't begin to know how many muskies I've caught with them when nothing else in the boat would even get a sniff from a fish. If your not using them, give em a try and you'll be very happy you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I have a few of them but have only used them a few times. Do you put a soft plastic on it too? Yeah, I normally put 2 plastic worms on them and usually about 7" long for each of them. I swap out the bottom single for a 7/0 treble and add an orange worm then add another to the single hook on top. This is an older pic but shows the difference in size compared to a bass bait. Not sure where the bottom worm is in this picture but it looks like it's folded up under the bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fish lakes with thick heavy slop [ie Kawarthas] I would think spinnerbaits would work great. They are relatively weedless, you can work em fast, work em slow... etc. I don't typically fish places with really heavy weeds or really shallow and prefer to use inlines but if/when I do they get the nod.

Squid Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 What!! no one mentions Slop masters as the go to bait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 That's kinda why I don't use em... Almost all the weedbeds on the st.lawrence are flatened out by current... Almost no standing weeds... So they have no advantage over other baits... From a design perspective... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definetely gotta give it a try more this year, especially with all the weeds in the waters I fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ainsley Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I've been using booyah spinner baits for a while now but really like the looks of those CL spinners. Do they only do online ordering or are they available at any tackleshops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenzy31 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Spinnerbaits were the only lure to put pike in the boat yesterday! Boated 2 on tandem blade, 3/4oz with green/yellow skirts. Chartruse blades on one and silver on the other. My first fish of any species on spinnerbaits and I owe to this thread for making me throw them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
