Choosing the correct spinnerbaits is important because spinnerbaits must match the conditions of a water and the fish. If you use the wrong type of spinnerbait for the conditions of the water or the fish, the fish may not bites your spinnerbait. Booyah produces many different type of spinnerbaits that is ideal for different conditions.
Spinnerbaits with double willow blade is ideal for many people who fish because the willow blades will spin quick to create alot of flash. Willow blades are long and narrow, so they will slice through the clear water. These types of blades are ideal for use in open water because they will provide maximum flash without getting tangle in the sparse cover in the water.
How to Choose the Right Spinnerbait
Silver blade will mimic the movement of shad, so these can be used on sunny days. Additionally, since there are many different weights of willow blades, these can be used for both light casts as well as for heavy pulls along the bottom of the water column. If the water are stained or if there is a lot of wind in the area, you should use spinnerbaits with a rattle chamber.
The rattle chamber will create vibrations that will help fish to locating the spinnerbait in the water. The use of both the blades and the vibrations of the rattle chamber is helpful in locating the spinnerbait in areas with flats or drop-off in the water. Additionally, the vibrations will help to trigger strikes from fish that is skittish of fishing gear.
Depending on the type of fishing you do, there are also specialized spinnerbaits that will work best for those situation. If you are fishing in farm pond, ultralight spinnerbaits will work best. These are small enough to attract panfish and crappie in these environment.
Additionally, if you are trying to fish for pike or musky fish, you should use spinnerbaits that is heavy with oversized blades that can withstand the teeth of these fish. If you are fishing at night, spinnerbaits with glow skirt will work best for increasing the visibility of the spinnerbait in the dark water. One of the main factor to consider for spinnerbaits is the blade shape.
If the blades are willow shaped, they will vibrate quickly with little side to side movement. These types of spinnerbaits will work best for ripping the bait through a current in the water. Round blades has a wider profile and will deliver a widerer thump to the water.
These types of blades are helpful when slow rolling a spinnerbait through thick vegetation. Tandem blades will double the amount of flash create by the spinnerbait. These types of spinnerbaits will work best when fishing where fish schools.
Additionally, the finish of the blades matter as well. Gold blades work well in stained water environment such as bays. Silver blades work best in clear water.
Painted blades work best for anglers who fish on overcast days. Another factor to consider when choosing a spinnerbait is the environment. If the water contain heavy weeds, use a spinnerbait with a snag resistant head so that it can move through the lily pads in the water.
If you are fishing for schooling bass in open water, use an umbrella-style spinnerbait that have multiple hooks to increase the likelihood of hooking the bass. Spinnerbaits work best for murky rivers with heavy rattle that the fish can feel from a distance. However, if the water is cold and a front has just moved in the area, fish for the bottom with a finesse spinnerbait.
The color of the spinnerbait should match the food that the fish eat. If you want to mimic shad, use silver-grey spinnerbaits in clear lake. If the water are murky, use bright chartreuse spinnerbaits.
If you live in a lake with weedy areas where the fish eat crawfish, use colors like dark purple or green. Two-tone spinnerbaits with colors like white and chartreuse work best when fishing during low light periods. Additionally, you can add trailers to spinnerbaits.
For instance, a paddle-tail swimbait will increase the thump of the spinnerbait, whereas a pork chunk trailer will add more bulk to the spinnerbait. Finally, consider the weight of the spinnerbait and the strength of you’re fishing line. If you are doing finesse fishing, use a lighter spinnerbait.
Use a heavier spinnerbait if you have to fish against the wind or at great depth in the water. Make sure that your fishing line can hold the fish that you are trying to catch. Most angler use between 12 and 20 pound fluorocarbon lines.
When you rig your spinnerbait correctly and choose the correct type of spinnerbait for the conditions in which you are fishing, your spinnerbait will work effective to catch the fish you want.
