My wired spinnerbaits last so long I actually have to sharpen the hooks!

This looks to be very advantageous to those who reside in the north, as many fishermen around these parts use leaders...northern pike love spinnerbaits, and there are very few baits out there with a closed loop.
Re: Who still makes titanium spinnerbaits?
I use a med-large sized snap on most of my modified spinnerbaits and it hasn't really affected performance or catch rates. I can change out to a different lure quickly as well when on the yak this way...it's an advantage since I'm floating downstream all the while on most of waters I fish.Gone Phishin wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 1:47 pmGreat tip, thank you.mark poulson wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 8:02 pmI use 24 gauge floral wire to reinforce the R bend on my spinnerbaits, and they don't open.

Re: Who still makes titanium spinnerbaits?
jann's netcreaft has 3/8oz titanium spinnerbait heads. it says you have to heat them up when making the swivel loop. that sounds like a real trial & error thing to me, and they're $3 a pop
Re: Who still makes titanium spinnerbaits?
I got 3 Berkley dex ones. They're really good for smallies, and i really like the blades Berkley is using on these. The only negative is that because these blades are larger than standard, they helicopter often when fishing in windy conditions.

Re: Who still makes titanium spinnerbaits?
I fish the CA Delta, where it is always windy. I learned to sidearm and roll cast, to keep the bait under the wind.

Re: Who still makes titanium spinnerbaits?
I roll cast and sidearm cast most of the times no matter the weather. When comparing these to the likes of the Terminator T1's, they're simply not as good when casting at the wind. But when its not too windy, i prefer them over the T1's, which used to be my favorite spinnerbaits.mark poulson wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 3:27 pmI fish the CA Delta, where it is always windy.
