You NEVER Knew this ABOUT SPINNERBAIT Fishing (Fall & Winter Bass Cheats)

[@randallford8199]

Another good lesson

[@daviddriscoll1798]

Great info!!! I caught several large small mouth bass bouncing spinner bait off fallen trees in rivers like you mentioned.

Spinner baits are money, it has been one of my favorite baits since I got a S.O.B. Spinner bait with my 1972 BASS membership.

I'm with ya man I'm 3/4 to a 1oz up in Northeast TN.

[@stevebender7614]

Funny I just went back to a spinner bait BUT I am still getting skunked ( central fla , ) I am trying a few different ones I know they caught some monsters in St. John’s last year bass masters I guess I will keep trying at least a few more times until I have to lock them up for another year lol , thanks for the great videos always and tips

[@mikeybalzz]

stay with it man. usually takes a litle cool weather in FL to get that blade bite rolling this time of year.

[@stevebender7614]

Thank you !!! I will pretty determined this time lol last year had seen Rick clunn catch monsters on spinner baits in the St. John’s !!! Thanks again love the vids !!!

[@markchevrier8545]

There is one combination that you did not talk about that has been money for me over the years. I call it a thumper. A 3/4 or 1 ounce with a single giant #8 Colorado blade. It thumps when you retrieve it. Your rod tip will look and feel like a wide wobbling crankbait. I slow roll these over weed beds and drop offs in open water and fish crush it. I learned about it from a buddy of mine on Guntersville a few years ago. It works everywhere I have tried it. It is also a great combo to throw in muddy or stained water. The only disadvantage to it is that it vibrates so much that they don't last long and it seems to cause the wire to fatigue over time. I like to use it on a lighter wire bait as it just seems to work and vibrate better. It is at the expense of the lifespan of the bait. However it is well worth it when they are crushing it. Love your videos keep up the good content. I watch them all.

[@mikeybalzz]

that sounds cool - kinda like a super chatterbait thumping and calling them up.

[@markchevrier8545]

It works man give it a shot. Shout out to Bogs man! Love him.

Do you use trailers? If when, what plastics and colors

[@hooksetflex]

MIKEY keep dropping that knowledge THANK YOU 💯

[@alfanydiaz809]

Here in GA I can literally see the bass hanging out with the bluegills. I throw my fail safe bait which is the wacky worm finesse. I throw far in order to avoid scaring them and retrieve slowly but they don’t even stop to look at the worm. I use spinner baits with a silver spoon and they’re not attracted. I am thinking of trying live minnows and a red float. At least I still have fun seen them growing for summer.

[@n0myst3ry]

Dude perfect timing, I am just getting into spinnerbait fishing and caught a nice one with it the other day, at least 3 lb (forgot my scale)

[@seanwood4032]

Stick with it I've caught alot of big fish on them. Also idk if you know but they're incredibly weedless of you don't use a trailer hook. Don't be afraid to throw it deep into the jungle.

[@n0myst3ry]

@@seanwood4032 I'll definitely be throwing them a lot more often and looking forward to those brutal chomps. The couple catches I've had with them, they knocked the daylights out of it!

[@mikeybalzz]

nice props!

[@warrenlouisiana2277]

Hi bob

[@tomhoward3186]

Nice video Mikey. Great info and dead on. That looks sooo much like First Creek that you're filming on. Towards the back of it. Maybe it's on Wilson or Pickwick, but I don't think they draw Smith down that much...

[@dirtlegchaser2424]

yea its gets pulled down a pretty good bit. its not so bad right now but itll get lower

[@elmadriz]

Mike, I’m 45, and this year I went for another go at bass fishing. I had tried before but with moderate success I would lose interest. Last December when I got the fishing bug I started having more success because of the internet. I have learned a ton from several you tubers. I am having a blast catching fish. Now I live in south Florida, like south of lake O. Most of the videos I see are understandably catered to the whole country, eg 4 seasons. But here in sou flow as you well know we don’t have that. So what I really like about your videos is you always really thing to Florida fishing. Like whew you said in this vid that in Florida we use 50 pound braid when fishing the spinner bait. Keep that up please. I have leaned so much from you videos. Maybe do a video on the spawn in south Florida or the south Florida fishing season? Thanks again for sharing the knowledge and the stoke! Tight lines.

[@SWCFLORIDA]

We live on lake Okeechobee. Check out some of our videos. We have been killing it at Headwaters lake. Keep on fishing

[@mikeantes9597]

Great video!! This has to be the most in depth spinner bait video I ever saw thanks Mike great job. I think that short bent spinner bait is just called a short arm spinnerbait.thanks again. God Bless

[@walter992]

On our lakes up here in the NW Florida panhandle, when it is cloudy and rainy a spinner bait is the ticket.

[@capitolbassfishing]

the only problem with watching your videos is I always leave thinking "damn, I dont know shit!" I really appreciate the knowledge you share. Youre upfront, humble and funny. You should be 500k plus subs in my opinion. Keep em coming. Thanks.

[@kennethlowy1864]

Pretty good video.....I’m from California and the Delta is my backyard. Another thing that has caught a lot of fish for me is using a very large single Colorado blade on a red or black spinnerbait and fishing down a tule bank and letting the Colorado blade helicopter down to the 4 to 8 foot depths and semi slack line. Short lining a spinnerbait. Oh yah......I’m SOOOOO glad you got Bog back in the videos. He’s just a super star. I’m that old guy (73) from Brentwood, California who wrote to you not long ago and you answered me. Thank you,,,,cause you’re kind of a superstar in my book. You’re a lot of fun to watch and you don’t get “bogged down” when you talk. You move quickly and I like that. Ken Lowy. Brentwood Ca.

[@mikeybalzz]

Thanks Ken!!!!

[@ermannodangelo1062]

Another great video, you should be on Bass University.

[@jasonlopez4855]

The old striking finesse spinner baits they copy it. From H&H spinner lure company I got some original one's. It has a leather band holding on to the skirt that is buck. Coming back to the new one's I do like them good for beginners snag less for me. Nice video clean straight forward.

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Great video my friend. Spinnerbaits have caught more fish than probably any other lure. Go to bait for years. Bass just can’t let one go by without chasing them. Fish on.

[@SWCFLORIDA]

And thanks for the shout out in your livestream. Let’s go fish.

[@petemidkiff2089]

I usually do not get snagged on a tree with spinner bait. But mostly on abandoned throw, or trotlines. Other than that, I was in the boat with one of my wife's friends no experience handed her a Zebco 33 with a shad colored spinner and just said just keep casting this and reel it in. She caught her first fish from a boat and using an artificial lure. After that she was through fishing for the day.

[@ericbrandon6504]

Love your videos! Plus we have the same dog lol 😂

[@mikeybalzz]

[@ryancoleman9580]

Thanks for including our Mini-Me Spinnerbaits Mike. Really appreciate it and glad you like the bait. These baits are made by me at SpotSticker Baits here in North Georgia and can be bought off our website at spotsticker.com. We make them in 3/8,1/2,3/4 and 1oz. All hand painted and durable finishes. All high end components. .. Great video again and some great information in there...... Let me know if I can answer any questions on the Mini-Me.......

[@brandonsmith606]

Great video Mikey I've really got into spinnerbaits this year mainly because most guy's don't throw them around here

[@joshwhite9952]

Here on the the TVA , ol'school spinnerbait guys used to throw em on an ol' 5'6 pistol grip rod . Lol , that was a little before my time . I like a 6'6 medium heavy fast to throw my spinnerbaits on - Super accurate casts !!! Keep up the best vids on the Tube Mikey !!!

[@davidbrown-55]

Great vids boss. Legit tips and tactics with no jokes. Ever try the DeathShimmer spinnerbait? My buddy invented it.

[@mikeybalzz]

no i haven't. definitely unique looking. what's the concept behind it?

[@davidbrown-55]

It’s pretty crazy. The curvy down arm let’s it vibrate like a chatterbait.

[@mikeybalzz]

@@davidbrown-55 do you have issues with the arm breaking because it has all the curves?

[@davidbrown-55]

believe it or not I haven’t. It will twist a little but I just tune it back in. It’s pretty descent. I’m a double bladed guy but this spinnerbait in solid white with single gold Colorado seems to be my favorite.

[@dondieselfishing4748]

I am so glad I'm not alone on the trailer hook thing.

[@rdfishing2886]

I have been torn about getting the blade coffin. Seeing it packed is a bonus. War eagles are awesome. My blade of choice. Thanks for a great video!

[@rosshall312]

Bass see green n red better than any color ,.

[@LukeyFilms]

You ever use plastic trailers?

[@stevenbrown7560]

Enjoyed the video and the spinnerbait tackle tour. One I have had luck in the fall on when the shad are small and the bite is tough is the Rooster Tail version of a spinnerbait. It is light wire and gets torn up easily but it will get bit when bigger full skirt spinnerbaits won't.

[@spinnerbait3094]

Good video Mikey. Covered all the bases. Not only are you a good teacher, but you do have very, very good marketing skills. I bought some of the beefed up ned- heads you were plugging. I don't mean anything bad when I say ( very very good marketing skills ) but man I bet you could sell ice to an Eskimo. Lol. Good luck Mickey.

[@brianbochow]

I see a lot of Bass Elite pro's are using those spinnerbaits out of Australia named Bassman Spinnerbaits...Have you heard of them before and if so how do you rate them???

[@mikeybalzz]

never heard of those but i've been loving almost any compact blade bait lately.

[@brianbochow]

@@mikeybalzz Carl Jocumsen and Seth Felder uses them in the Bass Elite series.They are Australian designed compact spinnerbaits well worth having in your box especially for Smallmouth...regards B.J.

Awesome video man! I due the same for my spinnerbaits and chatter baits put in the mafia box

[@55Dag]

Good video again. I always have on a spinnerbait because they are so versatile. I'm kinda surprised you didn't say anything about putting a trailer on. I put a 4.75 rage swimmer on a lot of the time and it gets me better fish.

[@VitalFishing]

yeahhh buddy

[@jimwarden9617]

When the wind blows that’s when I throw the spinnerbait. Almost always with a trailer hook. I’m a long time KVD type guy. Hey Bog!

[@treytrey8214]

For lots of bites, or small mouth, smaller blades, double willow leaf's, for giants, and I do mean giants, big number 6 and 7 willow leaf's, with 4 willow leaf or a smaller Colorado. Big 3/4 or even 1 ounce, I never use a half or 3/8 unless I'm fishing parallel in shad spawn or at night. Those big blades move a tremendous amount of water. Rick clunn taught me this trick and damn it works phenomenal. Another key with the heavier baits, especially in your dirtier water around lay downs, you let it knock into everything you can, and make as much noise as you can. Brings em to you from further away. I think it annoys them more then hunger strike. Those big blades are overlooked and a big tip to alot of people that don't use it. It don't work as good with your Colorado blades for me anyway. And you cant use those big blades on smaller weight, frame baits. Think dobyns, Stanley wedge type baits. Big

[@Showmethefish]

How many big blades are you stacking on the arm...?

[@treytrey8214]

@@Showmethefish just 1 big willow leaf then smaller 4 or 5 willow or smaller colorado blade. You don't really need 2 or want to fish it all day. That would make it pull even harder. But 1 blade thumps big time.

[@jimwarden9617]

Bog butt...lol!

If you can’t find the rocket shad H&H makes a similar spinnerbait that you can trim the skirt on

[@Mjones8383]

You can put a small stinger hook on that multi blade spinnerbait blade and you'll get more hook ups

[@geh3505]

Strike King Rocket. Fastest s b you will ever fish

[@trevjfish7633]

Hey Mikey what external mic do you use for your GoPro?

[@EliteNugz]

I'll be honest. I live in eastern ky. I've caught many double digit bass my biggest being 14lbs. But all the giants I've caught was on live rainbow trout which technically is illegal. I fish a clear highlands reservoir. I've used big swimbaits and a rigs and never caught anything over 6lbs. What would be my best bet at catching those pre spawn giants legally. The problem is if I get the state record it won't count.

[@dysonweaver4495]

Those little spinnerbaits are called strikeking rocket shads and yes they still make them

[@treytrey8214]

For inquiring minds that never thrown spinner baits much, or any, I use a heavy action Duckett sverado 7ft3 on 20 pound fluro. If I just fished wood I would drop down to 15, but I fish a lot of rip rap and natural rock and boulders and if you don't retie often on lighter line you'll get yore heart broke, trust me I know. I lost a 6 plus pounder one day right at the boat, line broke, and I said never again. Fishing a spinner bait for me is normally in stained enough water they don't care about the line. Smallmouth spinner bait fishing is different though. I use 15 pound fluro, but I use small blades and heavy heads and burn the shit out of em. Drives em nuts.

[@brettsheppard810]

I like how he explains how to use all his lures and when and where to use them instead of just throwing them awesome content man. The bite here in West Virginia is rough but we keep going.

Here is a brain teaser. Since you mentioned blue gill spinnerbaits. Do you think fish in the fall that eat blue gills are bigger since blue gills are typical bigger then Shad this time of year?👀👀👀

[@DewDrinker87]

Speaking of the red... I saw some study done that said bass predominately see variations of green and red.
