Re: What makes a good spinnerbait?
A good spinnerbait will provide flash and vibration which are the key elements for a spinnerbait but most of us began making our own because we couldn't buy what we were looking for off the shelf like certain colors or blade configurations. A great spinnerbait (for my fishing) has alot of flash and a ton of vibration along with different color, something that the fish haven't seen, the vibration part is done by using quality swivels with light wire and the flash comes from using highly polished blades, most spinnerbaits that you buy that aren't titanium have a heavy wire so the lures are a little more durable but they sacrifice vibration but it's understandable because who wants to spend 5 bucks for a lure that may break after catching a few fish. Most will make baits specific to the bodies of water they fish so they can match the size and color to the predominant forage, I started to make them because I couldn't find a bait that I could fish in moving water (rivers) without rolling over or burn it just below the suface without the bait doing the same thing. These are qualities that make a good bait better.
