I don't ever put trailors on my spinnerbait..if ya want alot of bass..go with 1/8th ounce..
Fish them slow Aaron...just fast enough to keep the blade moving and spinnerbait upright..when you reel fast..it tends to go sideways..1.4 ounce or bigger gets bigger bass and i use 3/8 ounce when hawg hunting only..but the numbers decrease..
My favorite color is white with either some red or black mived in it..I like willow leaf blades best and Indiana blades least..
Most spinnerbaits now are set up with a Tandom setup..
A willow in back with a tiny Indiana or Colorado blade in front...I use that type. I've caught about 100 bass on spinnerbaits..My son Aaron got a 6 1/2 polunder on one.My biggest on a spinnerbait is about 4 pounds...but lots of 2 - 2 1/2 pounders..good tournament lure to cover alot of structure water fast.
I love Strike King spinnerbaits..here is a double willow leaf.
