- Come underwater and learn to fish a spinnerbait! Look at the bass’ perspective as we compare different baits and trailers under water! The spinnerbait is a staple in bass fishing but many anglers don’t know how to use them effectively. Come below the surface and learn how subtle differences between baits and trailers can be the difference between catching bass and just going fishing.
Spring spinnerbait fishing can be amazing! Some anglers swear they’re the greatest baits ever made, while others insist they can’t get bit with them. How can different anglers have such different experiences? Matt insists the keys are in the subtle differences between baits. Pay close attention as Matt discusses bait size, color, trailer selection, and so much more in this in-depth look at spinnerbait fishing.
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and trailers discussed in the video. The guys have included their favorite colors and sizes for each, as well as some of the gear they use to throw them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

#Spinnerbait #underwater #bassfishing - Sport
who else is watching this at work?
Great lecturer - no "ums", no repeating yourself, just flowing experience and knowledge. Man, you're amazing at this.
Also no Right? Like right? Biggest pet peeve of Todd Castledine. He has great vids but right???
He's an excellent speaker. Whenever I make a video I have to make a TON of edits. Matt talks for over a half an hour and barely ever trips himself up. It's amazing.
I’m that guy. I had a 50+ bass day throwing a spinner bait a few years ago. It was amazing. I literally haven’t caught a single spinnerbait fish since that day. Thank you for the video Matt!
Cap
This video is a prime example of how experience and knowledge can come together to improve the use of a fishing technique.: I think good fishermen and women are naturally obsessive as well as tenacious. Those qualities, combined with a video like this that "does the homework for you" on a topic such as spinnerbaits (generally), sure cuts to the chase, and gets people of any bass fishing level and competency on the right track quickly, or serves to comfirm their own experience and knowledge.
Matt,,my health has kept me off the water for the past two years and thankfully I'm living vicariously through you and Tim,,,you guys are also anti-depresents lol
I love the really old footage!!! You guys are still very much the same people, but have grown so much when it comes to being "CZcamsrs". Never change, you guys are THE best!
You and Tim keep teaching. It's up to us to keep learning. Your passion is a joy to see!
I caught my first bass on a spinnerbait about 4 years ago in the spring with white painted blades because you matt told us it was time to throw the painted blades. A 3lb 7oz bass in a public pond my p.b. at the time. Thanks for all you guys do.
thats cool right there
Id hope ur first bass was ur pb lol
Matt, I've become a chatterbait freak but, I used to love spinner baits and your video has inspired me to get back on them.
Last year a buddy and I were struggling, fish were locked down... but I had watched last years spinnerbait vid and decided to drag one through some grass patches.... and got 1 whole fish... made the whole day
That's exactly the reason I stay turned to this channel. Full of info with so much detail. I will pay more attention designing and making my spinnerbaits. Thanks so much.
I've been using spinners for years but never could figure out the nuances between them, until now. This is a great informational video, lots of info to go into my box, so to speak. Good work!
You can hear the love and excitement for spinnerbaits in Matt’s voice I love it
Thank you, Matt. this may be the best, most comprehensive breakdown of spinnerbaits I have ever seen. Great work...and do tend to that wound. Thanks!
Best spinnerbait video I’ve seen Matt. I don’t know if it’s a record for you, I caught my first bass on a spinnerbait in 1957 in a small farm pond, hooked from then on. Use to custom make my own. I watch different video’s of yours all the time. Yes, I’m a real antique! Thanks
As someone who’s got their first tournament coming up this is exactly what I needed. You guys are the best out here.
Same here. First tournament in 2 weeks!! Really nervous though..
My guy, you are by far the best person to get instructions from. You give great explanation to detail, and you're passionate about it! Slow clap to you sir and tight lines 🎣
Awesome video Matt! You can definitely tell when you are extra excited about a particular lure category. I found a Shad spawn by accident in the Pit arm of Shasta a few springs ago and it was lights out. I thought I had a bleeder fish in the afternoon but it turned out, my thumb was bleeding from shredding it on lipping spotted bass all day! I wish I would have thought of trying a spinnerbait but mine came on an 2.5 LC American Shad, hence the flash you mentioned since it was sunny and windy. Thanks again Matt.
Best fishing info. Channel out there 🔥 🔥 🔥 thanks for all your guys work!!!
Just caught my first two spinnerbait fish before seeing your videos on them. I don't think anyones throwing them at this pond. Thanks for being such a great educator on lures and designs.
Last year's spinnerbait video hooked me on y'all and have come along way in a short time thanks to you guys so keep 'em coming and thanks
Best bass fishing channel hands down! Thanks Matt this was really informative 🎣
I don't care how many videos you make the spinnerbait videos are my favorite, actually all tactical videos are!
Switched to Largo shads for my trailers after watching Tim talk about it for underspins..needless to say..I'm sold!
Great info as usual Matt. I’ve been one of those guys that has stopped using them for the most part, but going to pick it up again the next time I go out.
I caught my first 3lb+ on a FLW rabbit dog spinnerbait and most of my 6lb+ bass spinner baits in general. The only reasons I give them a nod over senko style worms is because of the ease of use and the ability to attract bass not necessarily in the area you casted in. Thanks for the video.
Thank you, Matt. Always have struggled with spinnerbaits, made some adjustments after watching this (several times) and stuck a 3-11
The first lure I ever caught a fish on was a spinnerbait. I caught 5 bass that day before the skirt got tore up. I was hooked for life and a spinnerbait has remained one of my favorite lures to use over most others ever since. That was 26 years ago.
Glad to see you hitting on the Nichols Pulsator spinnerbaits. I just ordered about 4 of them, they should be here today. I even got one of the JT's Best Color Ever, figured it might be a great color here in Florida.
Love your channel. I got out of fishing over the last couple of years, but your videos have inspired me to get back on the water. Keep up the great work. Your channel should have at least 2m subs by the way.
Incredibly detailed and helpful video. Appreciate you sharing this with us
I agree I have boxes of spinnerbaits for smallmouth fishing. They never failed me and I always most of the time have a swimbait on the spinnerbaits I love the terminator
I’ve always had trouble with spinnerbaits with the exception of the strike king rocket shad but after watching this video I understand a little more about these baits
👏👏Thank you Matt,that was absolutely incredible 🔥🔥
Spinnerbait is my first confidence lure. Spinner can get through light grass and more weedless than a chatterbait.
Awesome 35 minute seminar on spinnerbaits.
Your channel is much better than some of the other channels. You and bassfishingHQ are my two new go-to
Wow, love this vid Matt. Was just watching your spinner bait vid from last year this week. Haha Totally agree on the angle thing. Love KVD, but his custom ones ran with the blades way behind that have been around.
You and I could talk about tackle for several days and not get tired
Good tips and awesome footage here Matt. I wish you guys were around back when I was hanging out in tackle shops trying to con advice out of the old dudes. I feel you on spinner baits. I still love to hate spinner baits. I use to hate them with a passion until one year I decided I was going to learn them. I ended up with boxes and boxes of spinner baits too. Now, I can catch fish on a spinner bait pretty consistently. It's pretty cool, and funny when I can give friends the same spinner bait that I'm catching fish on, and they won't be able to "buy a bite".
Once again awesome video with great info. Thanks for the hard work
the fishing tackle sickness shows . Love it
Good Info Brother !! I luv throwing a spinnerbait :-) Nothing like watching one chase it and NAIL IT ...
Spinner bait is my first love and will always be my go to lure. Pond hopping with a single Colorado blade or duel willows. No trailer nor a stinger. A buzz bait is my second love.
Very knowledgeable on spinner bait fishing. Enjoyed it very much, thanks
Not sure if this type of video gets the most likes or views but it’s my absolute favorite (deep dive into one bait). Thanks !
My ALL TIME favorite bait! When it comes down to a quick trip to the water when you only grab a rod and 1 bait, I grab a spinnerbait. When I can't seem to catch anything all day, I grab a spinnerbait. I will never not have a spinnerbait with me. This is the video I've been waiting on for so long. I picked up on stove new tips and and tricks which is why I love this channel. Thanks and keep up the great work!
@CodySeale I'm in the "cant get one on a spinnerbait" group. What is your go-to?
@@dovejoshua Just last weekend I caught one on a green pumpkin color with a bluegill colored Kytec trailer, but most of the time its white with a little silver mixed in the skirt somewhere. I found one last year like I've never seen before so I bought it just because it was different. It has 4 smaller willow blades. 4-5 cast in the first time throwing it, i caught a 2½ lb bass
@@codyseale Nice! Thanks for the tips and the quick reply. I'm going to try again in the morning.✌🏾
@@dovejoshua Awesome, me too. Good luck
@@codyseale Likewise
Great great video Matt! I love throwing a spinnerbait. You can flat out throw it where you can’t throw other baits. I like you find myself throwing white with double willow silver blades 90% of the time. I prefer NO trailer though. Unless I’m specifically targeting laydowns. Muddy I go chartreuse and white with a silver main blade and gold little blade. That’s it. You did make me go buy a bright orange with orange blades though! 😞. I fish the Potomac River and when it’s muddy, look out boys! Keep up the great work Matt! Your amazing at what you do.
My favorite trailer is a strike king cutter worm. War eagle finesse and boo yah covert are my favorites spinner baits. Definitely going to have to give some of these spinner baits a try
We fish in very grassy dams where i live in South Africa so a trailor hook doesn't work. If they short strike my spinnerbait i cast a 5 inch yum dinger to the same spot and MAN it works! I believe a follow-up bait like a senko is the money...Great video Matt. Would LOVE you guys coming to South Africa and fish with us mere mortals. Zure yoy will love the fishing here as the private dams i fish has no fishing pressure My son and i csught over 40 bass in 3 hours this past Saturday. Tight lines!!
Really needed this video! Thanks Matt.
Thank you Matt! Made a lot of sense with what I have been seeing - working with lately
Spinner bait is unmatched! I caught so many 5+ fish in Michigan last spring on those bad bois!
The megabass tk twister and tk jr have become my favorite trailer. It's subtle, but has some heft to fill the skirt out.
This video gets me pumped to throw a spinnerbait this spring. Still got ice on the lakes in southern MN.
You are so right about that Gamakatsu hook. Of course it’s perfect. Mr perfectionist designed. RIP Aaron Martens, miss you bro
We agree totally! We sell a lot of spinnerbaits and trailer hooks.
Caught 40 on a chartreuse War Eagle screaming Eagle last trip out. Chartreuse blades, head and skirt. They bit that color way better than anything else. Made me a believer in chartreuse on a cloudy, windy day around grass.
Thank you. I’ve been afraid to throw the spinner bait bc I wasn’t sure which to use , after watching this I’m ready to go and try them out. Can’t wait to try them next week
I have had all of my luck with $1 white Walmart spinner baits. I figured I'd try them, and because of the price I wasn't afraid to lose them if they got snagged. It's worth a try definitely
I needed this so badly Matt. Much thanks
I learned so much from this, something I found for myself throwing a spinnerbait in colder water is to put a fluke on the back to get a nice little flickering tail on it and I matched my bait to have smaller blades to match the threadfin in my like and with a full size profile within 10 minutes I jacked a 4
Thanks Matt, huge help, also love them sv3, pricey but cool.
I’ve had good success with these for catching bass, but pike also seem to love these.
Great detailed video sir thank you very much.
Love your videos. You’re one of my favorites. That being said, I find myself laughing every time you say… “I’m just gonna tell you that” 😂
But definitely don’t stop saying that just because I’m picking on you a little bit. It’s just me pushing buttons. I do that to people I like and know they know it’s all in fun.
I’m just gonna tell you that. Lol 😂
That might be my new saying.
Keep the great videos coming man.
Matt, IMO the YUM Pulse swimbait has a tail kick like the Storm Largo Shad, check them out. They also have ridges on the sides that make them WOBBLE side to side, causing that secondary action that Tim and you discuss so often.
I think you should consider the YUM Pulse swimbaits for your swim jigs and spinnerbaits. They are also inexpensive and have great colors.
The only drawback is the absence of a clamshell container for the YUM Pulse swimbait. Therefore, their tails can come kinked, and they are best purchased in-person.
I bought some War Eagle Screaming Eagles for creek smallmouth fishing for my area last year and I absolutely crushed them all year. You can truly catch bass from prespawn to the fall on a spinnerbait almost consistently, even during the rain if you wake the spinnerbait.
Black and blue is my go to spinner color. They hit hard
Just found your channel a few weeks ago and have already learned so much in a few videos. Do you have a video on what colors to throw in what weather/water conditions? If it matters ?
Thanks Professor for all your valuable knowledge !!
very educational video, not dry and got me really motivated to get out there and find some hogs.
Excellent info brother. Thank you
Nichols is so underrated! If you order directly from their site you can customize the entire spinnerbait! Down to the skirt, each blade, colors, all of it, and there are a ton of options!
I love using low gear ratio when using a spinnerbait. It has worked for me and it's easier on my wrist. Let's resistance while reeling. Plus I used them without trailers for years. Still do on some. But I've recently started using one after watching these kinds of videos.
Caught a my first 4 pounder with a spinnerbait and my PB 7 pounds is also on a spinnerbait. Its my favorite bass lure.
This was so informative. definitely learning a lot from these videos!!
I think the most important part of adding a swimbait is giving some surface area and book for the bass to vacuum in when they open their mouth. They will strike at the general source of the vibration but they will end up getting suction on the swim bait and therefore suck the hook into their mouth. I have experienced the same increase took a percentage just by adding a chunk of any random plastic onto the hook even if it’s shorter than the skirt and doesn’t really change the overall profile of the bait. So I think it’s more about suction than the visual look of the bait when the bass comes to strike
Wow, can’t get better info . Ty Matt
Great information keep up the good work
I really like the pepper's custom baits spinnerbaits especially in the bluegill color. I caught my pb on that bait and have had pretty insane days with the bait just beating the bank
I've caught my only 8lb bass on a spinner when I was a teen. I was just screwing around and mentioned to my buddy how the pros reel em in fast and pump them and then bam! Huge bass. Couldn't believe it.
Ty for this video. I usually fly fish n have caught some on the fly but want more bass especially during the winter months. The lake I fish at year round only caught two bass both at least 6 lb. Was on a spinner. I was standing on the rocks n trying out the spinner just to make sure it was moving right n behold this bass came out of no where n took the bait. Lol
Loved this. Thanks from Ontario
New to the channel and loving the content, and systematic approach
Another great trailer tip is to rig a 3.2 Kietech on a trailer hook all the way up to the eye, almost in the plastic, and put it on a spinner bait. The trailer comes out of the skirt right in the middle. Gives it a better baitfish profile from the side view. The skirt of a spinner bait usually runs higher than the hook and the trailer is hanging out the bottom of the skirt instead of being streamlined.
Learned from Hank Parker on t.v remember when he won the classic on one !!!! Always had luck on the spinner bait here in West Virginia I use the Colorado blades because of the murky water need the vibration instead flash !!!!!!!!
Magnificent presentation 👏
46 seconds in and the memories he brought back with that opening got this video a immediate like. Crazy how tomorrow I’m going pond fishing and just got some spinners to replace what I lost last year. Until today I forgot I caught my first bass on a gold blade spinner. Those are some of my best memories. Thanks guys for a amazing video. You never disappoint us.
Ya man love the ol spinner bait I like double willow except for really muddy water I like the thump of a Colorado blade
And spinnerbaits are awsome with wind. Its a go too besides lipless. This video helped me categorize how I fish them with the conditions. And yes i need more guidance with a zman spinnerbait. I wanna see how it rides in the water. Ive only caught 3 fish early this year.
I love you guys, been watching since you were doing vids in the backyard. But my man
You said cloudy days no shine... but go with glitter (adding shine) haha. I can dig it, different kinda shine maybe?
Much love y'all
I had a hard time catching anything or getting any confidence with a spinnerbait for a long time, despite knowing they are a proven bait, and kind of stopped throwing them for a long time despite having several in my bag all the time, then handed one to my little brother the other day and he caught a 3lber right off the bat, so I threw it the next day I went out and caught a 4lb bass pretty quick. I'm a big chatterbait fan but I think i'll be throwing the spinnerbait more than before now, and definitely putting the knowledge here to good use.
Never caught a bass until watched his videos , won 2 tournaments since I started folliwing and applying
Great Video!!! You should seriously take a look at Bassman Compact Series Mag Willow Spinnerbaits
The art of little details . Thanks
Caught my first spinnerbait bass a couple days ago. A greenfish Firecraw red with gold/slvr blades. Caught a 3lbr. I’m one of those people that can’t seem to catch bass on spinnerbaits. That 3 lber was my first ever bass. Typically, I would tie on a spinnerbait when targeting pike, Muskie as my go to lure. ..... I’m making it a point this year to try and toss the spinner for bass. I bought a bunch of Nichols and greenfish spinner baits in bluegill, white, and shad colors. I’m gonna flip them around like jigs and run them into things.
Excellent tips
Spinnerbaits are fun as hell
The original terminator t1 titanium spinner baits are one of my favorite bass and pike lures of all time. Unfortunately Rapala won't make them anymore. I got lucky and found 20 brand new ones online from some tackle store in turkey. Ranging from 1/4 to 3/4 Oz. The 3/4 Oz ones are large like a 1 Oz spinner and handle the abuse from pike and musky all season. I wish they still made them.
That’s a score lol!
@@bigfah2506 yeah I forgot to mention with the us currency exchange rate they were less than 5$ each. My dad paid me 10$ for one so I just gave him a couple. I can't charge my dad for fishing gear. He's the one that got me addicted to fishing! Lol
I've still got one T-1 left that I bought back in the 90's. That titanium arm just puts the work in like no other.
@@jessemcnutt7852 yeah hang on to that thing they will never make them again. Blue fox owned the rights for a little while so sometimes you can find them. I make my own bucktails with the same type of wire but you can't get the R bend right for a spinnerbait :(
@@ericsfishingadventures4433 just curious, where are you getting the nickel ti wire? Is it the thinner stuff afw sells for leaders or heavier gauge like .040-.050?
I found my first spinnerbait On a stump in 1957 Dale Hollow lake. Very crude bait. Been using them since.
My fav trailer on a spinner and chatterbaits is the spunk shad
Dude is that your backyard what a backdrop looks like a picture beautiful
