I appreciate you putting a percentage on what your talking about, most pros do not do that and it makes a big difference. 5% or 100% can make or break your day. A 💯percent great video !
I also used to make my own spinnerbaits using thin wire and noticed I caught substantially more fish on those than commercial lures. I think the added thump and movement with thinner wire spinner baits makes them much more productive especially with bigger bass in my experience.
This is an excellent video of information. It has reminded me of some fishing success I had in the past. I had always heard from big time tournament anglers, that you need to get a new spinnerbait after every few fish, because the spinnerbait will snap and break. I never saw a broken spinnerbait until I started fishing those “War Eagle” fine wire spinnerbaits. Sure enough, a good bass will bend and destroy one of those spinnerbaits. That fine wire must give off additional vibration that a thick wire spinnerbait lacks. I gravitated away from the War Eagles to save money. I feel sure they were better producers. I am going to buy some more soon. Thanks.
Because I use speed clips on the end of my line on certain technique specific rod so I can swap lures fast, I use a narrow piece of shrink tubing to keep my clip in position and not slide up and down the wire during casts.
I also use clips for the same reason as you and I use dental floss wrapped several times and tied tight to keep the clip from sliding up the wire but I love your idea of shrink tubing. Thanks for the tip. Tight lines!!!
I've always picked my blades based on retrieve speed. If I want to slow down the bait and have it hang in the strike zone longer, I use the Colorado blades. If I'm matching schooling baitfish or just covering water, I'd use the willow blades. An old wise tale near Lake Erie is to use the Indiana blades in early spring. I think that was before the Colorado was developed but the main thing is to slow down in the cold water. I've been using Strike King SB's since the early 80s and they've always worked for me. I've even caught Musky on them.
I remember catching a bunch of bass in muddy water over 20 years ago with huge willow blades because the gizzard shad were like 8 inches long. I think they were size six blades. Actually on second thought it was a tandem bladed bait but that willow dwarfed the leading Colorado blade and almost looked silly but I caught them till the wire deformed and was not of any use. I’ve never caught them that way since.
I really like the Berkley Compact power blade spinnerbaits also the Booyah Covert spinnerbaits but if Berkley ever starts using the blades that Booyah Covert series has then I will only use the Berkley spinnerbaits!
Wesley Stader said he puts a number 1 size split ring on the R bend and it makes the spinnerbait last a lot longer, he also said that Gerald Swindle is who showed him about that
I've gained so much confidence in my spinnerbait fishing by upsizing the willow leaf blades and going to a hammered blade. I also live in Ohio and last summer I caught so many fish deep with a 1oz spinnerbait with a #7 willow. Feeling that just thump so hard and moving it slowly over top of them. I'd watch them rise off the bottom and fight for it even when they wouldn't touch a DT10
I’ve started wrapping a thin wire at the base of where you tie your line at and it really helps to keep your spinnerbaits running true and not bending.
Stop making it complicated. Only one you need is an all white one. And a white and chartreuse one. Simple as that. Willow blades. Colorado blades are a joke in CA. We only throw willow here.
You know what, I was thinking. We are so concerned about fish seeing our line, but we throw stuff like spinnerbaits and a rigs with big metal wires hanging off of them and they still smoke it. 😂
I use 0.032 titanium wire on all my spinnerbaits. The difference between 0.032 and 0.040 is night and day. The downside is I have to retune my spinnerbait every fish.
Nothing like binge watching these videos on a cold rainy California afternoon, while messing around in the Garage and Boat!!!
Northern?
Whats your opinion of trailer hooks on spinner baits. Thanks

Tyler you explained this very well. I use the lite wire all the time. Use different blades. I have lost my biggest Smallie because the wire broke.

Love fishing a spinner bait! Thanks for the tips and techniques and making the videos!

Your welcome
I’m sure you will find a his much easier. I’m 76 years old and small knots are no longer easy to tie. This tip is so much easier.

GREAT VIDEO YOU ARE VERY INFORMATIVE

I agree with you there is a gold standard that most people follow true to a point but think outside the box !
I really like the Berkley Compact power blade spinnerbaits also the Booyah Covert spinnerbaits but if Berkley ever starts using the blades that Booyah Covert series has then I will only use the Berkley spinnerbaits!
I would gladly buy more spinner bait lures if I could catch bass. 😅
Great 😂. Thanks for sharing

Don’t forget. Thickness of the metal. And grade of the metal. That’s a big Muskie. Thing. That gives off different vibrations
The gloves are worth buying a shirt y’all! The shirts are awesome too!
Thanks for the support!
@@TylerBergerFishing any time man!
I think you just answered my age-old question! Why are dollar spinnerbaits from Wal-Mart so effective? Appreciate that mane...✊🏾
what colors do i HAVE TO HAVE
Honestly, for spinnerbaits, you really just need a white one with double willow. If you’re in Marky water, maybe a black single Colorado.
@@ratbird3290 any other ones i need? also what brand
You have to have every color. Pick a brand and buy every color that they offer, and every blade combo as well. If you don't you'll regret it.
Stop making it complicated. Only one you need is an all white one. And a white and chartreuse one. Simple as that. Willow blades. Colorado blades are a joke in CA. We only throw willow here.
@@b.l4365 ok and what if my water doesn't have any white bait fish
Spinnerbait bites are the best

I would love to have your shirts but I'm 6' 4" and need a tall size.
Yep, i bought a bunch of the zoro spinnerbait blanks after that win. Lol still have a bunch

You gave away the juice 8:36
Agreed Ty ,but you give Jason Christie a cheaper spinnerbait.and me the best hands down he will smoke me.More to it then just the bait being thrown.
