I'll give you the poor man's version. I recently went to Sports Authority
and saw spinner baits for 99 cents. The brand was The Classics. They
looked pretty good so I bought a couple, went home and tossed a few from the
shore of a small lake in my neighborhood. I had six hits in one hour, landed
three 20 ouncers, two spit the hook before I got them to shore and one was
just a hit. I went back and bought thirty.

I feel about baits like some people (including me) feel about line in the
recent thread on that topic. Bass just ain't that smart. If they are
hitting a certain color and blade style of spinnerbait, they'll hit any
brand of spinnerbait in that color and style. I might even go as far to say
that if they are hitting spinnerbaits, they'll hit any spinnerbait. Same
goes for worms, cranks, jigs, etc. So many lures are overpriced. IMHO.

I am very new to bass fishing and am wanting to build my arsenal of lures.
I have $100 to spend on spinnerbaits and maybe buzzbaits. I was wondering
if you guys and gals could advise me on colors, blades, sizes, hooks,
skirts, etc. I mainly fish stained lakes in IL. How do you all tote and
store your spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. thanks a million
