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 am the first one to recommend people to use their brains and
"economize" as often as possible BUT these cheap spinnerbaits probably
will work o.k. the first few times, then the quality problems will
surface. They probably don't have a quality swivel system, a good hook
or even a quality stainless steel frame, let alone having chip proof
paint. My guess is that in short time the skirts will become gummy and
need replacing. Also, the two fish that you lost could be the result of
a poor hook that will not hold a sharpened edge. Over time, bargain
baits are not always the cheapest.IMHO.
