Hildebrandt Spinnerbait

[JUNGLEJIM1]

I found some of these spinners at the local bait shop in #1 and #3 blade sizes for 3 for $1.80. I used a 1/16 pillhead on a #2 blue Aberdeen to keep the bait straight with the added weight, just won't work with a jig hook. I kept the rig simple, bunny tail with bone pink krystal flash chenille. Will have to see how these move in the water soon. View attachment 8View attachment 9

Like the idea. Used something similar to those (but with plastic trailers) on a trip to Vermont one time and they were deadly on bass and pike.

I think you have a winning bait I believe a lot of fish would jump on those, nice.

You make some incredible lures, those are just awesome!!!! The colors are different too, kind of contrasting but in a good way, nicely done!!!!

Tim Holschlag from the Smallmouth Alliance has great luck with a similar spinnerbait fishing for monster smallies.

I used to fish spinners like those on a fly rod. Would swing the spinner across the current. Used those made by Joe's Flies. Great memories.

Very nice ties too.

Many, many years ago I used these with a plain hook with a minnow under a float. The minnow swimming caused the blade to flash. I caught plenty of bass and crappie with that rig.
