Spinnerbait After Dark?

[Hazbin]

I love those war eagles too and they are my normal Go to at night. Slongs makes a great night bait also. I always add glass worm rattles if they don't come equipped. I do love the layout of the black widows and will certainly give them a try.

For you night fisherman.....is fluorescent mono line with a black light a must? I want the feel of fluorocarbon but I like to use a black light. Stren is the only one that currently has a fluorescent fluorocarbon but I heard that was basically garbage line. Thoughts?

. I like to use older 5500c's , on a BP Extreme Med. action with fast taper and tip. I always used BP 17# flor. Mono, have now switched to 40# braid, spider wire glo-vis fluorescent .

When the bass are shallow, I go to a different method. I use a keeper rod to lock the jig head solid; however, Nutechlures do make a solid fixed body and head spinnerbaits. I go to an entirely different technique by cranking at different speeds in the shallows, most likely the same way you fish your short arm single spin . Entirely different method when fishing deep.

BassCat, I can assure you that I'm serious about catching a bass anytime I go fishing and I've caught more than my share at night on a black War Eagle. There are a lot of good spinnerbaits out there. I'm sure the Black Widow is among them. But it's not the only one.

Champ, I won't argue with you, the War Eagle is a great bait too. I carry them all the time and use them, my point was that Black Widow (for me) allows me to slow down some and I can fish that thru more junk than the War Eagle which takes me back to more like the old ways, the way I learned how to spinnerbait fish. With the ability to change the jig head and skirt color with ease, the Black Widow is a real handy bait to use. Most of the time I keep a War Eagle on one rod and a Black Widow on the deck when I'm fishing the spinnerbait. All this talk about it makes me want to go throw one tonight! Ha Ha

My preference is just plain old green mono for my night time spinnerbait fishing, usually 20 lb test. No blacklight as many times the boat is fairly close to the bank and don't want to advertise to the fish that I'm there. I keep the troller down low and slow constantly moving with minimal movement and noise in the boat to help in that. This way I can feel fish my way along, this is just what works for me. The mono allows a little more stretch on the hook set if I get on the bite a little too quickly and I am just not very good with floro. I have a tendency to break it. Again just my experience, hope its a help.
