Spinner baits

[albiealert]

What makes a good spinner bait? There are lots of guys who say they make the best, so can you tell just by looking at it without fishing it?

They're pretty basic. Guys will sometimes use cheaper wire to cut costs, a lot of the ones imported from Asia do that. Look for something that feels sturdy and bend the wire a bit, see how it bends back.
