Spinnerbait Heads and Arms

With style A, B, C, D, F, H, N, R, T, and traditional heads versus hidden heads, I often get asked which head to use when. Truth be known, these are all excellent head styles. They really are a collection of some of the most productive and most popular head shapes in the spinnerbait industry since it's inception. Some like styles A, B, C and N are venerable classic mainstays that have always caught and always will. Others like styles D, F, H, R and T are the very latest, greatest styles. You can fish with confidence when you use any of these head styles. Please enjoy learning more about them all here.
Style A Spinnerbait

Style A Spinnerbait. You'll see this same head shape sold under several different brand names. It is a highly popular style that several tackle companies incorporate into their product lines. It has been around for many years. What makes it so successful for so long are its super thin, flat sides streamlined to slice deeply into the water. This head shape works against the uplift generated by the blades, so it stays deeper than regular spinnerbaits throughout the retrieve. If you want to get deep in the water, especially in a tidal river or current, this head is designed to do that.
Best of all, no matter where or how you use it, this head shape presents an attractive deep-bodied baitfish profile.
There are no hard and fast rules for spinnerbaits but I favor this head shape with deeper-cupped blades and with faster-moving, deeper-sinking versions of Willows or Indianas, either: 1) double Willows, 2) double Indianas, 3) front Indiana back Willow or 4) front Willow back Indiana blade pairs.

Style B Spinnerbait

Style B Spinnerbait. One of the most perfect, popular and productive spinnerbait heads today. Many tackle companies across the country incorporate this shape straight into their product line exactly as is. Some of the larger or more brand-conscious companies will request the manufacturer to make slight variations to make it appear as their own unique brand shape.
The two main features that help make the Style B so successful are: 1) a thin dorsal type fin ridge runs on top of the head to add stability and balance so it runs true at any retrieve speed, and 2) a wide potbelly adds ballast to help prevent the spinnerbait from rolling on its side and reduces hang-ups. The protruding belly and the lure's rounded chin also make it deflect erratically when it hits rocks or wood, often triggering strikes in the process.
The Style B works swell with most any and all blade configurations possible.




Style C Spinnerbait


Style C Spinnerbait. A popular style worldwide due to its stability in moving water, plus the Style C it is often used for deep slow-rolling. It's streamlined shape is also beneficial coming through weeds.
This legendary head is the darling of deep structure anglers. This head style helped Woo Daves win the 2002 Bassmaster Classic slow-rolling it in Chicago. When others are catching bass with deep-diving crankbaits or heavy Carolina rigs, that's when this style spinnerbait is at its very best. It is designed for ledges, channel edges and deep points. A favorite of river fishermen, it cuts fast water currents for river bass. The spear head cuts deep while the swollen belly adds stability.

Style C Spinnerbait Head. This shape head is one of the most popular worldwide, and it is a mainstay of experienced anglers, including many of the world's top pros. The Style C head shape can be depended upon to do three things very well:
  1. It excels for fishing deepwater, channels, ledges, humps, slow-rolling or whatever deep duties you require, this spinnerbait is a deepwater staple.
  2. It's a stable and streamlined shape for fishing current or flowing water.
  3. It is often used for grinding through thick grass, keeping the nose arm wire relatively straight in line with the streamlined head.
