The spinnerbait has been around for a long time. Crafted in the early 20th Century, The Shannon Twin Spinner, which was produced by a former company in Chicago, Illinois was known to be a very versatile lure by catching bass both shallow and deep with modifications to the blade size and head weight. The Shannon design is still around today with some companies producing a modified version of the Twin Spinner.

During the 1970's decade, the spinnerbait became very popular. Many professional bass tournaments were won with spinnerbaits. Rick Clunn, Tommy Martin, and Jimmy Houston, to name a few, gained fame by tossing spinnerbaits to shoreline cover. This popularity has lead to the many innovative designs that we have available for us today.
