Product Review: Lunker Lure Vibratron Spinnerbait

The Lunker Lure Triple Rattleback Vibratron Spinnerbait   Description: The Lunker Lure Vibratron Spinnerbait comes in various sizes, and is equipped with a three-chambered rattle and two blades. The Vibratron blade is the trademark of the spinnerbait, and is it's most noticeable and fish-attracting feature. The blade is shaped almost in a rectangle with the bottom shaped like a twin-tailed plastic trailer, except the two 'tails' are pointing in opposite directions.

   Review: The Vibratron has become a staple in my tacklebox. It has excellent fish-attracting features built in, and works well in muddy, stained, and clear water. During testing, the Vibratron produced back-to-back four pounders, a five pounder, and an eight pounder within half an hour.

Detail of Vibratron blade   The 1/2 ounce version produced, by far, the most fish. Smaller versions are simply to light with the big blade attached, unless you desire super slow retrieves near the surface.

   The unique Vibratron blade provides serious vibration, as the name implies. It also provides a huge amount of lift, making it possible to burn the spinnerbait within 1 foot of the surface with slow speeds. Surprisingly, the Vibratron works best when burned slowly close to the surface. This was the number one technique used during testing. Slow-rolling is almost impossible. This is a spinnerbait for all bodies of water, all water colors, and all sizes of fish. Even an occasional bream would attack a bulky 1/2 ounce Vibratron!

   A light-colored 1/2 ounce Vibratron was the main producer during testing. It provided many, many fish - the largest weighing 8 pounds.

   The most outstanding fish-catching feature of the Vibratron was, of course, the blade, but the key was also in the retrieve. Because of the large amount of lift the blade produces, 'burning' the lure close to the surface at slow speeds was possible, and it turned out the be an excellent way to catch plenty bass of all sizes.

 
Criteria Score
Bass caught Over 50, score of 4.75
Innovation 3.5
Strength 4.5
Overall 4.5

   The Breakdown:

   Bass caught: many bass were caught from clear water to muddy, from shallow water to deep. The Vibratron produced larger fish and also small bass. It also produced two four pound bass, one five pounder, and an eight pounder within 30 minutes at one point during testing.

   Innovation: The innovative part of the Vibratron is the blade and the three rattles. Other than that, it is a typical spinnerbait with a flashy skirt and excellent paint job. The special blade is worth a lot!

   Strength: Super strong. The Vibratron is a very strong spinnerbait, but it was slightly bent after battling a 8 pound bass. However, one lure caught over 50 bass without breaking or being damaged.

   Overall: A must buy. This lure now has a permanent place in my tacklebox. Check it out!

   Where to Purchase:

   A good place to purchase the Vibratron is www.lunkerlure.com, or check for Lunker Lure products at your local fishing tackle retailer.
