War Eagle Spinnerbait Nickle Frame DW 3/8 Purple Shad

The War Eagle Spinnerbait with Nickel Frame in 3/8 ounce Purple Shad is a double-blade spinner built for anglers targeting bass and other freshwater gamefish in clear water conditions. The nickel-plated frame paired with willow leaf blades delivers flash and vibration that triggers strikes in lakes and rivers where fish can see your lure clearly. At 3/8 ounce, this is a versatile weight that lets you fish fast in shallower water or adjust your retrieve to reach deeper zones—without the lure rolling over and losing its action, which keeps it working hard all the way back to the rod.

War Eagle spinners are workhorse lures for anglers who want a reliable, proven design that doesn't demand a lot of technical skill or perfect conditions to produce. The Purple Shad color pattern mimics natural forage and has earned its place in tackle boxes across the South and beyond. Whether you're throwing from the bank, a shallow-draft boat, or wading structure, this spinnerbait handles the retrieve speed you throw at it without fouling or spinning out.

Keep a few in your rotation if you fish clear impoundments or creeks where bass and pike respond to flash-and-vibration presentations. The nickel frame is durable and resists corrosion, so it'll hold up through multiple trips. Pair it with a medium-power rod and 10–17 lb. mono or braid, adjust your speed based on what the fish want that day, and let the blade action do the work.
