Overview
The Strike PB38CW-12 is built with a safety pin spinnerbait technique, the classic wire frame arrangement anglers associate with the category, paired with a synthetic construction and a 0.375 ounce single unit weight. Its white color and bass, largemouth bass, spotted bass target listing make it a fairly specialized pick within this comparison set rather than a general purpose lure.
At $6.20, it sits between the budget priced $3.99 Strike MK-93G and the $8.99 Yakima models. Its 4.7 star rating across 320 reviews ties the top rating in this group, shared with the Yakima 202-CHR and 206-FRT, though its review count is smaller than the 870 and larger review totals seen on some competitors.
What sets the PB38CW-12 apart is bought last month at 50+, a figure that beats the 0+ shown by three other spinnerbaits in this comparison, though it still trails the 200+ of the Yakima 206-WH and the 400+ of the Strike MK-93G. Sold as a single piece in white, it reads as a solid middle ground option on both price and demonstrated recent demand, making it a reasonable default pick for anglers undecided between the cheaper and pricier options in this comparison.
Pros
- 4.7 star rating across 320 reviews, tied for the top score in this comparison

Cons
- Costs more than the $3.99 Strike MK-93G, which has a larger 1,536 review base
- 320 reviews is fewer than the 870 to 1,536 range of some competitors
- Bought last month of 50+ still trails the Yakima 206-WH's 200+ and the MK-93G's 400+
- Single color option, white, with no listed alternatives
- Bass focused target listing narrows appeal versus multi species options

Performance notes
The 0.375 ounce weight puts this spinnerbait in a mid size class, heavier than the finesse oriented 1/32 and 1/16 ounce options in this comparison, which generally means a faster fall rate and stronger blade vibration through the water column. That size suits searching water at moderate depths rather than ultra light finesse presentations. White is a common shad imitating color, useful in clearer water or when baitfish are the primary forage. The safety pin technique, where the blade arm connects to the hook via a bent wire frame, is the standard spinnerbait design that most anglers expect, as opposed to the treble hook or needle point variations seen on a few other listings here. The bass, largemouth bass, and spotted bass target labeling signals this is built with a specific fishery in mind rather than a broad multi species claim.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star rating across 320 reviews places the PB38CW-12 among the highest rated spinnerbaits in this comparison, on par with the Yakima 202-CHR and 206-FRT. The 50+ bought last month figure is a meaningful point of difference, since three other spinnerbaits compared here show 0+ for the same period. That combination of a strong rating, a solid review count, and active recent purchases suggests steady, ongoing demand rather than a lure that sold well in the past and has since cooled off. It is a pattern that points to both durable buyer satisfaction and current relevance in the market, a combination not every spinnerbait in this comparison can claim.
