This Spinnerbait Hack Is So Simple AND Catches Giant Bass!

I'll give it a go tomorrow- if I have some big blades. I probably do- I buy stuff like that and put it up and forget I have it. I fish bluegill fisheries, so I usually go with a gold blade. But the increased size would probably help as well, bluegills tend to have a larger profile then other baitfish. I usually use the War Eagle, 1/4 oz., Finesse in the Mouse color- it has a weird rear blade that's a cross between an Indianna and a Colorado. I think it works better because it mimics a bluegill better- just a guess. But this may do an even better job of that.

Years ago lure manufacturers made spinnerbaits with a large willow leaf or Colorado blade in sizes 6 or 7. I’ve found a manufacturer who makes a good spinnerbait with a large Colorado blade but only dark colors for night fishing. I have larger blades that I swap out occasionally but admit I don’t change them often enough. The only double willow baits now that I find are 1oz or heavier ledge buster spinnerbaits which are too heavy for fishing around most of the cover I fish.

Does this apply to willow leaf blades only???

Spinner bait are getting one of my favourites technics , i will try it !
Ps : Is it just me but pikes really like spinner bait ?

I have been using the do it wacky hooks for dropshoting after watching your video. I have a way of using them texas rigged.after Snelling the hook on I add a owner screwlock. (I use a size 2 with the small size screwlock)works great with the bps 3in stiko

One, or more, of the old TV pro's from back in the 80's let this gem out. Had to be either Houston, Parker, Martin, or Dance? Seems crazy when you see it but remember they're not 4 inches long. How many squeakers have you caught on a 7 in worm? You may have to jump up in weight if you experience the lure running off kilter. My favorite bait is the one the fish want.

I've mentioned this before and works for me on the fly. I carry an assortment of sizes, shapes and colors to make what I need on the fly.

Tip for dull/tarnished spinner bait blades and spoons. Mr. Clean magic eraser. No polish or polishing needed. Just wipe them off with the eraser and they’ll shine like new.

I’ve always upgraded my Spinnerbaits with size7 and 8 blades on light wire. Been doing this since the 80’s, Roland Martin made me try it. Slayed them spring throughout summer. Even crazier at times I’ll go the opposite and throw 1/8oz and smaller Spinnerbaits 😊

🍺Nicely presented video well done.🤠

Quick question – does this increase strikes on the rear blade instead of the lower/skirted hook? Thanks for the tip! Have to try this, spinnerbait fishing is my favorite.

Yesterday caught over 20 small mouth on a scorcher spinnerbait. Average was 2.5 lbs. Biggest was 5 lbs 3 ozs. Burning it over 18 feet of water. Painted blades. Chartreuse and white

Good video Matt, that for the new tip

There was a period in the 80's when a big bladed spinnerbait was the rage in Arkansas. It was particularly good in deep clear water reservoirs worked deep. It was very effective in 20 to 30 foot depths. Your video reminded me to get them back out. You would think you would lose feel that deep but the hits were savage. Thanks for another great video Matt.

I prefer to have my blades matching in size. If I wanna move more water I add a 3rd blade to the back and the two blades oppose each other and move like a propeller through the water.

I tried this and done well during blue gill bream spawn

That's a good tip. Il have to try it
