My first two are my own spinnerbaits. This is for real because I do fish
spinnerbaits at least half the time, and have been doing so for many, many
years.

1. A 3/16 oz. Secret Weapon Baby Bass spinnerbait with tandem Indiana
blades. I fish this shallow, near the bank edge and other visual cover. I
vary & mix retrieve speeds (never constant) from slow & steady to quick
spurts. This is my personal secret weapon.

2. A 1/2 oz. Secret Weapon Citrus Shad spinnerbait (soon to be added to our
internet offerings) with tandem Willowleaf blades. I usually remove the
front blade (a smaller Colorado) and fish this one deeper with varying
retrieves.

3. A pumpkin/orange Gene Larew spider jig (hula grub) on a 1/4-1/2 weedless
jig head. I like to crawl this beast across rocky bottoms with great
results.

4. A small #7 regular Rapala floating minnow in silver with black back. I
fish this one on ML spinning gear in the same locations as #1 above, using
slow twitches and quick, short dives. Severe fun!

5. A larger Pradco Spittin' Image in Tennessee Shad. I fish this thing in
any depth or structure, retrieving it anywhere from short twitches to dog
walkin'.

Note that while my #1 & #4 choices are both smaller lures, the results they
produce can run about as large as any.

In no specific order, my favorite 5 lures are....

Secret Weapon Spinnerbait - 1/2 oz. Firetiger with a small silver Colorado
and a gold Oklahoma blade. Typically fished in/around heavy cover and
in/through weed growth. I like to start the retrieve immediately upon
splashdown and work it right under the surface, over the tops of the weeds,
letting it helicopter into holes.

Soft plastic jerkbait - FinS or Zoom, in baby bass, white, shad, watermelon,
with a 5/0 Gamakatsu EWG hook. Texas rigged, I like to skip these under
boat docks and overhanging tree limbs. Twitch, pause, twitch twitch,
pause.....

Cool Lures Ice Pick - Texas rigged, another excellent boat dock lure. This
one I skip under and simply let fall.

Berkely Power Tubes - 4" Rigged on a standard ball head jig, push the jig
in the back, up to the nose, push the line tie through and tie on.
Pumpkinseed, watermelon or black. Most hits come on the fall, but I've had
good results simply dragging them on the bottom, without additional action
imparted.

Rapala Suspending Husky Jerk - 6" model in clown color. Fished erratically
with a jerk and a pause type retrieve.

Bob, I know you're a spinnerbait expert, but everything I have read about
your personal fishing has you using some type of soft plastic. Is this
because on the days you fished with Joe & Charles, the water was flat calm?
Do you ever throw a spinnerbait on calm water or does it have to have at
least a few waves before you throw one? I also agree with you, Gene Larew
makes some excellent lures, and I love their Green Pumpkin/Orange Craws.

No particular order


Bass Assassins- Simply put one of my top producers, 4/0 wide gap hook if
jerking and letting it fall, if fishing fast across the top of the water I
switch to a 4/0 lunker city offset hook.

Wacky Rigged Senko/Wacko, hard to beat this combo, wacky rigging soft
stickbaits produce fish, hard to screw this type of fishing up. I use a 1/0
Gammy octopus hook, the smaller hook has no problem holding fish and lets
the stickbait fall at the right speed and wobble, if fishing water with
bigger fish(over 3 lbs) I switch to a 2/0 gammy octopus red hook.

Secret weapon, either a green goddess or white with silver blades, any
kind, has not made too much of a difference, they catch fish period!!

Strike King Quad Shad spinner bait, another awesome spinner bait that
produces big time.


Zoom speed worm, Lunker city spanky(awesome), berkely bungee worm, zoom
baby brush hogs, are all in that must have with me catagory


I can't count so ggod I must mention a few more, Heddon Zara spook in
bullfrog or blk/white, heddon lucky 13 in chrome blue, Creek Chub jointed
minnow, Diamond shad in Gold Black, Yozuri twitchin minnow in blk gold(one
of the best hard jerkbaits I ever fished) and can't forget the wacky worm
soft craws, these are just killer.

Actually, on the days I fished with Joe, I did start with spinnerbaits and
was catching some fish as was Joe, but when the breezes died off the
spinnerbait bite slowed also. I can normally do OK in calm water if I use
smaller spinnerbaits, such as 1/4oz. or even better, 1/8 oz., but I had
nothing smaller than 3/8 oz. with me at that time. We at SW no longer offer
either the 1/4 or 1/8 sizes, and instead have introduced the tremendously
successful new size of 3/16 oz., which is a cross between the two. That will
be a legend.

In-line spinners are great lures, but are not used frequently by most bass
anglers because they cannot usually be used successfully around most heavy
cover without snagging. That is why "safety-pin" spinners (or "spinnerbaits"
as they are called) are the predominant type spinner lure used for bass. The
only real exception would be our own Secret Weapon, which could be
considered a cross between the two types; it sounds like an in-line to fish
but is snagless like the safety-pin type (among other things).

1 5.75" Fisn-S Fish, Golden Shiner, on 3/0 Texposer Hook, unweigted and
rigged on Fireline.

2 Smoke Mr. Twister Sassy Grub on 1/8 oz LunkerGrip weedless football
head, fished on 6 lb mono. I could not get from March to the beginning of
May, or from the beginning of October to ice-up without this lure. It's
long since been discontinued, but I bought what was meant to me a life-time
supply. Unfortunately, I'm down to less than 400 in my stash. Then again,
at my age, that may be a lifetime supply.G

3 Green Pumpkin 5" creature bait. T-rigged, 3/16 oz weight, 2/0 Texposer
on 10 or 12 pound mono. Used to be a Baby Brush hog, but I've pretty much
switched to LC's new Ozmo. (the advantage of getting stuff during
developmentG)

4 Jerkbait -- Lucky Craft Pointer 78. If I MUST pick a color, I'd probably
got with Aurora Pro Blue. But I'd sneak an Aurora Gold one in the box, too.

5 Spinnerbait. 3/4 or 1 oz head. Single nickel Pickens blade (harder to
find than my smoke sassy grubs above, and my supply is REALLY limited -- a
big colorado without too much belly will do in a pinch) and a golden shiner
skirt.

Surprisingly, there's no drop shot bait on that list but that's because
I've got 3 or 4 favorites that I use kind of interchangeably.

Jig & pig? Might've been # 6 if the list was longer.

A bigger creature would be # 1 if I was fishing 'nut. If you eliminated the
parts of the season that the water is under 50 degrees, it would replace
the Sassy Grub.

What Bob is referring to is the way that the blades are attached on a SW
spinnerbait, the blades revolve in the exact manner as an inline spinner,
giving it a similar sonic signature in the water.

A conventional spinnerbait blade does not spin in the same manner, and will
give off a different vibration in the water.

In a particular order...

1. Bill Norman Professional Edge Middle N in Blue and Chartruese. No lure

2. White or white chartreuse spinnerbait. Most often with a gold or silver
willow leafe main blade and a smaller silver willow leaf secondary blade.

3. 6" Red Shad Culprit / texas-rigged with Gamakatsu hooks - Especially good
under over-hanging brush (in the shadows)

4. My own 3/8oz jigs. Usually in black so I can throw a brown/orange or
black/blue Uncle Josh pork on it.

5. Rebel Pop-R in the original black back / silver sides fished shallow.

6. Rapala rattlin shad rap in original shad finish. I know, I was only
supposed to list 5...


I could load a tackle box with only these baits and be pretty certain that I
would catch something on any given day...

Your Top 5 Lures
 
1. 6A Bomber Firetiger. Old style with the lead BB inside. It's a
different plastic than the new models. Dives deeper and has a different
sound. Normally fished on 10lb Trilene BigGame.

2. Standard RattleTrap. Best color might be Tequlia Sunrise.

3. Jig & Pig. Color usually black/blue. Weight dependent on conditions.
Usually 1/4 to 3/8oz, but I fish lighter/heavier. Trailer can be Uncle Josh
pork #11, #1 or Zoom chunks. Occasionally something odd. Old Berkley frog,
grub, etc. Jig can be just about any brand out there with fiber weedguard
so I can split it.

4. Zoom Lizard. Pumpkinseed normally. Texas rigged for flipping. Pegged
with a square toothpick.

5. Buzzbait. LunkerLure or local made. 1/4 to 1/2oz. White or
White/chart. Sometimes black. Sometimes with a Croc-O-Gator grub.

Yeah, when the weather has been stable

What exactly is "stable" weather? Do we have that in Indiana?

I've had to change my definition of this a little this year. Stable now
means one day without a tornado, or tornado like winds!
