Any of you guys used this thing ?

How do you fish it? I have one in my hand, it looks like it would
really catch bass, but since I never have "really" fished a spinner
bait, I don't have a clue about presentation. I would like to give
this thing a try

Hi Rodney,

I was using a prototype SW Sidearm when I won the 2006 Northwoods
Classic. They're a great bait.

I know it looks great, awesome design



I like the fact that it give a different
profile and sound signature in the water. The day I won the tournament,
we had a wicked cold front come through and I put Colorado blades on
mine. I was able to fish it slowly over the tops of submerged weed
beds, the blades were going 100 mph, but because they have so much lift,
I was able to crawl the lure through the water, keeping it out of the
weeds.

There's a million and one ways to fish a spinnerbait and none of them
are wrong. I've found that I like to fish them fast, then slow down and
become more erratic with the retrieve until I draw a strike. This way
the fish tell me what they want. Most times I'll fish the lure 6" to a
foot under the surface and give the rod an occasional pump. This causes
the blades to speed up, then the blades and the skirt flutter
momentarily. When the speed resumes, often times there's a fish on the
lure. Or, if the water is clear enough, I'll see the strike as the lure
pauses.

This is what I needed to know, I thought you just threw it out and
reeled it in

The only way you can fish that lure wrong is to leave it in the tackle box!
