Fish that break the rules
I'm kind of partial to the 3/16 oz size myself Bob!!!!!!! They work
very well on Boom Lake!

Some of my very largest spinnerfbait fish have come on smaller spinnerbaits,
but few anglers actually own and use them. My favorite size in our new
series are the 3/16 oz. models, which are effectively crosses between 1/8
oz. & 1/4 oz. sizes. To me, that size really kicks butt!

Hmmm. RichZ...You have far, far, more experience than I catching big bass.
Your comment strikes a note of clarity.
A few weeks ago, I had one day where I caught seven bass. Five were 4 /
5
/ 5 / 5-1/2 and one 6...ALL on the same tiny, little, smallest size Pop-R.
Since then, I've fished the same spot over a number of times. I switched
to
a larger Pop-R, and tried numerous other baits. None caught as many BIG
fish
as that small Pop-R did that day. My best catch since that earlier
experience was a 4 3/4 lbr. I've caught a LOT ( 6 in an hour a few
evenings ago) of additional bass from the same stretch of water, but I
haven't had the success in LARGE fish as I did with the little lure, on
that
one day.
My largest Northern Pike to date, just a few days after the first bass
experience, was taken on the smallest sized One-Minus lure!
I have friend in Houston who fishes the bays with me. He will ONLY use a
two
inch long split tail grub. He catches a lot of decent fish on that tiny
offering.
You may be on to something here. I'm going to try, again, the smallish
Pop-R at the next opportunity. The fish are there, waiting.
