Hi any suggestions on a spinnerbait that works with a steady slow
retrieve? Blade style size color? The avg size I catch is 13"-14" I use 9' light rod with 8lb PP so want to use a smallish spinnerbait I bought this Culprit one but the blade doesnt spin at all at slow speed. http://www.culpritstore.com/catalog/...7712193065ff19 Though when I give it a jerk the blade spins well. Lastly is Culprit a good brand? Thanks Ray |

Ray, I don't know anything about the Culprit brand, but I can say nothing but good things about the Secret Weapon Lures, especially the Sidearm spinners. I get great action on the SWLs with nice oscillation, vibration, and its ability to hold plane on a slow retrieve. Personally, I prefer a slow retrieve on spinner baits and the SWLs are great for that. Go to www.secretweaponlures.com John |

Get an SWL Pro Kit. You can take a heavy body and swap out to smaller
willow blades that will slow roll amazingly well. In fact that's one of the trick Iaconnelli mentioned in his section in Bassin' magazine a couple months ago. He said he likes to use about 2 sizes smaller willow blades on a 3/4 bait and it makes for a bait he can retrieve fast or slow at greater depth. -- Bob La Londe Fishing Arizona & The Colorado River Fishing Forums & Contests http://www.YumaBassMan.com -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Lastly is Culprit a good brand? Thanks Ray My news server is havign problems so I hope you get this reply. There are several variables to this equation. Do you want to buy some top dollar blades? An SWL pro kit might be the ticket. This allows you to adjust the bait easily on the fly until you get just what you want. However, if you don't have the cash there are some things you can do. Any standard cheap spinner bait can have the blades swapped around with a pair of pliers. Iaconnelli likes to throw a large body spinnerbait with willow blades two sizes smaller than standard according to his column in Bassin' Magazine. If I'm getting some hits when the bait is falling I have slid a worm weight on the line in front of the blade bait. This gives a distinct nose down fall and allows for slow rolling down deep. Another trick I have seen is to take the rubber core out of a rubber core sinker and crimp it around the lower wire of the bait. This makes for a heavier bait with a more conventional fall. Like I said, "There are several variables to this equation," and I'm not sure we can answer your question thoroughyl without having a better definition of what you are trying to achieve. -- Bob La Londe Fishing Arizona & The Colorado River Fishing Forums & Contests http://www.YumaBassMan.com -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

![]() "QUAKEnSHAKE" wrote in message SNIP Well I dont want but one or two. I fish the same little 26 acre lake 98% of my time. I just want the blades to spin on a slow slow retrieve. The Culprit one has a small willow blade but it doesnt spin when going slow. I read on the SWL site the Sidearm Spinner will do the trick- says blades will spin on the slightest movement. The thing is no dealers in IL:-( Im not up to ordering off internet just yet. Thats just me though. -------------------------------------------------------------- That's fine if you don't want to order online. Simply figure out what you want, type a letter, enclose a check and send it to the address on the website.

Heck just contact Joe and explain what you want. I'm sure he can work
something out for you. I probably shouldn't mention this since the group is SWL centric, but I have some 1/8th oz Stanley spinner baits with a ball bearing swivel attaching the blade and they swing pretty darn good The problem with the Stanley blades if you fish them in mucky green water is the swivel will gum up and stop spinning. I have actually cut them off and put on SWL blades and kept fishing. LOL. In fact that was probably my first success with SWL. Putting their blades on Stanley wire bodies. -- Bob La Londe Fishing Arizona & The Colorado River Fishing Forums & Contests http://www.YumaBassMan.com "Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers" wrote in message ...
