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.

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.

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 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.

1. 3/8oz Secret Weapon Lures Green Goddess, with a single #4.5 Turtleback
blade. Works well, anyway you fish it.

8mm glass bead.

3. 4" Zipper Worms, fished the same as Number 2.

4. Original Floating Rapala, Gold #5. Sometimes, you can catch fish on these
anyway you want to fish them too.

5. Zoom Super Fluke, pearl white.
