A Spinnerbait Color Selection Chart for you.

Bob, I appreciate the chart, all it needs now is blade type Now of
course I have a question. I understand that as water clarity lessens,
bass depend less on sight, thus you need more "thump" to help them find
your bait. Why, then, does your chart recommend a front blade be used
only in the clearest conditions?

The way I understand things, a tandem blade spinnerbait offers more lift and
flash, but less vibration than a single, large blade.

Thanks Steve, I knew my ignorance would come shining through.
Now, Bob, see why I need blade type choice on your chart?

A single ALWAYS produces more vibration than a tandem. The front blade on a
tandem dampens the vibration of the rear blade. Bob's SW lures don't suffer
from this as much as a traditional spinnerbait design, but it is still a
factor.

I agree. Pay attention to the televised bass tournaments and notice what
blade configuration the pros are using on their spinnerbaits. I have been
told two or three times by competitors at the national level that more
single-blade baits than tandem are thrown by the pros. If that's true, there
must be a good reason.
