New Secret Weapon spinnerbait

Hey all, Joe had built me a new secret weapon spinner bait while I was at
the NWC. This is a dual spinner blade spinner bait, but the blades are
side by side, seems to keep the bait up with less effort.
Anyway, yesterday morning I had the first real chance at using that bait,
and got on the water about 7am. I was greeted with 46 degrees and a
Northwest wind at about 15mph. I pulled up on my first spot, and in 20
minutes had 7 smallies on the spinner bait, including a 17.5 that probably
went over 3lbs. I ended up catching 13 total, but the key seemed to be
keeping the bait up above the dying weeds in about 3' of water.

Thanks SWL, one more tool in the arsenal. I also wanted to say, those
fish refused to come all the way up, I threw a zara spook and buzzbait for
a while as well and got no reaction. But running that spinner bait just
under the surface was the ticket.

That little bugger helped me win the NWC. On Day 2, I popped a nice
largemouth off a boat lift using that bait. In addition to that, I caught a
bunch of shorts and had a 45 - 48 inch muskie decide that it looked good
enough to eat! Unfortunately, I had to apply a lot of pressure to keep her
out of the outboard and the hook pulled free.

I love that little lure, like you say, it works high and slow, with the
blades just churning away.

It throws a lot of flash and vibration without having a lot of horizontal
speed. It was perfect for that Friday and the severe cold front that had
moved in!

When I start feeling better, I plan on throwing it a lot. Heck, I might
even say "Screw it" and go today!

DDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAHHHHHH!!!! I broke off my prototype last night on a
smallie. It broke 14lb Fluoro during the fight.
I got to fish from 5pm till 7pm last night. Me and a friend of mine
landed 25 smallies in those 2 hours with our biggest limit (5) going
about 15lbs. Boy do I love the fall!

And that's why I use 30 or 50 pound PowerPro. The fish don't seem to mind
and I keep a lot more of my lures for longer periods of time.

I have snapped 30 pound braid three times on fish before Only on initial
contact though. Never while fighting them in open water. (one I think was a
huge flathead) 50 pound only when setting the hook on a dock pole. I have
upgraded to 65 on my big custom flipping stick.

P.S. A tiny backlash will cost you a 1/2 spinner bait even on 50 lb Power
Pro. I launched my largest cash winnig spinner bait up the side of the
mountain in Island Lake one day.
