This is a dual spinner blade spinner bait, but the blades are side by side, seems to keep the bait up with less effort. , but the key seemed to be keeping the bait up above the dying weeds in about 3' of water. OK, where can us mere mortals get these great spinners? I gotta get me a bagfull of these things. |

OK, where can us mere mortals get these great spinners? I gotta get me a bagfull of these things. There are some dual side by side blades available from other manufacturers if SWL doesn't get one out to you quick enough. I personally have a ton of SWLs, but there are a few blades I use from other MFGs. For instance the old light wire Willy Wackers with the thin wire seem to get more bites than any other blade I've tried including the SWLs. The problem with the Willy Wackers is that light wire doesn't hold up. Two or three fish or one good fish and you can count on it breaking on the next one. Its great it if you don't mind throwing baits away all day long. A firend of mine came up with a really cool varient of his own design. An old style heavy wire spinner bait with the upper arm removed and a light wire arm crimped and then spot welded in place with a metal sleeve. The vibration of this bait is incredible. If I am fishing badly stained water or working through an algae bloom this bait comes out and gets slow rolled. A willow blade on this thing thumps almost like a Colorado blade on an SWL. A Colorado blade will almost jerk the rod out of your hands on the thump. You may eventually loose or bend the upper arm, but you won't lose a fish from breakage. Its an interesting comprimise bait with great charachteristics. Don't get me wrong. I like my SWLs just fine except for the rubber bands breaking on all my older baits and leaving the skirts laying in the bottom of my rod locker. I usually have two SWLs tied on at any given time. A light one on spinning tackle for submerged grassbed fishing, and a heavy one tied on braid or heavy mono for deep probing, searching, and fishig submerged standup trees when the crank bait isn't working. Anyway... I know how popular SWL is here, but but there are other blades and each has their benefit. Another example and one of the reason I had such a hard time coming around to SWL is that it fouls and snags when spinner flipping. Since flipping a spinner bait was the first thing I learned how to do with one that bothered me a lot. Back then in open water, grassbeds, and rocks my first goto was a crankbait, not a spinnerbait. You smack a tulie on the pitch or flip with an SWL and you have a 50/50 chance of hanging it up. Forget trying to drop it through floating cane mats. That is one of the techniques where an old heavy wire blade does a better job. Of course some folks will ask why in the heck I don't use a jig or creatre bait to flip those spots. Because sometimes the blade catches more fish flipped than a conventional flipping bait. I personally think anybody who does not have a dozen SWLs with various blades and skirts is missing a valuable tool in their aresenal. However, be aware that there are lots of other blades on the market and there are some things that others do as well or better. Oh Yeah.

Bob, you evidently haven't seen the new dual blade lure we are testing. You
say: "There are some dual side by side blades available from other manufacturers if SWL doesn't get one out to you quick enough.", but that won't do anyone any good. The others have zero in common with ours... they don't look like it, fish like it, produce like it or do anything else like it. If it were just another dual side by side lure, we wouldn't consider putting our name on it. -- Bob Rickard Founder and Director www.secretweaponlures.com Better Designs = Better Performance = Better Results First real spinnerbait change in 50 years! ---------------------- ~ 0'))) .................................................. .................................................. ...

I can see all the other reviews your product has received however, and the write-ups I have read are remakably similar in their praise of your new spinners. I like how you have put the Pro Pack in a Plano box to keep things organized. Very nicely done. |

Just a fortunate few have tried them so far -- a handful of SWL Prostaff,
guides, tournament anglers, outdoor editors, and dealers. We're getting feedback on their performance and plan to go to full production this fall and introduce them in the marketplace for 2007. They might be available as early as December. Joe ----------------------- "johnval1" wrote in message t... "Chris Rennert" wrote in message .. .
