I like black with a single colorado blade. Used to be one that had a black blade as well that always fished well.

Ya , I believe Flysmallie is right and I like it to weigh a 1/2oz and made by Stan Sloan's company it's called the Zorro Rattlin Agravator and the black blade would be my choice also and I really like to stop that bait where there is structure drop off or heavy cover and let it helicopter on a tight line. That short arm has been catching largemouth for me since the 1960's when I used Virgil Wards Tarantula and Scorpion short arm spinner baits. I'm glad you posted this I had forgotten how much fun it is to drop that bait in the dark and feel the blade turning and all of a sudden you feel no vibration or something, as Billy Westmoreland used to say, "nock the fire out of it". It's the one bait I always use heavy line on because usually you are you are pulling fish out of heavy cover in the dark and there is no way I'm going to reach in a dark brushpile and try to lip a fish in the dark ever again.......I also like to use a short arm for smallies I don't know why I just seem to do better.

a black Bass Buster Scorpion, 1/2 oz, with a big Colorado blade, and a black #11 uncle josh frog behind it. Memories....... Crank it just fast enough to feel the blade rotating.

I throw a 3/8 oz. black.black blue, black red,black brown single spin with #5 colorado blade.Gold is an excellent choice with a black nickel blade a close second.Short arm baits work the best.It must have a sampo swivel.Six feet of water or less is preferred for this size bait.Throw close to the bank ,raise the rod to start the blade spinning,reel a few turns,slowly lower the rod,take up the slack,if it is heavey set the hook.I seldom use a straight retrieve.I make my baits with.040 wire and 5/0 owner hooks.Deeper water calls for heavier baits.A #11 pork frog in a dark color such as blue/black seems to entice the fish to hold on longer.Clear water lakes work best.I fish 11pm-5am on nights with out alot of moon.The darker the better.
