Flysmallie Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 and i also put a bunch of different blades in my pocket and can quickly start changing blades until i find the right one that will trigger bites. I used to be that guy. Seemed I always had a bunch of different blades in my pocket. I need to try those spin jigs. That's something I don't have any real experience with.
Royal Blue Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 I'll also add that TR is an excellent SB lake at night more often than not. I've had a ton of success with the black Jewel Jolt SB. Champ188 and dtrs5kprs 2
rps Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 i believe just as with any other fishing tool, spinner baits have a time and place anywhere. there are times here on table rock during the summer, that you can wear out the bass on a spinner bait, and even once in a while it will be a shallow bite, but more often a deep one. you have to use a spinner bait to fit the situation, and that means weight and blade size and style of blade. this one of the reasons that i designed the SpinJig. i can quickly change out the head to find the right weight to be able to fish whatever depth with enough speed to trigger bites, and i also put a bunch of different blades in my pocket and can quickly start changing blades until i find the right one that will trigger bites. i have found that when fishing for deep bass that i have had way more success on a colorado blade over willow leafs. spinners are great fishing tools and should always be in the boat. most of the bass we catch, that same bass can be caught with multiple fishing tools. you just have to figure out the correct depth and speed to get them to bite. of course, you have to be throwing in front of a bass to begin with. being able to locate the bass is the most important part of the process, and then figure out which fishing tool you can use to catch them. bo Bo, you fish your spin jig the way I fish a twin spin. If I can ever find an attachable twin spin I will fish it on your jigs.

Barlow's used to carry a snap on twin spin form, that could be used on any jig with a vertical line tie. Of course it's discontinued. I think Battlefield Wire used to make it. It's on the list of things I'd like to find.

But they don't have that particular form. Folks at Cast do good work, if you need thousands and thousands of something.

dtrs5kprs Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 I'll have to look through my Hagen's catalog. They do have some obscure items.
