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.

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, 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.

well, i will correct you about who bought battlefield wire's bending equipment.  it was purchased by a company by the name of hagens.  the reason that  i know is i had to chase down where battlefields equipment and records went.  i designed the SpinJig wire, and jim sparkman figured out how to bend it.  after i chased down this company and after they did a whole lot of looking, sure enough they discovered the records for this particular wire and exactly how in the world it was produced.  glad jim kept that kind of records because i had been through a whole lot of wire benders that did not have a clue how to make this wire, and that included hagens until they found the old records.

i will add that i am pretty certain that cast did end up with the spoon molds for the jigging spoons and possibly the buzz blades.  i deal with cast all the time, and they could not make the wire frames that i need.
