About This Lure

A safety-pin wire bait with spinning blades and a skirted head, throwing flash and thump for reaction strikes.

How To Fish It

Cast the spinnerbait parallel to weed edges, laydowns, or docks to trigger aggressive strikes. Use a slow roll technique to bounce the lure off structure, or a steady wind just fast enough to keep the blades spinning through open water.

Retrieve Cadence

A slow, constant cranking pace that maintains blade vibration without lifting the bait too high in the water column.

Pro Tips

Always add a soft plastic trailer like a split-tail grub to improve action and bait profile.
Use a stinger hook when short-striking bass or pike are common.
Kill the retrieve momentarily near brush piles to let the bait flutter and trigger strikes.
Slightly bend the wire arm to change the vibration and blade clearance for specific water clarity.
