About This Lure
A weighted head with a small underslung blade paired with a swimbait for a flashing, natural profile.
How To Fish It
Cast your underspin past target structures like brush piles, docks, or drop-offs and allow it to sink to the desired depth. Maintain a slow, steady retrieve to keep the bait swimming just above the fish, utilizing the blade's flash to draw reaction strikes in open water or around sparse cover.
Retrieve Cadence
A slow, consistent reel handle turn that keeps the blade thumping without the lure rising to the surface, occasionally punctuated by a 'kill' where you stop reeling for a second to allow the bait to pendulum downward.

Pro Tips
- Always match your plastic trailer size to the actual baitfish the bass are currently eating.
- If you feel the blade stop spinning, speed up your retrieve slightly to clear debris or re-engage the thump.
- Swap your factory swivel for a higher quality ball-bearing swivel to ensure the blade spins at the slowest retrieve speeds.
- Focus on fish suspended off the bottom rather than tight to the floor.
