Smallie Seeker Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 I broke off a nice bass earlier this year who took off with my white bellied super spook jr. Picked up a yellow one but haven't been able to catch a bass on it! I want my white one back! Quote
LApanic Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 There a dime a dozen at Walmart, just found 2 "yellow belly bass" super spook jrs on ebay for 5 each so I ordered them....caught this 7.5 on one this weekend but took a bunch of paint off. Quote

BadBassWV Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Looks to me like the one in the picture is FL Bass, and the other is Baby bass. Ive had no trouble finding the FL Bass. Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 28, 2014 Super User Posted July 28, 2014 If you love that color so much you can get regular ones and have them custom painted. It will be a little bit more expensive but that way you can be shure you'll always have. Just keep one for sample. 1 Quote

I've ordered the only two I've found and have a guys that paints crank baits for me and already let him know there might be a little more business in his future. Jeff, he does an awesome job, check him out at basscapitolcustomlures.com or Bass Capitol Custom Lures on FB. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted July 28, 2014 Super User Posted July 28, 2014 You can order them right from Heddons website. The color you want is called Florida Bass not baby bass. Quote
Super User tcbass Posted July 28, 2014 Super User Posted July 28, 2014 Switch to KVD Sexy Dawgs in perch color! I've been doing awesome with them this year. Quote
LApanic Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 You can order them right from Heddons website. The color you want is called Florida Bass not baby bass. I think everyone is confused the color that was on the package is FL Bass BUT try and find a FL Bass with this color belly (which the top of the bait isn't as dark as baby bass either) Top is the same as far as I'm concerned If you look closely at the first image in the black box, it's FL Bass labeled BUT fellow belly. Even the eBay seller sold them as "yellow belly bass" color. I've got 3 and a lure painter if need be, so all is good BTW: Pradco Outdoor Brands IS... Arbogast, Bomber, Cotton Cordell, Heddon, Rebel, Booyah, Silver Thread, Xcaliber, YUM and are based in Minnesota. All these companies lost quality of the brands when the joined this big conglomerate, and get crap like this that happens. If you've ever been in a Walmart and seen the bargain boxes, it's all the brands above that have large....running out inventory...sales. the barcode label says Pradco and despite this, buy a pack of plastics out of the box and look for the plastic color....just says "Bass Assorted." Especially with these old tried and true lures that aren't Scatter raps, Arashi's or Livingston sound chips, so to speak, they'll change and change and will eventually die completely...unfortunately The dressed hook is my addition BTW, lol Quote
LApanic Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 Switch to KVD Sexy Dawgs in perch color! I've been doing awesome with them this year. I like sexy dawgs and would be my second choice if the spook vanished, but doesn't have the same knocking sound and even buoyancy IMO. With that said, when the bass are running shad in October, a bone color Sexy Dawg with a white dressed treble, I can work faster and thats all I throw to schoolers. The rest of the time the ol' Spook is the ticket for me anyways Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Isnt that why they make magic markers? To "paint" your hardbaits Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted July 28, 2014 Super User Posted July 28, 2014 Idk... On the Spook, but that's a dag- gone nice LMB you caught on that Spook!! Nice Fish! 1 Quote
LApanic Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 Isnt that why they make magic markers? To "paint" your hardbaits I don't think thats actually why they make magic markers, but I get where your coming from. To me Id rather spend 5-7 bucks on a paint job that will last for years than spend $3 on a marker that will have to be reapplied way to often, especially for a tournament angler. I can understand adding a little color or touch up as I do with red and black sharpies, but the whole belly of a spook!? A standard yellow "magic marker" may do the trick for some, but it's a confidence/mental thing for me personally. Quote
LApanic Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 Idk... On the Spook, but that's a dag- gone nice LMB you caught on that Spook!! Nice Fish! Thanks bud, like mentioned before, if I have confidence that I can catch big largemouth, on the same spook color on the same body of water. Im probably gonna catch bass big or small either way cause Im not gonna set it down after 3 cast 1 Quote

Im probably gonna catch bass big or small either way cause Im not gonna set it down after 3 cast Just like a reel that doesn't work just right or squeaks, or a rod that may be a little long to work a spook from the deck of the boat without hitting the water....call me crazy, but I will set it down or do what I can to fix it because believe it or not, it will always play first fiddle in your mind instead of focusing on catching and landing fish with the best execution. Firm believer in the G-Mans, PMA (positive mental attitude) approach. Caught good fish the same day on a devilhorse but the props and balance was off and something wasn't right at first....it payed off to take 5 min....sit down and fix the issue and move on Quote
