Super User ChrisD46 Posted January 30, 2024 Super User Posted January 30, 2024 Excluding the Owner Flashy Swimmer here - what is your current favorite under spin jig head for bass (i.e. Fish Head , War Pig , Blade Runner brands , etc. ) . * Here are my pet peeves with under spins : 1) Poor swivel which does not allow the underspin blade to rotate properly at a slow retrieve speed . 2) The underspin design does not have enough separation / gap for the blade from the soft plastic trailer to prevent unhindered blade rotation during the retrieve . Having a good hook - along with a good trailer keeper are pluses … With the above said , what are your current favorite underspin which have a high quality design and work properly as intended ?

Dogface Posted January 30, 2024 Posted January 30, 2024 Do you have an issue with the "Flashy Swimmer"? I just purchased some from TW but have not yet received them. Quote
rangerjockey Posted January 30, 2024 Posted January 30, 2024 I can't say it's absolutely the best but I like the Cool Baits. 1 Quote

Super User FryDog62 Posted January 30, 2024 Super User Posted January 30, 2024 I also use Flashy Swimmers with larger 4-5 inch Keitech FAT swimbaits - and then the Hogfarmer 1/4 oz for either 3 or 4 inch Easy Shiners. They hold up well ~ 5 Quote
softwateronly Posted January 30, 2024 Posted January 30, 2024 My 2 favorites are the Raid liberos and the dirty jigs tb mini underspin, but these are for 2-3.5" baits. The larger ones don't produce for my waters as well, but I use dale hollow and fishhead stand up spin and like them. scott Quote
Super User NorthernBasser Posted January 30, 2024 Super User Posted January 30, 2024 Besides the Flashy Swimmer, this is my favorite. By WARBAITS. Also comes without weed guard. 5 Quote
Super User Log Catcher Posted January 31, 2024 Super User Posted January 31, 2024 I like the Swormin Hornet Fish Head Spin. I haven't used used the Flashy Swimmers a lot but I have only ever had one hit on them. 1 Quote

Terry_ Posted February 3, 2024 Posted February 3, 2024 True South Custom Lures Gamer heads for me. I like the eyes and 2/0 Owners! A little "finessey" ,but I mostly throw smaller swimbaits on these in a little restricted lake close to home that is absolutely loaded with little spotted bass. 2 Quote
Super User webertime Posted February 3, 2024 Super User Posted February 3, 2024 Raid Libero for me. Quote
RipzLipz Posted February 3, 2024 Posted February 3, 2024 I don’t fish them often, something I plan to address this year. However, the Bait Monkey Financial Advisors, being the vigilant group they are, have forced recommended I have some Owner Flashy Swimmers (both willow & Colorado) along with Picasso Smart Mouth swimbait jig heads, of which lighter heads can be used on A-rigs as well. I like these because they’re offered in weights from 1/16 to 3/8oz & hook sizes 3/0 to 5/0 for each weight, and with either a 90° Gamakatsu or 30° Mustad hook. 1 Quote
Dvo509 Posted February 4, 2024 Posted February 4, 2024 I really like the queen tackle LS tungsten underspin. Quote
Super User king fisher Posted February 4, 2024 Super User Posted February 4, 2024 I haven't tried this one, but I may buy a couple for this spring. Has anyone had any success with this? Quote
wonkyrig Posted February 5, 2024 Posted February 5, 2024 Spot choker makes a great underspin. Also use dirty jigs and occasionally coolbaits. Quote
flatcreek Posted February 5, 2024 Posted February 5, 2024 Storming Hornet by Rick Steckleberg has been the best I’ve fished. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 5, 2024 Super User Posted February 5, 2024 So far Dirty Jigs makes my favorite. Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted February 5, 2024 Author Super User Posted February 5, 2024 Great replies - a number of suggestions I have not heard of previously . Goes hand in hand with : “When to use an under spin with a paddle tail swim bait versus using a paddle tail swim bait alone without an under spin” . Quote
