Spinnerbait Theory

[Cajun1977]

you can try the buzzbaits but you aint gonna reel that fasy enough to keep it up near the surface   it would be to heavy with 3 or 4 buzzbaits tied on

Buzzbait = Scared or injured shad

3' long though.

Matt, why aren't you out getting high or vegging in front of the TV like other guys your age?

I'm in awe of you. Your creativity and determination are a wonder to behold. And that photo of your rig hanging on the doorframe is a classic.

Keep at it, man.

We are home schooled, we have 1 to 1, or 1 to 4, student teacher ratio.

Dude I will keep an eye open at home depot for you, they might have something.

Is piano wire thick enough? Anyone else remeber where else piano wire was used for fishing???

I will give you a hint it was in a steven spielberg (sp?)( film.

"Bass DO NOT school. " A school of fish moves in unison, and live together. Bass swim and feed together, but in groups more accuratly called aggregations. They do not coordinate movements, but do prowl an area at the same time. Their feeding efforts aren't coordinated, and they don't remain in the same group. Therefore, bass don't exhibit true schooling behavior."

The above is 100% wrong!!!!!!

I agree with you George.....I've seen plenty of bass schooled up in my lifetime.More smallmouth than largemouth but still they both school up.

i really like your theory but i was thinking about it and thought this could be one route to go. your going for the schooling baitfish look right? your not trying to catch multiple fish at one time, right? so you dont need multiple hooks. i was thinking you could actually make the rig ON the spinnerbait. here are my sketchy drawings. since im not that good of an artist, your gonna have to use your imigination (that you obviously have) and combine the two drawings into one spinnerbait. the final product would have two sets of blades going vertically, and two sets of blades slanted horizontally.

PS. i just thought about adding a wire set of blades identical to the top drawing , coming off the "chin" of the weighted head. yes?

Double PS. since there would be so many blades weighting the bait down, maybe make them out of something really light like aluminum? or something

[JiggaMan512]

maybe like this.. :-/

That rig sort of looks like a tree rig they use for trolling for various saltwater species.  Some lure company came out with a spinnerbait with about 5 blades on it a few years ago. I don't think it's around anymore.

Yeah, bass definetly DO school.

Frogs dont school together.

  ;D that would be funny though! ;D

hmm BpileB, very intresting idea.

how about this, on a larger scale:

[JiggaMan512]

that would work too, i was just trying to keep the blades as "over or under" the hook as possible to prevent short strikes or blade strikes ya know?

[SPEEDBEAD.]

There is a spinnerbait out there right now that has the extra wire in the head....trying to locate, will report back.

[BASS fisherman]

Have you ever seen a bait fish ball?  Do bass act like that?  NO

[WhiteMike1018]

I think we should all hop on a new topic and stop posting on this thread, its a good idea but inprobable until someone actually tries it

someone has tried it, and is still trying it. :-?

I think notebook coil wire is perfect. Strong, thin and light. Making a new rig out of my old note book tomarrow....

I said it before.  "Go for it dude"

Most people are encouraging and some are nay saying.  At this stage of the game neither matters.

You need to make some prototypes, photo them, fish them, report on the results and get our feedback.

Otherwise I'm afraid this thread will become just a dreamers "I'm gonna" fantasy.
