Cool Spinnerbait!

Leave it to the Japanese.  They always think of the good stuff.

[Catt]

That is an outstanding idea; during early pre-spawn when bass first show up in the shallows I will cast to the edge of the buck brush and flutter the spinner bait to the bottom before starting a slow roll.

[SimonSays]

nice! where can you pick up one of these?

[Bobby Uhrig]

Its not streamline- There will be no use for that in the weeds. One of the atributes of a spinnerbait is to use it in the weeds. That looks like it will catch more weeds because of the angle of the obstructive arm. Regular arms are at an angle that the weeds will basically roll off. Having that clip is just more hardware to catch debris. JMO

I disagree! I don't think this spinnerbait will catch any more weeds then others. But in the lake I fish there are hardly any weeds anyway, I still catch fish with spinnerbaits.

Not sure, found it on ebay by accident.

I agree with Bobby, not only that, a willow leaf blade does not helicopter on the fall like a colorado blade does and with mulitple blades it will do even less.

I wouldn't purchase one and wouldn't use one if I got it free.

[Bobby Uhrig]

Hmmm they  The bass)might have the tendency to hit the blades more often than the hook. Looks like it could be a great wake bait if there werent any weeds. HMMM straight up arm with a blade underneath- Make the top blade -hey-trade it out for a cavitron blade-with a willow underneathHMMMMMMM- Japanese my A$$- they never invented a car-TV-DVD- Just good at copying and reinventing maybe .

I could care less about the adjustable arm--that is a nice looking spinnerbait even without it

[Bassin_Fin@tic]

I'm still trying to figure out what makes it special

[Bobby Uhrig]

FourBiz -my point exactly LOL

It is a very nice and interesting spinnerbait. I, for one, would think it would catch bass. However, would it catch bass better than a conventional spinnerbait? Or just the same? To a fish would it be that much more different?

The arm swinging down so the blades can helicopter on the drop sounds like a good idea and it might make for a better bait for that certain situation, but past that it's just a spinnerbait. But then again, what do I know? I'm not a pro.

I like using different baits. Some work better, some don't. You won't know until you try it!

[Bobby Uhrig]

It will give a different look to the fish. As for the "helicopter fall"-the blades will not trap a lot of water-second the blades at that angle will be farther away from the body or hook- therefore the bass has a one in three shot of hitting a blade(makes more sense) than the body with the hook. What is most important about baits is their functionality. I have seen baits that look awsum and never really did much for me. I have seen the new crankbaits that are out -The most beautiful paint jobs ever but I truely believe that it is the action of the bait that triggers the strike. I have seen beautiful poppers with beautiful paint jobs on the top- The fish never see the top of the bait -they see the bottom.DAH!!!The fish cannot see certain details under low light conditions or certain water clarities. They sell fishermen more than fish. If that head was on a regular arm spinnerbait- I would buy one -not for $9.99 but 6 bucks I'm in JMO
