We've raised the bar on spinnerbait versatility and performance with our Secret Weapon Sidearm Spinnerbait. Customizing your spinnerbait has never been easier or more effective! (See our illustrated How-To Guide for reconfiguring your Sidearm.)
Like our original QuickStrike Spinnerbait, the Secret Weapon Sidearm employs free-floating, interchangeable, in-line spinner blades. It creates a unique flash and vibration with its two side-by-side spinner blades. This arrangement creates even more fish-attracting commotion in the water than tandem blades mounted in series. And it creates additional lift, enabling you to retrieve this lure at slower speeds than is possible with conventional spinnerbaits. Great for fishing above submerged vegetation or slow-rolling along the bottom, the blades twirl at the slightest turn of your reel handle.
Unlike other dual-blade spinnerbaits, the Sidearm's V-frame blade bar pivots freely, allowing the lure to pass easily through vegetation and cover. Once free of obstructions, equal drag quickly aligns the blade bar and spinner blades.
The Sidearm excels as a single-blade, short-arm spinnerbait, too. Simply slide the double-barrel metal sleeve down the frame to open the R-shaped terminal loop.
 Remove the blade bar, pinch the loop closed and slide the sleeve back in place, and then clip on a Colorado, Indiana, or Turtleback blade attachment, and you have an incredible short-arm spinnerbait, ideal for bottom crawling or as a drop bait for docks, piling, ledges and bluffs.
Need a tandem spinnerbait instead? Just clip two inline blades in series. In seconds, without tools, you can adapt your spinnerbait to take advantage of changing conditions on the water. Don’t be caught short without the perfect spinnerbait. With a few Secret Weapon lure bodies and a handful of blades, you can tweak and test blade configurations until your lure is ideal for every situation.
This lure is available in two weights (5/16- and 9/16-ounce) and ten popular patterns for stained or clear water. Look for it soon in Sidearm ProPack and MasterPacks.
I got on the water about 7 a.m. and was greeted with 46 degrees and a northwest wind at 15 mph. I pulled up on my first spot and in 20 minutes had 7 smallies on the spinner bait, including a 17.5 that probably went over 3 lbs. I ended up catching 13. The key seemed to be keeping the bait up above the dying weeds in about 3' of water. The dual blades keep the bait up with less effort. Those fish refused to come all the way up. I threw a Zara Spook and buzzbait for a while and got no reaction, but running that spinner bait just under the surface was the ticket. Thanks SWL. One more tool in the arsenal! – Chris Rennert, Wisconsin
