Occupation: Owner, TennesseeBassGuides.com
Boat: 2005 Stratos 295 Pro XL
Sponsors: Stratos Boats, Secret Weapon Lures, HProwler, Interstate Batteries, Luhr Jensen, Buckeye Shad, All Pro Rods, High Roller Fishing Lures
Favorite Fishing Style: Light-line and spinning gear with soft plastic shad-baits, tubes, crankbaits, spinnerbaits and buzzbaits.
Tips: How many times have you been on a good spinner bait bite and then the fish just stopped? You know the fish are still there but seem uninterested. In the past the very first thing most of us would do would be cut off the bait and tie on something different. With Secret Weapon in just a matter of seconds with the Quick Change attachment you can change your blade colors or configuration and the bite may very well be back on. This same scenario will work for sudden changes in water color (such as mud lines) or if a heavy cloud cover moves in. Or maybe you have been fishing stained water and then come upon clear water. Keep you bait on-Just change your blades to match the conditions.
These baits are also terrific for controlling your depth. If you have been fishing fairly shallow water and then want to switch to a deeper water presentation but keep the same reel speed and once again all you have to do is Change Your Blades size so the bait will drop deeper but still perform the same. Switch to larger or wider blades to produce more lift so you can retrieve slower and nearer the surface.
I would almost bet most of you have at least one Quad type spinner bait in your box. This is another great example of Secret Weapon Versatility. You can clip on 3, 4, or even more blades to create your own Schooling Minnow Effect .without purchasing another bait. If Smallmouth are hitting the blades and not the bait try this. Attach a treble hook behind the rear blade using a split ring.
Like to fish Rattle Traps? Improve them by converting them to tail spinners. Remove the rear treble hook and clip on a small Secret Weapon willow leaf blade attachment to its tail. The treble hook can be reattached to the end of the blade with a split ring. This same technique can be duplicated on many other types of crankbaits.
The versatility of these baits are only limited by the users imagination. One important thing you need to remember. ALWAYS start with you smallest blade attachment first the move up in size to a larger blade. By doing this the larger blades create a draft for the next smaller blade on the bait.
