The #1 lure for pike
The spinnerbait combines vibration (blades), flash (metal) and silhouette (skirt). It's the must-have for pike and bass fishing in weeds and stained water.
Anatomy
- Lead head (1/4 to 3/4 oz) with a fixed hook
- V-shaped wire
- 1 or 2 blades: Willow leaf (fast, deep) or Colorado (slow, vibration-heavy)
- Silicone skirt: the "target" the fish strikes
How to fish it
- Slow-rolling: slow retrieve, blade just barely turning. Deep, near bottom. Walleye and bass.
- Burning: fast surface retrieve. Pike on the chase.
- Bumping: let it hit stumps and weeds to trigger strikes.
Weed-resistant
That's its strength: the V-wire deflects weeds before they hit the hook. You can cast into spots inaccessible to crankbaits.
