Good looking plug and idea. How does it swim, does it have a tendancy to spin?

My favirote fresh water bass lure spring and nights is a spinnerbait . I found I could catch fish just changing the blade ,by changing the vibration pattern in the water . I'd throw my favirote black spinnerbait at night with a 5 colorado . Slow rolling it you could feel the blade chug , chug ,chug, .. I'd be catching nothing ,when I'd switch to the exact same bait only with a willow blade . I'd usaully be succesful catching large fresh water bass . I'd call this tecnique playing to the latteral line . The fish would feel the change in vibration and mother nature would make the fish hit the lure by instinct ,, it was weak or injured . Take out the weak .. strengthen the gene pool ,, insure survival .Savage, but in there world probably true.. Just my theory why.. So like so many other saltwater baits this idea comes from freshwater.. feel free to copy ,, like I could stop ya .

Eddie, Poes has a hanger and spinner blade arrangement just like that on there Flaptails though instead of being up front it's at the rear of the plug and a touch shorter but the same design. It's a screw eye bent on a 90 degree angle a half inch out from the body and there is a swivel and colorado blade on it. Yours is only different in that it is forward and the wire a bit longer.

Why even try.........

Mikey, the basic premise, regardless of placement is the same. Now don't cause any trouble here, that's my job.

Taggers work is good, no doubt and I don't mean to demean his work in anyway, shape or form, but the simple fact, which he asked an opinion of, is that the basic premise has been done before regardless of if it's a needle, flaptail or anything else.

Eddie, rock on Brother, the fish will dig it and that's all that counts.

Why even try.........
