WHITE---tandem blades--don't really matter who makes it, long as it has a good tick to it---3/8 and 1/2oz.---always a trailer and trailer hook

That's my story and I'm stickin to it

i'm with RTG on the Hawg caller

Big Monk hit the nail on the head. White with blades that I can feel.

I'm a stone cold solid Bill Dee's SOB spinnerbait man. I've tried them all, but I've narrowed it down to a few.

#1 color is PS04 Blue Glimmer. w/ silver blades

#2 color is Chart/Blue/White. w/ gold blades

I use these 2 colors in 1/2oz Mini-Me, 3/8 and 3/4oz sizes mostly.

#3 color is Chart w/ Flo. red and copper colorodo blades This is our Muddy Water Special 3/8oz mostly

and you always got to keep a couple of 1oz in the first two colors for DEEP water or Windy days. If I'm tring to fish deep I go w/ single willow. Fast up near the suface {like clear water-hunting fish} I go to dlb. willow. If I need a thump {in muddy or COLD water} I use Colorodo or Mag. Willow.

This is the SHORT version....I could right a book!!! LOL CYA

Hope no one from around here reads this..... :twisted: I don't use a blade bait alot but when I do it is because The bass have moved into the shallows for prespawn and are in the tree tops. I use a solid white Picasso. White skirt white head 2# 4 white willow blades and white trailer. Now the secret to it is UM Um Um I take a tooth pick and some red paint and draw two very small red lines on an angle across the blades. And how many fish did we all cacth back when we were young on a red and white dare devil...........................??? Well it still works to day to folks but in the spinner baits it works even better..............lol

Chartruese/white skirt combo willow/colorado blades with chartruese split tail trailer soaked in LPT and tips dipped in red garlic spike it. Slow rolled through anything and I mean sloooooww. That's pretty much my confidence bait and I always catch something on it. Not necessarily LM's but something. *LOL*

fish are shallow (1-4 feet).........................1/4oz
everyday fishing (little deeper than 4').......3/8oz -----generally my go to size
little deeper or windy days........................1/2oz
winter time..............................................1 1/4oz or 1 1/2oz (you better break out that flippin stick )

Clear water........... White and willow blades
Off Color water...... white/chart with either double willow blades or colorado/willow blades
Stained water..........chart with either willow/coloado or double colorado
Muddy water (less than 1' visibility) solid color like black or brown/orange with double Colorado blades.

I like triple blades if I know fish are chasing bait actively. And only triple willows.

I like trailers, I experiment between twin-tail and curly-tail........seems I have more luck with twin-tail when swimming and curly-tail when yo-yo'ing.

I like keeping a bait as compact as possible, thus I've never taken a liken to those long armed single spin baits of the past.

10-14lb test line most of the time. 17lb with Tha Big Gun........anything less and it will break the line just throwing it

JoJo's SP04...................had one, lost it, he won't let me have another

Terminator T1 in the colors stated above.
