Four Prominent Qualities Of This Spinnerbait Make It Different From Others
1. Its vertical stance and the unique position or angle of the hook as it trails through the water. Most bass caught on it are hooked in the roof of the mouth.
2. The ease with which it swims through brush without getting snagged.
3. The vibration it emits from such a small blade.
4. Several of them will fold and fit in almost any slot that will hold a crankbait, no need for a hanging bait box with this lure.
To lessen the absorbing effect of the weight on main frame vibrations, a 3/8oz. weight is molded around the hook shank which allows the blade and frame wire to vibrate to its full potential.The hook/head assembly is not rigidly attached to the main frame wire and produces fewer hang-ups with the hook swinging up, down and side to side as it crashes into brush and rocks. Twisted swivel loop virtually ends losing blades. The pivoting head allows the hook to slice through the water at a different angle than other spinnerbaits and positions the hook point to penetrate the roof of the mouth of a striking fish. Stays near vertical, even when waking the surface!
