clemmy Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Hey all, I'm hoping someone can help me stretch the upper speed limits of a spinnerbait... I'm looking for tips on how to keep it stable... so far I've come up with: heavier head lower head weight keel shape weight better swivel = less resistance Willow? Blade size? Arm Length? Skirt bulk? Arm angle? The ones with question marks are ones that I'm unsure which way to go to increase high speed stability... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Blade size is the #1 reason some spinnerbaits roll on their side. An example for this would be a 1/2oz bait with a size 5 willowleaf main blade. While it looks ok and works fine you will notice that as soon as you begin to start speeding up the retrieve the bait starts that lean to the side. It took me some time to figure out what caused it but once I dropped down to a 4!/2 blade I was able to retrieve it faster before it rolled and with a size 4 blade I can really burn them without the roll. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Maxwell Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Blade size is very important. Willow better than Colorado, Smaller better. Also wire angle important. Smaller angle at line tie, more speed without rollover. Just squeeze upper and lower arms closer together. Tony in Ohio When in doubt, Jerk & Shout.
