Everybody has been saying they are Booyah. The picture I saw they all have Hildebrandt blades on them.

You probably picked up on the something that Booyah would not want you to see. Regardless Christie's spinner bait probably has been modified and not an off the shelf version (yet). There are better spinner baits to buy or configure this way.

They talked about it on the live coverage. He changed out the skirt for a living rubber skirt. Didn't say anything about the blade.

I watched him Saturday rig up his spinner baits at the boat staging area. Found out quickly why I am an amateur fisherman. He went through 3 skirts before he got one on that satisfied him. They were all the exact same color. Then he went through 3 paddle tail swimmers before he got one on straight enough that satisfied him. Again, all the exact same color. I couldn't tell what brand of spinner it was. Definitely a 1 oz with a very large Colorado. It actually looked like the old Hank Parker spinners. He had a box of skirts but kept putting on Jimmy Houston's favorite color, white chartreuse with a few blue strands. The amount of work and whittling that went into each spinner bait that he tied on was mind blowing.

That is definitely a Booyah spinnerbait. He might have changed the blade, but I can't tell. Booyah puts a distinguishing red gill mark on the heads of their spinnerbaits, which the pictures show.

That was a special one that I do not believe is still made.

If you watched the live you saw he was swapping skirts... pulled the skirt put a drop of glue in the center threaded it and then put the swim bait on there.

they were the old "living rubber" type skirt.

Pretty sure it was a booyah frame that he put the big blade on. either a big Colorado or Indiana... he really didn't just hold it in your face and let you look at it. he knew it wasn't stock booyah.

that said, it was DEFINATLY 1 ounce, they talked about OVER and OVER in the live broadcast.

Davy Hite noticed before but Christie asked him to hold off saying anything until day 3
