When I pulled this first batch of 3.5" swimbaits out of the mold, they screamed,"Put me on a spinnerbait!" How would you fish them? What other colors would be good?

I usually use a yamamoto two tailed grub on these little spinnerbaits, but the fish today seemed to like this better.

They would work excellent on a white chatterbait.

I wouldn't. Not my style.....looks like a bass boat. The profile is good as a trailer but that's too much glitter for my taste.....

Why not make something a bit more natural looking?

I would fish those on a WAR head, with or without a skirt. Another really good color besides white is "Halloween". Big Hammer pours that color and it produces well.

Ha! I'm glad I'm not trying to get you on the hook! I'm glad fish see things differently!

I poured these for muddy water striper, so there is no such thing as too much flash!
