Why I won't use a swivel for a spinner bait ever again... - 06/15/10 09:25 PM
After fishing top water and shallow cranks, I threw a booyah black/blue 1/2 oz spinnerbait on my crankbait rig for my last 10-15 minutes of fishing. I use a swivel on my crankbait rod and just threw my spinnerbait on that rod to save time. I tossed my sb, got a bump. Casted again about 20 feet past were I got the bump and she nailed it. Got her near the boat and she jumped. I guess when she jumped the swivel slid off of the 'r-bend' and down to the blade (see pic 1), in turn she quickly straigthen out my lure. Luckily the booyah held up and my Dad netted her.
This is why I'll never use a swivel for a open r-bend spinner bait again.
