The Secret is out – Secret Weapon Lures revolutionizes Spinnerbaits (continued)
 

Picking the right combination: Some anglers actually build their own spinnerbaits from scratch, there are others that are fiercely brand loyal, and then there are those that find confidence in buying a bait endorsed by a tournament pro. Whatever the case may be once you are on the water you are pretty much on your own when it comes to selecting the right spinner. It is up to you to pick the right size, blade style, and pattern for your particular body of water. With the Secret Weapon Spinners anglers have the ability to not only match up the exact weight, size, pattern, and blade style but they can retool on the fly should conditions change. As with all baits little things can make a big difference when it comes to successfully catching fish. Anglers new to spinnerbaits may be intimidated by the sheer number of options available with the SWL system. For those anglers the company has a number of simple easy to use charts (below) that specify which colors, blade styles, and blade sizes they recommend for different applications.

Casting: Once you have chosen what you believe to be the right combination its time to cast your customized bait. All but the smallest spinners are easy to cast with even heavier 12-14lb mono lines. The SWL spinners have the ability to cast even further by adding more weight via the attachment of larger blades. Throughout our tests the SWL spinners were easy to cast directly into the wind. Positioning of spinnerbaits is important as many anglers take advantage of the lure's ability to run weedless through thick structure. It is important to note that if you do choose to use large Colorado or Turtleback blades they are still considered “weedless,” but are much more likely to hang up in weeds than a Willowleaf blade.
