Introduction:
Secret Weapon expands
their arsenal with more products this season, the common theme behind all these
new lures is the ability to customize the lures on the fly, giving anglers
increased freedom to target bass in a wider variety of applications.
The Sidearm Spinnerbait can be
customized with two parallel running blades to create even more commotion in the
water
Sidearm Spinnerbait:
At the
show we were met by the president of Secret Weapon, Joe Haubenreich, who showed
us his newest designs starting with the Sidearm Spinnerbait. Designed for
anglers who want to adapt quickly to changing conditions, the Secret Weapon
Sidearm offers anglers more options than ever before when it comes to
spinnerbait customization.
Anglers can add or subtract
different blades
A
removable V-frame blade bar supports dual, side-by-side spinner blade
attachments. Not only can these Quick-clip, inline blades be removed and
replaced in seconds, but the entire blade bar can be un-clipped and the bait
converted to a single- or tandem-blade short-arm spinnerbait. The Sidearm is
designed for targeting bass, pike, and muskies in freshwater and snook and
redfish in the salt. There are 18 patterns in three sizes and four blade
combinations and each kit retails for $8.49.
The Crank, Spin & Buzz kit gives
anglers plenty of options
Crank, Spin & Buzz Kit: Looking for even
more flexibility? Secret Weapon offers a 22 piece kit which includes everything
that you need to swim a jig, make your own spinnerbaits, or make your own
buzzbaits. Like all of Secret Weapon's other lures this kit can be customized on
the fly in seconds.
Combine a swimming head with a
blade arm and you have a spinnerbait
The kit comes with a variety of Culprit trailers
and eight premium silicon skirts so you can mix and match colors. To vary
retrieves a number of different blade types are also bundled. Each kit retails
for $29.99 and is available now.
Secret Weapon brings back the
popular Clacker Spinnerbait
The Clacker is back:
Persuader
American Angling was the distributor for this lure back in 2005 and now Secret
Weapon has an exclusive license for this proven product, and is reintroducing
them as the "Pro Assassinator Clacker."
The
patented wire frame of the Pro Assassinator Clacker spinnerbait allows the twin
willowleaf blades to spin independently but occasionally collide with each
other. The clacking noise and erratic flutter of the flashing blades is designed
to draw attention and incite strikes. These precision-crafted spinnerbaits offer
the same top-quality finish and components that anglers have come to expect of
all Secret Weapon products. Available in a wide range of patterns the Clacker is
available now for $7.99 each.
The Recoil Rig features a
Spectastic ballistic cord to create a more lively action
Recoil Rig: The Recoil Rig is an addition
to a drop shot rig and is designed for coaxing strikes from fish under docks and
lay downs, along walls, or around various types of cover. It utilizes a 15 pound
test SpecTastic ballistic cord which provides a recoil action which causes the
lure to shake and vibrate much more so than just on the end of a traditional
drop shot line. Unlike traditional rigs where working the lure means pulling it
away from fish holding structure the Recoil Rig keeps the action right in the
strike zone.
