It's not you. It's the reel. I had the exact same thing happen with one, no matter how I adjusted it. I brought it back to bps, they checked it out and confirmed there was an issue and swapped it right out under warranty. It happens.

I have a few of these. They are nice little ultralite lures. Have had some good success with these along with crickhoppers. Bass and sunfish. I would recommend changing the hooks out for stronger ones. I had to on all mine since I've had bass bend and straighten out the stock hooks. size 14 hooks I think. I've had the most success on the green junebug chrome color. Bass seem to love it.

In phoenix az catching bass after bass on spinnerbaits in 80 degree weather. It's brutal I'm telling ya.

I'm on a spinnerbait high right now. Been killing em the last few weeks here. Big ones too, when they explode on one and almost take the rod out of your hands there's no better feeling. In fact I'm almost fishing spinnerbaits only now, and I keep it pretty simple. All white Colorado blades half oz White and chartreuse 3/8 oz willows. White and red 3/8 oz willow. I just vary the retrieves just like any other lure, slow, burn em, twitch em, stop and go til I figure out when they'll hit em.

Just recently I acquired some packs in various colors. last week nothing else was working so I threw on a purple red flake 5inch one, just texas rigged with a ewg. Ended up catching a few just dragging and hopping rigged that way. Just my experience.

Sounds like you are rigging it right, I use these too but yeah they will destroy your plastic fairly quickly with that wire insert.

I would usually fish em slow bumping em occasionally on the bottom, you can straight retrieve and stop and go as well. Pretty versatile bait but your hookups will vary on these, bass tend to toss em pretty easily. As far as the small ones with the trebles underneath, they are great and catch some fish, I've used the crappie ones and caught many bass on em but the problem is they don't hold up at all, bass will rip the tails off so easily and once that happens the bait is worthless so I stopped buying em.

When someone needs help getting out of the pool, you lip em out.

Love em and use em regularly. I typically only use a zoom trick worm with it and it just kills em where I fish. I rarely miss a fish and in fact I don't think I have using these so far. Tht first time I threw these I caught 8 in an hour so they pretty much sold me on them. I typically get great side hooksets or roof of tht mouth hooksets most of tht time.

I think its thru the 26th. At least mine are here az.

My favorite square bill. Prob cause of the price. I throw these all the time both sizes and they just kill. They run true most of the time too. For 3 bucks you really can't beat em for that price. Colors that work for me are oxbow, chrome tennesee shad and white/chartruese back.

Curious. Why fade out the baits? I'm not against it just wondering what the idea is behind this? Don't you want bright bold colors since being under water esp deeper will wash out colors as it is?

Walmart spinnerbaits and buzzbaits for a buck. Creme white pearl swimbaits 2 pack for 1.16 at walmart. Picked up a bomber knock off made by some brand named Excaliber or something. Killed em til a bass pulled the treble hook and eyelet out.
