Making A Spinnerbait A Better Thumper.

I purchased a few Mann's Hank Parker spinnerbaits. I took the smallest twin blade spinner bait and installed the next size larger blades giving it more thump. I added a trailer hook and a mister twister split double tail grub trailer.(white) I also changed the skirt to a blue glimmer. I used two different sized blades.

My first trip with it I caught many bass and a 30" pickerel deceided he wanted it more than I did. As I was about to remove it out of the water he came up the Rocky drop off and left with it.

My point is I didn't record any info on what blades I used to make it. When you change a bait make sure you write it down. For future use in case you lose it.

Btw, I swear by using the mister twister split double tails for trailers. You need to fit the larger end to the length of the hook on the smaller spinnerbaits. I also use the longer spinner bait skirts in blue glimmer too. It gives a wider larger look to the spinner bait. You need to install the trailer exactly correct so the spinner bait runs vertically true and uprite with no turning. I just reel it slow. The split double tail grub actually looks alive and it's swimming

have you tried a Luck E Strike Trickster? Talk about a thump. Wow.  But that is a really good idea to make notes of blade changes incase the bait is a goner. thanks for the tip

Booyah Bassinator or Strike king Redeye Shad. They have a lot of thump, and call the bass from long distances
