Excluding the Owner Flashy Swimmer here - what is your current favorite under spin jig head for bass (i.e. Fish Head , War Pig , Blade Runner brands , etc. ) . * Here are my pet peeves with under spins : 1) Poor swivel which does not allow the underspin blade to rotate properly at a slow  retrieve speed . 2) The underspin design does not have enough separation / gap for the blade from the soft plastic trailer to prevent unhindered blade rotation during the retrieve . Having a good hook - along with a good trailer keeper are pluses … With the above said , what are your current favorite underspin which have a high quality design and work properly as intended ?

Do you have an issue with the "Flashy Swimmer"?

 

I just purchased some from TW but have not yet received them.  

I can't say it's absolutely the best but I like the Cool Baits.

It looks like I ordered some of them also. 

I also use Flashy Swimmers with larger 4-5 inch Keitech FAT swimbaits - and then the Hogfarmer 1/4 oz for either 3 or 4 inch Easy Shiners. They hold up well ~

My 2 favorites are the Raid liberos and the dirty jigs tb mini underspin, but these are for 2-3.5" baits.  The larger ones don't produce for my waters as well, but I use dale hollow and fishhead stand up spin and like them.

Besides the Flashy Swimmer, this is my favorite. By WARBAITS. Also comes without weed guard. 

 

I like the Swormin Hornet Fish Head Spin. I haven't used used the Flashy Swimmers a lot but I have only ever had one hit on them.

No not at all , just considering something in a jig head style .

True South Custom Lures Gamer heads for me. I like the eyes and 2/0 Owners! A little "finessey" ,but I mostly throw smaller swimbaits on these in a little restricted lake close to home that is absolutely loaded with little spotted bass. 

Raid Libero for me.

I don’t fish them often, something I plan to address this year. However, the Bait Monkey Financial Advisors, being the vigilant group they are, have forced recommended I have some Owner Flashy Swimmers (both willow & Colorado) along with Picasso Smart Mouth swimbait jig heads, of which lighter heads can be used on A-rigs as well. I like these because they’re offered in weights from 1/16 to 3/8oz & hook sizes 3/0 to 5/0 for each weight, and with either a 90° Gamakatsu or 30° Mustad hook.

 

I really like the queen tackle LS tungsten underspin. 

Blade runner spintrix 

I haven't tried this one, but I may buy a couple for this spring.  Has anyone had any success with this?

Spot choker makes a great underspin. Also use dirty jigs and occasionally coolbaits.

Storming Hornet by Rick Steckleberg has been the best I’ve fished.

So far Dirty Jigs makes my favorite. 

Great replies - a number of suggestions I have not heard of previously . Goes hand in hand with : “When to use an under spin with a paddle tail swim bait versus using a paddle tail swim bait alone without an under spin” .
