The best broken cover spinnerbait

Probably a dumb question, but what is broken cover?

Any Crankbait Corp.'s  Fingerlings, Dance's Craw,Heddon's Prowler & Shal-a-minr, Bomber's Speed shads and original Bomber,Normans Little Scooper,Jethro's Shotgun spinnerbaits, and some Storm jerkbait that floats at a 45* angle,with the back 2/3 below the surface (insert name here). Just a few....

Gene Larew Hook Tail worm when they were poured versus injected like they are today. They were softer than Yamamoto's. Color: Tomato

1970's Bagley baits (bring back that old price, too!)

Zoom Wobblers

Original Luck E Strike Salty Sensations (chicken foots)

Roland Martin Big Bass Special Spinnerbaits - I have 2. They rock.

I probably have all the cranks as I bought an old Umco at a flea market and it had everything still in box's.  The only thing missing were the Hellbenders and Mudbugs.

I love those two old plugs for smallies.

reading these posts remind me of an old spinnerbait I used to have... It was very unique and I once ran it thru some submerged logs and snagged a 5 lb. bass... I ended up giving it to a fishing buddy when the golf bug bit a few years back...

Now that I've got back to my bassin' roots I long to find another...

Not sure of the name but it was adjustable- had 3 different setting for a straight, right, and left retrieve...

anyone remember the brand name of this spinnerbait????????? :'(

Bluefox Smartwire spinnerbaits were awesome and the rapala shallow running fat rap i wonder why they discontinued it and there seems to be a lot of demand i wonder why the dont reintroduce them.A mate had over 50 brand new ones in a box a few years ago as they are one of his confidence baits and the whole box got stolen i think it still brings tear to his eyes when he thinks about it.

TrippyJai, Texas Bass Tackle website has the Berkely Power Slugs it looks like they have been reintroduced. I've never used them tell me what you like about them?

i still have like 500 powerslugs. i bought them in bulk from ebay. these things are AMAZING and catches me bass yearly. they STINKK!!! and when bass eat it, then won't let it go.

try the pumpkin seed and u'll enjoy fishing it. I use a 6/0 OWNER hook for them.

Not a dumb question -Not a very good descriptor I guess.

It's a great spinnerbait for broken (discontinuous) slop: Surface weeds clumped and matted with open pockets. The spoon body can be skated over the matts and then the bait bulged beneath the surface slowly through the open pockets. It makes a great wake with large twin Colorado's and the spoon body wags side to side. In the right type of cover I'll simply dedicate a rod to it.  It's caught a lot of big bass for me over the years.

Not so much the lure but a color; Gene Larew discontinued making a Ring Worm in black neon with a clear tail that was loaded with silver glitter, it was a killer night bait. I also have 2 Rogues that Smithwick swears they never made.
