I run a 1/2oz White Chartruse double willow 1 gold and 1 silver blade. That is my spinnerbait 90% of the time. In very clear water I have a little different one and if the bite is tougher I go to the Tiny T. I always use a trailer and no trailer hook.

I haven't thrown anything less than a 1/2 oz in the last few years. My most productive spinnerbait was a white and blue translucent skirt that I bought off the yamamoto site, until it broke, 1 oz. I have one of the bluegill KVD's, looks like I better tie it on.

BigBrother Shawn ,

Hey bro im running the same spinnerbait as you in the same colors and blades .. I do switch up too a 3/8 StrikeKing Quad blade at times in shallow depths ! The titanium arm is what i like the most because its pretty darn tuff to bend out from countless attacks .. key word there is "countless" ..haha

I like throwin the Booyah counterstrike spinnerbait double wilow in white and chartreuse and gold and black, which is gooood for banks. I like the 3/8 oz size for those. The other bait i throw is the War Eagle finesse spinnerbait in chartreuse and white in the 5/16 oz size.

For clear water (particularly when smallmouth fishing) during the summer, I like 1/2 oz. Pepper Hawg and Revenge spinnerbaits in shad and translucent skirt patterns. I use double willow blades in clear water during the summertime. I prefer to use nickel blades when its sunny and painted white blades when its cloudy. I pair the bait with a Silver Rainbow Zoom split tail trailer and 1/0 trailer hook. The only retrieve I will use during the summertime in clear water is burning the spinnerbait under the surface as quickly as I can reel with an erratic retrieve. As KVD says, in clear water, I believe you don't want the fish to be able to get a good look at your lure. If the fish are chasing the spinnerbait but won't commit, I will change lures instead of changing retrieves. Something with a more side to side erratic action like a topwater, jerkbait, or fluke would be my next choice if they won't completely run down the spinnerbait.

When I must put smallmouth in the boat it's got to be a S.O.B. Mini-me Spinnerbait, 1/2 oz, double willow, gold and silver blade in a TJ Special.

I like tossing spinnerbaits with willow or willow/colorado combo.
Silver blades on sunny days and gold on darker days. I rarely do a straight retrieve,
I often throw in a few little twitches but always keep the blades going. This has increased
my hook ups a little.

Oh yeah! But if that fails,I then try trolling broken lawnmowers. Just like the local meth
community,the bass like to dabble in small engine repair.
