And if I’m seeing a lot of big shad, I like waking a spinnerbait with one big Colorado blade.Checkering Tools Master Set. 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 size blade, all the way up to a 4 in the front and a 6 or 7 in the back. When I go with Colorado blades, I use multiple combinations of sizes. That’s when I want to slow roll it and really feel that vibration of the blades. If I fish in some off-color water, or some really cold water -under 60 degrees -I’ll go to Colorado blades. With largemouth, I’ll try to throw shad colors, but with smallmouth I just try to throw something they can see. Smallmouth are kind of the opposite of largemouth. Smallmouth are visual feeders and you want something that’s pretty bright -white, chartreuse or a combination of the two. You gotta have something with some weight to keep it down below the surface. If you go to a spinnerbait that’s too small, the faster you reel it, the bait blows out. My choice for smallmouth and clear water is a 3/4-ounce Booyah Spinnerbait with No. When I’m smallmouth fishing, I want something with some small willow leaf blades and something with a lot of weight so I can make long casts and something that I can reel fast. There are a lot of different spinnerbait styles for you to choose from, but I keep it simple with a few basic styles. It can be coming up or going down, so we’re getting right back into one of my favorite times to throw a spinnerbait.
My two favorite times of the year to throw a spinnerbait are the spring and the fall when the water’s in that 50-65 degree range. The thing I like most about a spinnerbait is that it’s a “big fish” bait. I’ve seen the fish’s preferences change during the day where at the beginning they want it faster and then they go to wanting it down deeper and then just slow rolling it on the bottom. You may come down a log and that bait allows you to do whatever you need to. A lot of times in the fall, I’ll throw that bait up on the bank and fish it kind of quickly and then get it out there and slow roll it. But I can tie on spinnerbait, and on the same cast, I’m able to change the depth of that bait.
