Giant spinnerbaits !
First of all, I have to say, my biggest bass on a spinnerbait was not quite 6 lbs, although I have caught a bunch of 4's and 5's.
Last year in about April, I had been fishing Coyote, mostly with live dads and doing very well. Then in a period of a few days, the lake got really murky, as they dumped a bunch of water into it from the lake above. Our dad bite was ruined, but I told my buddy I thought a white spinnerbait could work. I even tied one on and threw it around a bit, but didn't put much heart into it.
Later that day these two guys come up and pull a 10 1/2 and an 11 3/4 lb'er out of there livewell..... and then show us the lures they were throwing....... A WHITE SPINNERBAIT !!! I knew it !

Anyway, how about a big spinnerbait ? NO, I mean a BIG spinnerbait ! Like a skirt which trails back 6 to 8 inches long ! A trailer hook could be added with a short cable leader. Where can I get those big Musky size blade baits ? I don't care if I have to use my trout lure rod to throw one ! Then I was thinking about this too..... a much longer, maybe a little thicker, skirt, would add very little drag to the bait, even though it gave a much bigger profile. A willowleaf blade could be HUGE too, and not create a ton of resistance...... Can I buy something like this, or do I have to make it ?

I really think this could be good at any of the trout planted lakes early in the year, say mid Feb through mid March when the water was still murky.... or even if it got murky later from a late rain, or water being dumped in from a lake above (like Coyote had early this year)

Pretty hyped about this. Can you tell from my novel ??? :-)

Peace,
Fish
