Back in those days (think the 70s Show), spinnerbaits came in a variety of different styles, colors, sizes and three main types of blades: Colorado (round), Indiana (long tear drop) and willow leaf providing a multitude of options for different conditions just as they do today. Add in the fact they are highly snag resistant and the spinnerbait was and still is a fantastic choice for probing the different types of cover bass hang around.
Since my early spinnerbait fishing days predated this thing called the Internet, my spinnerbait education was limited to magazine articles and watching the few TV fishing shows that aired at that time.
Jimmy Houston was one of the early bass pros that was considered to be a spinnerbait guru. Jimmy frequently shared his spinnebrait knowledge via whatever media outlets he could at the time. He was and still is a great source of spinnerbait, as well as shallow water bass fishing knowledge in general and significantly influenced my approach to shallow water bassin' throughout the years.
He still freely shares that knowledge today via various articles, TV shows and on social media sites like his YouTube channels.
So take a couple minutes and watch Jimmy's video describing the importance of spinnerbait vibration and flash in attracting bass and triggering more strikes. You'll be glad you did!
