Spinnerbaits are a staple in any angler's arsenal, offering versatility and effectiveness in a variety of fishing situations. However, within the realm of spinnerbaits, there are choices to be made, particularly regarding the wire arms that hold the spinner blade.
Light wire arms offer a unique set of advantages and disadvantages compared to their heavier counterparts.
Main Advantage:
Increased Vibration: The lighter wire vibrates more readily with the slightest movement, creating a subtle vibration that can attract fish, especially in murky water or low-light conditions.
Main Disadvantage:
Bending and Breakage: The inherent weakness of light wire arms makes them more susceptible to bending or even breaking when encountering large bass and/ornumbers of bass, especially spinnerbaits with r-bend connection points.
Since those anglers who prefer using light wire spinnerbaits also want to catch as many bass on a bait as possible, a cool hack has been developed to help reduce bending and breakage.
Take a few minutes and watch as bass pro Justin Lucas demonstrates how to the hack works...
Pretty cool hack, huh!
If you don't have the right size split ring handy however, a small piece of heat shrink tubing or vinyl tubing (the type used for spinnerbait trailer hook keepers) can work in a pinch!
