Double Willow Spinnerbait
The removable wide-gap hook lets you adjust for various trail-

shorter arm, for longer casts without the dreaded “helicopter-
ing” effect. $8.99

A COOL IDEA: THE OWNER SWING BLADE
Applications: Slow-roll it, or fish it with a lift-hop
retrieve. The spy blade will spin even at the slowest
speeds, while the willow-leaf blade provides some
thump and flash. It’s designed to hold a variety of
swimbaits or other soft-plastic trailers.
Sizes:
1/8 ounce, No. 2 hook
1/4 ounce, 1/0 hook
3/8 ounce, 1/0 hook
