Bassdozer spinnerbaits - FINESSE spinner baits

POWER FISHING STRENGTH / FINESSE FISHING SIZE: These spinnerbaits are heavy duty with strong Super Vibe wire arms and stout hooks. With the short arm length, half skirt, and compact blades, you get the best of both power fishing and finesse combined. You get a finesse spinnerbait presentation you can use with medium/heavy rod, reel and line strength. You can't get this anywhere else. Only Bassdozer makes them.

FINESSE SKIRT MIMICS FISH GILLS: "The short forward-facing strands bend back and fold over on the retrieve, pulsing like fish gills breathing whenever the lure moves, the gill strands wriggle, flutter and flap open and closed in a breathing movement," Bassdozer teaches us.

HIDDEN BAITFISH PROFILE: Bassdozer reveals, “This spinnerbait head is the size of a 1/4 oz head but can weigh 3/8, 1/2 or more overall because the extra weight is hidden tucked under the skirt. The realism of the eyes, inscribed mouth and gills, plus its hidden minnow body shape presents an overall appearance of a baitfish-shaped profile that shows through beneath the skirt. The billowy, flared nature of the skirt material lets the attractive silhouette of this 'baitfish' show through the skirt, adding an element of allure that's not possible with a standard style spinnerbait head. So, I am not trying to hide the weight mass here. To the contrary, I am juxtaposing the skirt and body in order to offer bass an additional allure, intriguing contrast and the appearance of a baitfish beneath the skirt. It’s like two lures in one. First, a billowy skirt and flashing blades of a spinnerbait. Second, a solid baitfish body like a small crankbait, jerkbait or baitfish within that.”

WORLD'S FINEST FINESSE SKIRTS: Bassdozer explains, “This skirt collar permanently locks the short hairs on so they can not be pulled off the skirt by a fish, and they can not wiggle out from under the collar. The short hairs can't fall out because the collar band will not soften or loosen with use. Three things make this finesse skirt collar so formidable. First, the skirt strands lie atop an inner core hub that the skirt is banded around. Second, a separate outer collar is banded around the outside, which sandwiches the strands between the inner core and outer band. Third, and what makes the short hairs immovable is that an application of transparent glue is used to lock everything into one permanent unit. In this way, the short hairs can never wriggle out from under the collar. The glue is transparent, thin, and you can not even see the glue. Yet every strand is locked practically permanently in place on the collar, and it is unlikely a short-striking or hard-fighting fish can pull any of the short-hair strands out from under this retainer collar.”

GENUINE COPPER BLADES: Bassdozer instructs, "Situations in which copper blades excel include: 1) Tannic brown or tea color water. 2) When bass are feeding on sunfish in thick cover. 3) Slowly hugging and occasional bouncing the bottom to mimic a crawdad. 4) On brown rock, orange clay or red sandstone color banks. Note that copper naturally dulls and tarnishes due to time, air, water, light, oil, dirt, etc."

Bassdozer spinnerbaits - BURNER spinner baits

“These spinnerbaits are made for special high-speed presentations like ‘burning’ (reeling faster than normal, up to as fast as you can handle) and ‘bulging’ (an explosive topwater tactic that few anglers try), but Bassdozer Burner spinnerbaits can be deadly when retrieved at any slow to 'normal' speed too," says Bassdozer.

HOW TO BURN: Bassdozer instructs, “The Bassdozer Burner spinnerbait head is shaped and weight-balanced to run true, stable and smooth without rolling over on its side using a fast retrieve. By ‘burning’ a spinnerbait as fast as possible, the lure is going to stay high in the water column, running about a foot below the surface. With the rod held down, just reel in as fast as possible. Every 20 feet, abruptly pause the retrieve for a split-second which is when a following bass will react and strike. Reel so fast that the bass have to race as fast as they can behind the spinnerbait just to keep up with it. And in the split-second pause you make, the bass overtakes it and swipes at it.”

Bassdozer recommends, “The heavier weights of Bassdozer Burner spinnerbaits can be worked the hardest, fastest and most aggressively. You cannot fish as fast or aggressively with lighter weight spinnerbaits. Instead, I’ll often try to ‘puff’ or 'pulse' the blades once in a while with a rod pull without slowing down. This gives a desirable change of action and imitates a baitfish school scattering, then reforming - but don't slow down the retrieve. Sometimes slowing down can cause chasing bass to turn away and abort the chase when burning blades.”

WHEN TO BURN: Bassdozer instructs us, “This tactic can work any day, but especially on those calm, flat, still days when nothing else works. Common thinking for such conditions is to slow down, go deep, do finesse stuff. However, burning spinnerbaits debunks that myth. It's just not true. Don't slow down on those days - speed up - as fast as you possibly can. Many of these ‘bluebird’ days, I've gone down a bank doing everything in the books, articles and on the Internet that advises what you are ‘supposed’ to do – slow down, downsize - with nary a bite. I'd slow down, fish teeny soft baits hardly moving them, dropshot with ultralight line and so on - with no takers. You'd think no bass were on the bank. But come back down the same stretch - not a cloud in the sky, not a ripple of wind - and burn a Bassdozer Burner spinnerbait just under the surface as fast as you can reel it! Suddenly, it will seem like a miracle as the ‘barren’ bank now seems filled with aggressive bass that materialize out of every spot of cover, every crack and shady spot on the bottom to chase after and smack down these Bassdozer Burners with a vengeance.”

HOW TO BULGE: “Another technique is, with the rod tip held high, to make a high-speed topwater presentation so the blades leave a wake on the surface. A small snap of the rod tip every 20 feet, will make the blades break the surface and disrupts their rhythm for a split-second pause which is when a follower will react and strike. Few anglers ever try to do this,” reveals Bassdozer.

Bassdozer explains, “To bulge, cast the spinnerbait as far as possible. Just before it hits the water, engage the reel and as the line comes taut, start reeling like there's no tomorrow as you sweep and keep the rod tip high overhead. The blades will bulge the surface all the way back to you. Every 20 feet, lift the rod tip so the blades come out of the water. When they come out, they will clack together - and it will appear as if your spinnerbait is exploding. The clacking blades will flail water, the blades will fly every which way, and the spinnerbait head/skirt will jerk over on its side, swerve sideways and then wobble back as it rights itself. Don't stop reeling. Just keep bulging the surface. Never let it under the surface. Ever 20 feet, detonate it. The explosion, the two blades clacking, going two different directions at once as the head/skirt goes a third direction - it looks just like a trio of shad hightailing the heck out of there, blasting through the surface when a bass pursues them. This bulging tactic can work anywhere, but it’s especially deadly bulging over submerged grass beds, underwater wood piles and rock jumbles.”

PRIME SEASONS AND YEAR-ROUND: Bassdozer points out, “Bassdozer Burner spinnerbaits really pay off during two key times of the year. First, burning and bulging them rapidly when the water is warm in summer. Second, hot action continues into autumn, burning and bulging them right through the peak of the fall run when both bass and shad are schooling up and feeding heavily.”

“Remember though, Bassdozer Burner spinnerbaits have the potential to excel any day, any way, at any retrieve speed, even slow to moderate retrieves. Especially whenever bass are intercepting shad balls or other baitfish schools, spinnerbaits work best.”

WHITE ON WHITE: BEST OF BOTH PAINTED AND METALLIC BLADE FINISHES. Bassdozer states, “The outside (convex surface) of each blade is painted lustrous pearl white. The inside (concave surface) of both is unpainted jewelry grade bright nickel electroplated. The two different sides blink on and off as they rotate, pearl-nickel-pearl-nickel and round and round. This duality causes lots of color flutter as well as silvery flicker that's not possible with a blade painted on two sides or an entirely unpainted metal blade combo. These one-side painted blades are the best combination of both painted and metallic finishes.”
