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.” |
