- Expert Pick #1
- GP 1 Summary:
- A natural, premium all-around choice for covering clear to lightly stained water with flash, speed and clean tracking.
- GP 1 Details:
- Glamour Shad | White NATO | 1/2 oz | Double willow | Silver kicker blade | Silver main blade | Hand wire-tied skirt | Gamakatsu hook | Sampo swivel
- GP 1 Why:
- The White NATO color and matching silver willow blades create a tried-and-true presentation that's been catching bass for decades. The 1/2 oz build casts well, tracks clean and covers water efficiently without producing excessive drag or vibration.
- GP 1 How:
- Begin with a steady medium retrieve around points, grass edges, docks and scattered cover. Keep it just above the cover, then increase speed or add a brief pause when it contacts or clears an object.
- GP 1 When:
- Choose another pick when the water becomes heavily stained, light is limited, or bass need more vibration and color to locate the lure. Also switch when you need to retrieve more slowly while keeping the bait higher.

- GP 2 Badge:
- Expert Pick #2
- GP 2 Summary:
- Mixed nickel-and-gold flash with more lift and vibration than standard willow blades for a slower, easier-to-track presentation.
- GP 2 Details:
- Super Spin Elite | Spot Sticker | 3/8 oz | Double shallow-cup willow | Nickel kicker blade | Gold main blade | Hand wire-tied skirt | 4/0 Gamakatsu hook | Sampo swivel
- GP 2 Why:
- The shallow-cup willow blades swing wider and remain active at slower speeds, adding lift and vibration without giving up willow-blade flash. The mixed blade finishes provide two different flash tones.
- GP 2 How:
- Use a steady slow-to-medium retrieve over grass, across flats, beside docks and around scattered cover. The 3/8 oz head and shallow-cup blades make it easier to keep the lure riding above shallow obstructions.
- GP 2 When:
- Choose the Glamour Shad when you want a faster and more natural presentation with less vibration. Choose the tandem pick when stained water, wind or low light calls for stronger thump and visibility.
- GP 3 Badge:
- Expert Pick #3
- GP 3 Summary:
- Chartreuse-white visibility and a Colorado/willow combination for stained water, wind, low light and shallow cover.
- GP 3 Details:
- Super Spin Elite | Chartreuse White | 3/8 oz | Nickel Colorado kicker | Gold shallow-cup willow main | Hand wire-tied skirt | 4/0 Gamakatsu hook | Sampo swivel
- GP 3 Why:
- The Colorado kicker adds thump and water displacement, while the shallow-cup willow main blade adds flash, lift and dependable rotation at slower speeds. Chartreuse White makes the complete presentation easier to locate.
- GP 3 How:
- Fish it with a controlled slow-to-medium retrieve around laydowns, dock posts, grass edges and windy banks. Keep it high enough to contact or clear cover while allowing both blades to maintain their action.
- GP 3 When:
- Choose a double-willow pick when the water clears, bass are feeding mainly by sight, or you need more speed with less vibration. Move to a heavier situational pick when you need to maintain greater depth.
