- The Classic All-Around Spinnerbait
- GP 1 Details:
- Glamour Shad • 1/2 oz • Double Willow • Show White • Nickel Kicker / Gold Main • Hand Wire-Tied Skirt • 24k Gold & Nickel-Plated Blades • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 1 Why:
- A white spinnerbait has proven itself for decades across a huge range of conditions. This 1/2 oz Glamour Shad pairs a clean baitfish profile with double willow blades for versatile flash and easy retrieves.
- GP 1 How:
- Start with a steady medium retrieve around grass, docks, laydowns, points, and shallow cover. Speed it up for aggressive fish or slow it down when you want the bait to run deeper.
- GP 1 When:
- Choose this when you want a dependable starting point without a strong reason to specialize. It is especially good around shad and light-colored baitfish, but its strength is its versatility.

- Expert Pick #2
- GP 2 Summary:
- The Shallow Bluegill Pick
- GP 2 Details:
- Super Spin Elite • 3/8 oz • Tandem Willow • Wicked Sunfish • Orange Kicker / Gold Main • Hand Wire-Tied Skirt • Premium Plated Blades • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 2 Why:
- Bass regularly feed on bluegill and sunfish around shallow cover. Wicked Sunfish provides that forage profile, while the 3/8 oz weight makes it easy to keep the bait high in the shallow water column.
- GP 2 How:
- Work it around grass, docks, laydowns, bushes, and shallow wood. Start with a steady retrieve, then use cover contact, pauses, or direction changes to trigger reaction bites.
- GP 2 When:
- Choose this when bluegill or sunfish are important forage, especially in shallow water. It is a strong option around grass, docks, spawning areas, and other bluegill-rich cover.

- Expert Pick #3
- GP 3 Summary:
- The Slow-Rolling Pick
- GP 3 Details:
- Glamour Shad • 3/4 oz • Single Indiana • Chartreuse & White • Gold Blade • Hand Wire-Tied Skirt • 24k Gold-Plated Blade • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 3 Why:
- Built for slow rolling, the 3/4 oz head holds depth while the single Indiana blade adds flash and vibration without excessive drag. Chartreuse and white is a proven color across many water conditions.
- GP 3 How:
- Let it sink to the target depth, then retrieve it just fast enough to keep the blade turning. Keep it near the bottom, cover, or the depth where bass are holding.
- GP 3 When:
- Choose this when bass are deeper or you need a slower presentation. It excels on deeper points, channel swings, bluff ends, submerged cover, and other areas below the shallow zone.
- GP 4 Badge:
- Expert Pick #4
- GP 4 Summary:
- The Baitfish School Pick
- GP 4 Details:
- Scatter Shad FH-4 • 1/2 oz • Quad Willow • Gizzard Shad • Gold / Silver / Gold / Silver • Hand Wire-Tied Skirt • Gold & Nickel-Plated Blades • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 4 Why:
- Four willow blades create a concentrated burst of flash that can suggest a small group of fleeing baitfish. It gives this spinnerbait more presence around shad schools than a traditional blade setup.
- GP 4 How:
- Use a steady retrieve through areas holding baitfish, then vary speed to match their activity. Run it beside shad schools, across flats and points, or anywhere bass are pushing forage.
- GP 4 When:
- Choose this when bass are actively feeding on schools of shad or other baitfish. It is especially useful when bait is visible, fish are schooling, or extra flash can help draw attention.
