- GP 1 Summary:
- The Clear-Water Shad Pick
- GP 1 Details:
- Glamour Shad • 1/2 oz • Double Willow • Batey Shad • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 1 Why:
- Batey Shad gives this spinnerbait a natural shad and baitfish profile for clear water. Double willow blades add plenty of flash, while the 1/2 oz size is easy to cast and versatile from shallow water into deeper zones.
- GP 1 How:
- Start with a steady retrieve around points, grass, docks and open-water targets. Fish it high when bass are shallow, or slow the retrieve and let the 1/2 oz head carry it deeper when needed.
- GP 1 When:
- Choose this when bass are feeding on shad or other baitfish in clear water and you want a versatile spinnerbait that can cover a broad range of depths while maintaining strong flash.

- GP 2 Badge:
- Expert Pick #2
- GP 2 Summary:
- The Natural Bluegill Pick
- GP 2 Details:
- Glamour Shad • 1/2 oz • Double Indiana • Big Bluegill • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 2 Why:
- Big Bluegill gives this spinnerbait a very natural sunfish profile that fits clear water well. The double-blade setup adds plenty of flash, while the 1/2 oz size makes it especially effective from shallow to mid-depth water.
- GP 2 How:
- Fish it around grass, docks, wood, rocky banks and other areas where bluegill and sunfish are common. Start with a steady retrieve and adjust your speed to keep it in the depth zone where bass are holding.
- GP 2 When:
- Choose this when bluegill or sunfish are an important forage source in clear water. It is particularly strong from shallow to mid-depth areas where bass are feeding around natural cover.
- GP 3 Badge:
- Expert Pick #3
- GP 3 Summary:
- The Shallow Shad Pick
- GP 3 Details:
- Super Spin Elite • 3/8 oz • Tandem Colorado-Willow • Bleeding Shad 2 • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 3 Why:
- Bleeding Shad 2 gives this spinnerbait a natural shad profile for clear water, while the lighter 3/8 oz weight makes it easy to keep higher in the water column for shallow fishing.
- GP 3 How:
- Fish it around shallow grass, docks, wood, flats and other areas where baitfish are present. Use a steady retrieve and take advantage of the lighter weight to keep the bait running high over cover.
- GP 3 When:
- Choose this when bass are feeding on shad in clear, shallow water and you want a lighter spinnerbait that stays higher in the water column without requiring an overly fast retrieve.
- GP 4 Badge:
- Expert Pick #4
- GP 4 Summary:
- The Schooling-Forage Pick
- GP 4 Details:
- ScatterShad FH-7 • 1/2 oz • Pumpkinseed • Multi-Blade Setup • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 4 Why:
- Pumpkinseed gives the bait a natural sunfish profile, while the multi-blade setup creates heavy flash and can resemble a sunfish chasing a small school of shad or minnows.
- GP 4 How:
- Fish it around areas holding visible baitfish, especially flats, points, grass edges and shallow feeding zones. Use a steady retrieve and let the multiple blades create the flash and schooling effect.
- GP 4 When:
- Choose this when clear-water bass are feeding around small shad or minnows and you want a more visual presentation that combines a natural sunfish profile with the flash of multiple blades.
- GP 5 Badge:
- Expert Pick #5
- GP 5 Summary:
- The Extra-Vibration Shad Pick
- GP 5 Details:
- Super Spin Elite • 1/2 oz • Double Shallow-Cup Willow • Smoked Shad • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 5 Why:
- Smoked Shad keeps the profile natural for clear water, while the shallow-cup willow blades produce more vibration than standard willows without giving up the strong flash that makes double-willow spinnerbaits effective.
- GP 5 How:
- Fish it around points, grass, docks, flats and other baitfish areas with a steady retrieve. Use it when you want the flash of willow blades but a little more vibration and presence in the water.
- GP 5 When:
- Choose this when bass are feeding on shad in clear water but seem to respond better to more vibration. It is a strong option when you want extra thump without moving to a bulkier or less natural presentation.
