- Expert Pick #2
- GP 2 Summary:
- The Versatile Mid-Depth Spinnerbait Pick
- GP 2 Details:
- Glamour Shad • 3/4 oz • Double Willow • Smoked Shad • Nickel Kicker • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 2 Why:
- The heavier 3/4 oz build covers a wide mid-depth range, letting you slow-roll it near the bottom or fish it faster higher in the water column depending on how the fish are responding.
- GP 2 How:
- Slow it down when fish are holding deeper or near bottom cover, or increase retrieve speed to keep it higher. The extra weight helps it stay stable and hold depth across a broad range.
- GP 2 When:
- Choose it in 6–14 feet when you want one spinnerbait that can cover multiple depths. Smoked Shad gives you a natural baitfish profile that works well from clear to stained water.

- GP 3 Details:
- Perfect Swimmer Swim Jig • 1/2 oz • Threadfin Shad • Silicone Skirt • No Rattles • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 3 Why:

- GP 3 How:
- Swim it through the 6–14 foot range around submerged cover or just above the bottom. Adjust retrieve speed to keep it at the depth where fish are holding.
- GP 3 When:
- Choose it when bass are holding deeper than typical shallow swim-jig water and you want a more subtle baitfish presentation than a spinnerbait.
