- GP 1 Summary:
- The High-Vibration Shad Pick
- GP 1 Details:
- Glamour Shad • 3/4 oz • Double Colorado • Chartreuse Sexy Shad • Gold Kicker • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 1 Why:
- Chartreuse Sexy Shad gives this spinnerbait a bright baitfish profile that remains visible in muddy water. Double Colorado blades add heavy vibration, while the two gold blades provide strong flash in low visibility.
- GP 1 How:
- Slow roll it around wood, laydowns, channel swings, points and other cover where bass can use vibration to track the bait. The 3/4 oz head also makes it easier to keep the bait down when fishing deeper.
- GP 1 When:
- Choose this when muddy water calls for maximum vibration and a bright baitfish profile, especially when you want to fish slower or maintain depth while still giving bass a strong visual and vibration target.

- Expert Pick #2
- GP 2 Summary:
- The Bright Single-Blade Pick
- GP 2 Details:
- Glamour Shad • 1/2 oz • Single Colorado • Cole Slaw • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 2 Why:
- Cole Slaw gives this spinnerbait a bright, high-visibility profile that stands out well in muddy water. The single Colorado blade adds strong thump, while the gold finish gives bass another visual cue in reduced visibility.
- GP 2 How:
- Fish it around shallow cover, laydowns, docks, grass and channel edges with a steady or slower retrieve. Let the Colorado blade provide the vibration while the 1/2 oz head keeps the bait easy to control.
- GP 2 When:
- Choose this when you want a simple, high-visibility muddy-water spinnerbait with strong vibration and a more compact single-blade profile.
- GP 3 Badge:
- Expert Pick #3
- GP 3 Summary:
- The Maximum-Flash Cole Slaw Pick
- GP 3 Details:
- ScatterShad FH-3 • 1/2 oz • Triple Colorado • Cole Slaw • Orange Kicker • Chartreuse Kicker • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 3 Why:
- Cole Slaw gives this bait the bright profile needed for muddy water, while the three Colorado blades add heavy vibration and multiple flashes of orange, chartreuse and gold to help bass locate it.
- GP 3 How:
- Fish it around shallow cover, wood, grass, docks and channel edges with a steady retrieve. The triple Colorado setup gives off plenty of thump, so it works well when you need the bait to announce itself.
- GP 3 When:
- Choose this when muddy water is especially limiting visibility and you want a loud, bright spinnerbait with multiple visual cues and strong vibration.
- GP 4 Badge:
- Expert Pick #4
- GP 4 Summary:
- The Dark Contrast Pick
- GP 4 Details:
- Super Spin Elite • 1/2 oz • Tandem Willow • Phantom Black • Chartreuse Kicker • Chartreuse Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 4 Why:
- Phantom Black gives this spinnerbait a strong dark silhouette, while the chartreuse blades add bright contrast that remains visible in muddy water. The Super Spin Elite blade setup adds extra vibration without giving up flash.
- GP 4 How:
- Fish it around shallow cover, grass, wood and channel edges with a steady to moderate retrieve. Let the black profile create the silhouette while the chartreuse blades provide the visual target.
- GP 4 When:
- Choose this when you want strong contrast instead of an all-bright presentation, especially when muddy water and low light make a dark silhouette easier for bass to track.
- GP 5 Badge:
- Expert Pick #5
- GP 5 Summary:
- The Black-and-Blue Thumper
- GP 5 Details:
- Night Spins • 1/2 oz • Single Colorado • Black & Blue • Metallic Blue Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 5 Why:
- Black and blue gives this spinnerbait a strong silhouette in muddy water, while the metallic blue Colorado blade adds both flash and heavy vibration to help bass locate the bait.
- GP 5 How:
- Slow roll it around wood, grass, docks, channel edges and other cover where bass can track the thump of the single Colorado blade. Keep the retrieve controlled and let the dark profile do the work.
- GP 5 When:
- Choose this when muddy water calls for a dark, easy-to-track presentation with strong vibration, especially in low light or around cover where a black-and-blue profile excels.
- GP 6 Badge:
- Expert Pick #6
- GP 6 Summary:
- The High-Visibility Inline Pick
- GP 6 Details:
- Kaiser Blade Inline Spinner • 3/8 oz • 4/0 Hook • Muddy Waters • Flo Orange Blade
- GP 6 Why:
- Muddy Waters gives this inline spinner a dark profile, while the Flo Orange blade adds a bright target that stands out in muddy water. The inline design also creates a different vibration than a standard spinnerbait.
- GP 6 How:
- Fish it around shallow cover, grass, wood and edges with a steady retrieve, or slow it down when you want the bait to stay in the strike zone longer. Let the bright blade and inline vibration help bass track it.
- GP 6 When:
- Choose this when you want a compact muddy-water presentation with strong contrast, a bright orange target and a different vibration profile than a standard spinnerbait.
