- Expert Pick #1
- GP 1 Summary:
- The Bright Shad Pick
- GP 1 Details:
- Super Spin Elite • 1/2 oz • Tandem Willow • Chartreuse Shad • Orange Kicker • Nickel Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 1 Why:
- Chartreuse Shad is bright enough to stand out in stained water while still keeping a natural baitfish profile. The orange kicker gives bass a clear target, and the nickel main blade adds strong flash.
- GP 1 How:
- Fish it around grass, wood, docks, points and other shallow to mid-depth cover with a steady retrieve. Adjust speed to keep the bait in the strike zone and let the blade flash and orange kicker do the work.
- GP 1 When:
- Choose this when stained water still has enough visibility for flash and color to matter, especially when bass are feeding on shad and you want a brighter presentation with a clear strike target.

- Expert Pick #2
- GP 2 Summary:
- The High-Vibration Natural Pick
- GP 2 Details:
- Super Spin Elite • 1/2 oz • Double Shallow-Cup Willow • Blue Herron • Nickel Kicker • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 2 Why:
- Blue Herron gives this spinnerbait another bright but natural stained-water profile. The nickel and gold blades add contrasting flash, while the shallow-cup willows produce more vibration than standard willow blades.
- GP 2 How:
- Fish it around grass, wood, docks, points and other cover with a steady retrieve. Use it when you want the flash of double willows but a little more vibration to help bass locate the bait in stained water.
- GP 2 When:
- Choose this when you want a natural-looking baitfish profile with extra vibration and mixed blade flash, especially when stained water reduces visibility but bass are still willing to chase.
- GP 3 Badge:
- Expert Pick #3
- GP 3 Summary:
- The High-Contrast White Pick
- GP 3 Details:
- Glamour Shad • 1/2 oz • Double Willow • Show White • Gold Kicker • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 3 Why:
- Show White creates strong contrast in stained water, while the double gold blades add the flash needed to help bass find the bait when visibility is reduced.
- GP 3 How:
- Fish it around grass, wood, docks, points and other cover with a steady retrieve. Let the white profile stay visible while the double gold blades add flash through the stained water.
- GP 3 When:
- Choose this when stained water calls for a highly visible white profile and strong blade flash, especially when bass are feeding aggressively enough to react to a brighter presentation.
- GP 4 Badge:
- Expert Pick #4
- GP 4 Summary:
- The Premium Orange-Kicker Pick
- GP 4 Details:
- Glamour Shad • 1/2 oz • Tandem Willow • White Nato • Orange Kicker • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 4 Why:
- White Nato gives this Glamour Shad a bright, high-contrast profile for stained water, while the orange kicker adds a proven strike target and the gold main blade delivers strong flash.
- GP 4 How:
- Fish it around grass, wood, docks, points and other cover with a steady retrieve. Let the orange kicker and gold main blade provide extra visibility while the tandem setup keeps the presentation balanced.
- GP 4 When:
- Choose this when you want a premium stained-water spinnerbait with strong contrast, gold flash and the added strike-target effect of an orange kicker blade.
- GP 5 Badge:
- Expert Pick #5
- GP 5 Summary:
- The Natural Chartreuse Pick
- GP 5 Details:
- Glamour Shad • 1/2 oz • Tandem Willow • Warmouth • Chartreuse Kicker • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 5 Why:
- Warmouth blends a muted chartreuse body with a natural green pumpkin back, giving this bait strong visibility without losing realism. The chartreuse kicker matches the skirt and creates a clear strike target, while the gold main blade adds flash.
- GP 5 How:
- Fish it around grass, wood, docks, points and other stained-water cover with a steady retrieve. Let the chartreuse kicker and gold main blade add visibility while the natural back keeps the profile believable.
- GP 5 When:
- Choose this when you want more color than a natural shad pattern but less brightness than a full white or chartreuse bait. It is especially useful when bass are feeding around bluegill, sunfish or mixed forage.
- GP 6 Badge:
- Expert Pick #6
- GP 6 Summary:
- The Heavy-Cover Pick
- GP 6 Details:
- Swing Blade • 1/2 oz • Tandem Willow • Chartreuse Shad • Orange Kicker • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 6 Why:
- The Swing Blade lets you Texas-rig your favorite trailer for an almost snagless spinnerbait setup. Chartreuse Shad, an orange kicker and a gold main blade add the visibility, target and flash needed in heavy stained-water cover.
- GP 6 How:
- Texas-rig your preferred trailer and throw it directly into grass, brush, laydowns and other thick cover. Work it through places a traditional spinnerbait may hang up, while keeping the blades turning through the strike zone.
- GP 6 When:
- Choose this when stained-water bass are buried in heavy cover and you need a spinnerbait you can confidently put into the thick stuff without giving up flash, color or vibration.
