Expert Pick #1
GP 1 Summary:
The Shallow Wood-Cover Pick
GP 1 Details:
Swing Blade • 3/8 oz • Tandem Indiana • Warmouth • Chartreuse Kicker • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
GP 1 Why:
The tandem Indiana blades help keep this spinnerbait high in the shallow water common to rivers and creeks. Warmouth mimics several river sunfish species, while the Swing Blade design adds extra versatility around cover.
GP 1 How:
Fish it over shallow flats, along current seams and tight to wood. Rig a trailer Texas-style on the free-swinging hook when you need to work through thick laydowns, branches and other snag-prone river cover.
GP 1 When:
Choose this in shallow rivers and creeks where sunfish are common forage and wood cover is a major part of the pattern, especially when you need a spinnerbait that can stay high and fish cleanly through cover.

Expert Pick #2
GP 2 Summary:
The Shallow Sunfish Pick
GP 2 Details:
Super Spin Elite • 3/8 oz • Tandem Willow • Giltastic • Nickel Kicker • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
GP 2 Why:
Giltastic gives this spinnerbait a strong bluegill and sunfish look, which fits rivers and creeks where those forage species are often abundant. The lighter 3/8 oz build also helps keep the bait high in the water column.
GP 2 How:
Fish it around shallow flats, current breaks, wood, grass and other cover where sunfish are active. Use a steady retrieve and let the lighter weight help the bait stay up over shallow cover.
GP 2 When:
Choose this when bass are feeding on bluegill or other sunfish in shallow rivers and creeks, especially when you need a spinnerbait that can stay high without having to retrieve it excessively fast.

Expert Pick #3
GP 3 Summary:
The Shiner-School Pick
GP 3 Details:
Scattershad FH-3 • 3/8 oz • Triple Colorado • Golden Shiner • Gold • Silver • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
GP 3 Why:
Golden Shiner gives this spinnerbait a natural shiner and minnow look, while the three-blade setup adds the impression of a small school of baitfish. The Colorado blades also help keep the bait riding high.
GP 3 How:
Fish it through shallow runs, current seams, eddies and around wood or other cover where minnows and shiners collect. Use a steady retrieve and let the three blades add flash and vibration without pulling the bait too deep.
GP 3 When:
Choose this when bass are feeding on shiners, minnows or other small baitfish in shallow rivers and creeks, especially when you want extra flash and a schooling-baitfish look while keeping the spinnerbait high in the water column.

Expert Pick #4
GP 4 Summary:
The Compact Single-Blade Pick
GP 4 Details:
Taylor Tots • 1/4 oz • Single Colorado • Wicked Sunfish • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
GP 4 Why:
The compact 1/4 oz profile and single Colorado blade give you less flash while still producing strong vibration. Wicked Sunfish provides a natural bluegill and sunfish look that fits river and creek forage well.
GP 4 How:
Burn it through shallow water when you want a reaction bite, or slow roll it closer to the bottom when fish are holding deeper. The single Colorado blade keeps producing vibration even at slower speeds.
GP 4 When:
Choose this when bass are reacting to vibration but do not seem to want a lot of flash, or when you need one small spinnerbait that can be fished either fast and shallow or slower near the bottom.

Expert Pick #5
GP 5 Summary:
The Shallow Bluegill Pick
GP 5 Details:
Taylor Tots • 1/4 oz • Double Colorado • Big Bluegill • Metallic Red Kicker • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
GP 5 Why:
The lightweight 1/4 oz build and double Colorado blades help keep this spinnerbait high in shallow water. Big Bluegill gives it a strong sunfish profile, while the red kicker adds a clear target for bass to key on.
GP 5 How:
Fish it high around shallow wood, grass, current breaks and other river cover. Use a steady retrieve and let the double Colorado blades provide lift and vibration while the gold main blade adds flash.
GP 5 When:
Choose this in shallow rivers and creeks where bluegill and sunfish are important forage, especially when you want a lightweight spinnerbait with strong vibration, added flash and a visible target.

Expert Pick #6
GP 6 Summary:
The Confidence Black Pick
GP 6 Details:
Taylor Tots • 1/4 oz • Double Willow • Phantom Black • Gold Kicker • Gold Main • Gamakatsu Hook
GP 6 Why:
Black is a proven river and creek color, and Phantom Black combines that strong silhouette with two gold willow blades for added flash. It is a simple confidence combination that consistently gets bites.
GP 6 How:
Fish it around shallow wood, current seams, grass, laydowns and other high-percentage river cover. Keep it moving high in the water column and let the black profile and gold flash do the work.
GP 6 When:
Choose this when you want a dependable confidence spinnerbait for rivers and creeks, especially when a dark profile with gold flash has been producing or you simply need a bait you trust to get bit.
