Title: A Little Added Bling for your Soft Stick Bait
Post by: Scott McGehee on February 19, 2015, 06:31:50 PM: Here's some video I shot trying out the Keith Poche Power Spinner. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Post by: Curt on February 19, 2015, 06:46:07 PM: Do you know what size blade that is @Scott McGehee ??

Also, when you fished this rig, did you let the bait fall slowly as you normally would with a soft stick bait, or did you impart a little action to it in order to get the blade to move?

It looks like a #3. I was fishing with a 3/16 oz wt, so the blade turned very well any time the bait was move. Keith fishes it weightless and gets the blade to turn freely. it's got a very good swivel, so it doesn't take much to make it turn.

Post by: Joey Watts on February 20, 2015, 05:16:13 PM: I do them for 4.25 per 5 pack. I use a # 2 Colorado and a # 3 willow. I also have chart. blades in a 2.5 I could do them in. Cannot believe you have never seen me advertise them.

Post by: n2ratfishin on February 20, 2015, 05:29:34 PM: One of my favorite winter smallmouth baits is a Whirleybee, I've never tried this on a stick bait but it reminds me of the concept.

Thanks @Jake Grey (http://www.bassboatboards.com/index.php?action=profile;u=227) Does the lack of a ball bearing swivel hamper or impede the rotation of the blade on that rig??

Remember, you're fishing a worm not a spinnerbait. I don't think the ball bearing swivel is crucial to this application.

Exactly, which is why I am wondering if a ball bearing swivel would be better, to give the blade more freedom to spin on a slow fall.

Oh what the heck, it's only another 50 cents per bait, let's go for it!
