Catch Giants With This Spinnerbait Retrieve!

Congratulations on a respectable finish in your first BPT tournament!!

A great bait, how to retrieve it (and other options to try), and where and why to use it, how to think about it, along with options of how to possibly expand the success - all in one video. I hope people appreciate just how much you packed into that 20 minutes. Exceptionally good info, Matt. Deeply grateful.

Congratulations on a very respectable finish in your first BPT!

Great Finish in your first tournament and great video. Thanks for sharing Matt

Thanx Matt. That was a great day for the conditions you had. You convinced me that a single blade Colorado works best in cold muddy water with bluebird skies and no wind.

A lot of people miss it but single Colorado spinnerbaits are great bass killers in summer. They are a good all year bait. Smaller ones in silver in clear water bigger silver in colder clear water, and gold bladed versions in murky or muddy water. And black water silver blades are better all around. My favorite bait to throw is a spinnerbait a Texas rig and a top water( hula popper, tiny torpedo, (Zara spool for bigger bass), and scum frog. And for big bass and cold water a jig and uncle Josh #11 pork frog. I like smoke jig with black/blue pork in clear water or black or black brown with solid black in clear water also. I will also sometimes match the hatch on the color of the crawfish in the water I am fishing. But in early spring and fall I like to match the hatch on my spinnerbaits on size and color of the baitfish the bass are feeding on that particular day. A jerk bait is ok also.

Glad someone else hasn't forgot about the old spinnerbait! Grew up with these and still love them. Great to have more info and opinions on skirt colors and trailers. Congrats on getting that first event behind you! Good showing considering you were dealing with 166,000 acres that you were fishing for the first time. Safe travels back to God's Country!

Great job Matt! You deserve to be there and can’t wait to follow you all season!

8:15 Congrats on a good Performance 👍. Great video and that color spinnerbait is my go to on the Rivers I fish

I just got FFS. Excited to learn it and use it. Even more excited for future tech. It’s gonna get insane I think. Having said that I don’t think techniques for using lures and when to use them won’t go away really. I also think the vast majority of anglers don’t care about tourneys. I don’t at all. Never watch em and probably never will. But learning more about how to retrieve etc is still important.

Congrats Matt. Nice finish on your maiden BPT. Keep doing your thing👍

Fun to watch, thanks for the fishing lesson. I'm going to try it tomorrow up north in cold water.

Thanks Matt You happy with your first outing.

Great job today. I know it wasn’t what you were hoping for. I will keep following your progress. You’re doing great!

Just wanted to say that color spinnerbait with a hammered copper Colorado blade single by it self works in tanic color water here and I would think it will work in Lake Okeechobee too , purple , blue , and black skirt

Thank you Matt!

I love using spinnerbaits and use single and dual blade Colorado/ Indiana blades all the time. Strike King makes that Midnight Special that’s a single Colorado blade and has a rattle behind the head. That thing is money in muddy water or low light. I’ve caught hundreds of bass and pike on southern Champlain with them.

Big single spins and that retrieve has accounted for most of my biggest Bass and Pike over the years. Especially on weed lines!

Nice. Love a spinnerbait. Also like this format of video, well done!

Glad you made a check bro. Thanks for the video. I love them things. Caught 8 out of 12 this afternoon on the ole spinner bug
