Favorite 5 Bass Baits

Chief -

You forgot the Dowigac Minnow and the Bass-O-Reno!

I actually have a couple of Shannon Twin Spins I found at a garage sale. They're pretty cool. Gopher Tackle (Conrad Peterson, the guy who came up with the mushroom head) still makes a hinged twin spin. It has really small blades on a forked arm that hinged at the head of the bait, and almost an Arkie head. For fall bass, the things are out of this world. Can put a plastic or piece of pork on them, but nothing beats a 4-5" redtail chub. My God dod those things work in October. Every once in a while you see something similar come on the market for a little while, but none have quite the design of the Gopher spin.

Lindy used to make a little short arm live bait spinnerbait that was pretty awesome too. Gopher makes it now... Run one with a 4" redtail down a weedline in late summer or fall and you catch about every predator in the lake from walleyes to bass to pike. Even caught muskies on them...

Cheers,

RK,

The Dowigac Minnow and Bass O Reno are fine lures. Almost as fine as the River Runt and Lucky 13.

I, too, actually possess a couple of Shannon Twin Spins, They're beauties with bucktail skirts, and must be over 25 years old. I believe the current Gopher product replaces the old Lindy Spin Rig. I couldn't agree more. This little jewel, tipped with a fat redtail, can't be beat in cold water.

P.S. Don't even get me started about the Shakespeare Wooden Mouse.
