do you have any heavier spinners in the 1-1/2oz range?

Over the last decade or so I've seen fresh water bass techniques successfully moving in to salt water bass fishing. I'm thinking drop shot, jerk bait, crank baits, verticle flipping, and deffinately spinner baits. I heard Capt. Ron Baker talk about spinner baits about 10 years ago but I didn't take it too seriously. I haven't fished fresh water much and have zero experience with spinner baits there. Some guys swear by them but after trying several different spinnerbaits over the last few years in different salt water locations I have caught exactly 2 spotted bass. 1 in SD bay and the other in Baja. I will say that when a nice spottie hits a spinner bait it is just crushing. I conclude that I am a poor spinner bait fisherman and not that spinnerbaits are poor baits. I'll keep fishing with them.

Biggest I do is 1oz. The 1oz bait probably is closer to an actual 1 1/4oz after you add paint, blades, etc. I know some folks judge weights like this...

If I can get a hold of the guy that made my molds is like to get them to 2oz but all the CNC guys are AWOL lately it seems.

Check out the Reebs Bolt Thrower. We will be releasing it on Feb 1. This spinnerbait is legit and you will love it. Almost completely weedless. I've been doing some prefishing with it before we release it and got 2 of my biggest spotties on it.

Hey Matty, what weights are going to be available? I could use a 1 1/2 and 2 ounce blade. Not looking for a hand out, just wondering if youse guys are making them that big.

hey guys, I don't mean to thread jack in any way but I wanted to know how you guys fish with the spinner baits?

Do you just cast and then crank it back to you steadily? or do you let it sink a little and then reel?

Bob, the 1oz will be the first to come out then the 1.5 and don't worry, there will be plenty bolt throwers on the skiff.
