Style H Hidden Head Spinnerbaits

.032 Light Wire Diameter. Style H have an .032 diameter wire arm, which is about as light as wires reasonably run on bass spinnerbaits. True, there are a few other spinnerbaits out there with wires of .030 or even .028 but they're rare, get the dickens twisted out of them and snap relatively quickly from metal vibration fatigue.

So .032 is about as light a wire as I feel one can reasonably use while still having some nominal level of fish-ability, to land fish played carefully with a forgiving rod, to somewhat hold up against twistage, and resist quick metal vibration fatigue.

Reason some anglers may want such a light .032 wire (despite the inherent drawbacks above) is their belief in and confidence that thinner diameter wire vibrates more and may at times attract more strikes than thicker wires that vibrate less. So the .032 wire (other things being equal) vibrates more than the most popular middle-of-the-road .035 or the heavy duty .040 wire arms most commonly used on bass spinnerbaits.

Super Wire Arm. What helps out a lot especially with such light .032 diameter wire is that the Style H's have Super Wire. So it is up to 30% stronger, gets bent less and vibrates up to 50% more than ordinary wire in lab tests. In actual fishing, I feel that 30% extra lab test strength equates to many times more bend-resistance on the water. So really, Super Wire is the way to go with light wire arms. You get a more durable, more fish-able bait, and it vibrates more, which is the reason some anglers opt for a light wire in the first place.

3/4 oz Style H Hidden Heads. The heavier 3/4 oz weight is especially suited for duty as a slow deep runner or as a fast subsurface burner type spinnerbait. Used "normally" on a moderate retrieve, it will tend to seek its working level a little deeper than standard type 1/2 or 3/8 oz spinnerbaits. So you can think of it somewhat like a deep-diving crankbait model (compared to medium and shallow-diving cranks), except its a spinnerbait.]

The price is for one (1) spinnerbait as shown below.

3/4 oz Spinnerbait ~ Style H ~ Smokey Shad

Front blade is nickel-plated. back blade is gold-plated.

3/4 oz Spinnerbait ~ Style H ~ Pearl Blue White

Both blades are painted white pearl on both sides. Front side of blades have hologram sparkle clear coat.

3/4 oz Spinnerbait ~ Style H ~ Black Chartreuse

Front blade is translucent smoky black nickel-plated. Back blade is gold-plated.

Crankbait-Colored Spinnerbaits. Black chartreuse, blue chartreuse and fire tiger rank among the most productive crankbait colors. Bass love to hit them, even though they don't closely mimic anything in nature. Manufacturers say these "unnatural" color crankbaits indeed outsell more realistic and natural-looking crankbait patterns.

As popular as these colors may be on crankbaits, they're seldom seen on spinnerbaits. Anglers in North America are not accustomed to such spinnerbait colors, however anglers across Europe confidently favor them. One reason may be that lakes and rivers in Europe tend toward darker-colored water where darker, brighter colors are more visible and attractive to bass. Also, pike favor such color patterns, and Europe has a long history of pike fishing. So European anglers may simply be more accustomed to and confident in using such "pike colors" for bass too.

As with crankbaits, these spinnerbait color patterns are both darker and brighter at the same time. Darker since they are more "solid" colors. Brighter too. So they stand out, are much more of a target, in dark water. The same applies in a big crowd of baitfish. These gaudy crankbait (and spinnerbait) colors attract attention and often out-produce natural baitfish color lures whenever baitfish abound. It is the exact opposite of the "match the hatch" theory. It's the "stick out like a sore thumb" theory.

Another great time for such "in your face" spinnerbaits are pre-spawn through post-spawn. From the start of pre-spawn when bass begin to consider nesting, until the end of post-spawn when they relinquish parental fry-defending duties, adult bass are inclined to patrol and chase away or remove any critters scavenging on their nursery territories. These hard-to-ignore spinnerbait colors are prime candidates to be whacked whenever vigilant parent bass are guarding their nest sites. This not only includes the smaller male bass who stays at home, but the bigger females who will lurk and patrol the outer perimeter or outside "fence line" of their parental turf until early summer when the young become big enough to fend for themselves.
