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 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.

1/2 oz Style H Hidden Heads. Much of the mass or weight of the head is hidden beneath the skirt. However, I am a big advocate of showing off that hidden element. The new style EZ Skirts are a great dressing with a sparse peek-a-boo appearance that lets the hidden weight show through beneath the skirt . As you may be able to see in some of the dressed photos, the billowy, flared nature of the EZ Skirt lets the attraction of the hidden weight show throw the skirt, adding an element of allure that's not possible except by showing off a hidden head with an EZ Skirt.

So we're not trying to hide the hidden weight mass here, but using it to offer intriguing contrast and an additional dimension of appearance beneath the EZ Skirt.

1/2 oz Spinnerbait ~ Style H ~ White Silver

Genuine Silver-Plated Blades. On the two above, these are genuine silver-plated blades which are rarely seen on spinnerbaits. Most all so-called silver blades are nickel-plated which looks very close but nickel has a darker flash than genuine silver. The brighter, whiter flash of silver may pay dividends in murky water or when trying to attract fish from further distances - such as in deep water. The brilliant shine and flash of genuine silver is something fish rarely see in a bass lure.

Blades below are 24K gold-plated. Gold flashes and shines more than nickel-plated blades, but not as much as genuine silver.

1/2 oz Spinnerbait ~ Style H ~ Bluegill

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. Has the same .032 super wire arm. 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.

3/4 oz Spinnerbait ~ Style H ~ Watermelon Candy

The watermelon candy skirt on the black chartreuse Style H hidden head makes a great sunfish or tilapia presentation.
