The tiny blade gives it a finesse look so it attracts a lot of strikes, but it also is a big bait, so it catches big ones.” “It has a smaller blade on it than a traditional spinnerbait, and the blade is in a different location. “It’s a little/big thing,” claims Jones, who caught a 10-pounder on the lure in November. The spinner and its soft plastic trailer have the right size and look to whet the appetite of a hungry bass or even a finicky lunker. “If you ever watch a shad swim through the water, you’ll see there is not a lot of that it kind of glides like it is not moving at all, and that is what this bait does.” The Fish Head combo imparts a more realistic action than crankbaits that produce a lot of wobble and vibration. The four-time BASS winner tries to match shad hues with his spinner combo, so he selects Fish Heads in Arkansas Shiner color and pearl white soft plastics. “It is a good imitator of the baitfish that bass are eating.” Three soft plastics Jones uses most frequently on a Fish Head Spin are the 5-inch Yum Houdini Shad, a Yum Boogee Tail spinnerbait trailer and a Yum Wooly Hawgtail.

“You can change the total profile of the lure just by changing the piece of plastic,” suggests Jones. Small soft plastic bodies fit well on Blakemore Road Runners and other horsehead jigs, but Alton Jones had never used a jighead spinner that could properly accommodate a bass-sized soft plastic until last summer when he found out about the Sworming Hornet Lures Original Fish Head Spin.Ī variety of soft plastics will fit well on the Fish Head Spin.

However, a Bassmaster touring pro has discovered a jighead spinner that is turning the heads of bass wherever he fishes it. A soft plastic body attached to a jighead spinner has been a longtime hit combo for panfish anglers, but the concept has never caught on among the bass pro ranks.
