Back around 86 I sent Mr. Parker a personal letter, (I was kid, around 12-13, he was living in Denver NC and I just outside Charlotte). Mr. Parker took the time to respond back, (to a random fan he didn’t know). Several months later, I met Mr. Parker in Charlotte at a restaurant, (he was there with his family). The man was gracious enough to not only speak to a young fan, but even remembered the letter I had sent him! True legend of the sport.

This right here is what bass fishing is missing. Pure knowledge and wisdom. This clip is a great editorial on spinnerbaits. Learned more than 20 plus years. I remember launching these as far as I could in Canada on rice lake and we would ware them out in the evenings. Todays fishing is sad and I hope bass steps up And regulates the ffs it’s ruining lakes, making fishing unwatchable and I feel it’s giving anglers an unfair advantage. It’s like deer hunting with a drone. Things re getting out of hand. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us. God bless you and your family. I’ve been a life long fan, hanks a class act, top hand and we’re blessed to have him still involved and paving the way.

WOW Hank Parker I haven't seen you in years Buddy Ro...so glad to see you doing well. I got a short story about my World War II US Army Dad we went fishing in his 1987 monark fish and ski with 90 horse Johnson and he wanted to head in and I said troll lures behind the boat. So I was running the trolling motor and him and a friend of ours were trolling also. I told my dad here take my pole and troll my lure and in minutes he caught the largest crappie he caught that year with your Hank Parker classic chartreuse and white with the gold blades spinner bait. He passed in 1999 and would have been 101 this year. Thanks my brother for giving me that memory. Love to you and your family. God bless ✝️☝️🕊😇❤️🔥🙏👏🫶👍🇺🇲

Back in the early 1990's (if I remember correctly), I caught my PB, actually several on this bait in Virginia. We were in the Navy for 22 years, when we got back to freshwater fishing, years later, I could no longer find these. I just ordered several today. Thanks for making these again, especially in the USA. May God richly bless you and your family!

Has always been my go to Spinnerbait. When they discontinued them, I found them on clearance as Sports Authority. I bought about 25 of them. I still have a few that are still in the package. Glad to see them back. I remember the advice about Spinnerbait color from the old days. “Color doesn’t matter. It can be chartreuse and white or if you want, you can use white and chartreuse!”

I have fished that spinnerbait ever since I started to get into bass fishing which has been around 35 plus years ago, it has been my go-to bait regardless of where I fish, regardless of the time of year and regardless of water conditions. I can honestly say I have never been on the water and not thrown that bait, some days that is all I use. I live in the Northwest and fish the Columbia River the majority of the time. I did well in bass tournaments, winning some and placing well in others and it was always due to that exact spinnerbait. When asked what I used back in the day to catch nice Smallies on the Columbia and I said the white or white and chartreuse spinnerbait many competitors always questioned whether I was being truthful or not, and I was. I have fished with a lot of different bass fisherman who are what I call good sticks and have made believers out of them by the end of the day. It is my confidence bait, and it has produced many big fish awards for me. I call in my little HP spinner bug. I can honestly say I have caught thousands of small mouth and large mouth in all the years I have been bass fishing, and I can also honestly say that at least 65 to 70 percent of those came on the HP Spinner bait. Thank you, Mr. Parker, for, what I consider, one of the best bass fishing lures ever produced.

You never cease to amaze Mr. Parker. Truly a treasure to our sport & the world, you've been as passionate & informative since I started watching you nearly 40 years ago. I bought the original HP spinnerbait for the wire twist & Indiana blade, nothing comes close to that thump. Slow rolling, yo yo, waking it like a buzzbait, etc. it's versatility is unmatched. Thank you for giving us a bait to pursue our fishing with confidence. Peace & Blessings

Great insight Hank, I to just absolutely love throwing the ol’spinnerbait, I’ve tried replacing it with a swim jig because of its skipping ability and chatterbait but I just keep coming back to the ol’spinnerbait. I believe there’s just something about the flash and vibration of the blades that just triggers baits..I’ve been making my own for years now but you just sold me, I’m going to pick up a couple and give that thin wire a try.

Hey old timer. I have found that using heat shrink over the wire twist, if the line gets wrapped behind it , it will not get pinched in the wire twist and break. From one old timer to another.

That Hank Parker's Outdoor show was a classic show I will never forget.

@@braddavis4472 no. Actually I throw it out to the deepest part of the pond and I count it down until it stops. If I get a count down number greater than 10 I give my rod a quick jerk to get my bait off the bottom then I only crank my reel fast enough that I can feel the blades pulsing and occasionally during the retrieve I stop and let it flutter down again and start all over. Good luck 🤞. Oh my secret ponds are spread out around the sea world area. Best one is right behind a fire station. Good luck 🤞

You haven't begun to understand. I can teach you. I am the best. All spinnerbaits do the same thing. A wire twist will get it to tilt more than anything. You need to only lock the R bend. The only thing right on this spinnerbait that seems right is the size. If you don't believe me, I challenge you, Hank. Your spinnerbsit v. mine. Simple as that. Easiest money I will make.
