I was born and raised in Chicago, but after working 12 years in the financial Industry regulating the futures and options markets at the CME/CBOT I decided to pursue my passion fishing professional tournaments and left my full time corporate job. At that point, I moved to Junction City, WI with my wife Sara and two boys Hank and Duke. I've been fishing professionally since 2011 and full-time since 2015. I've qualified for seven MLF Championships and won over a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.

I’m desperately trying not to,buy more baits. I just boxed up hundreds of dollars worth of plastics, jigs, hooks, etc. Strike king, Z man, netbait, all the names. I ALWAYS wind up going back to the same 8-10 baits and the rest just hang on my monstrous pegboard. So it’s time to downsize.

@@Bankfishindude it's so satisfying to do well with an old lure that hasn't been made in years. If it's a hard bait, even better to know how collectable one can be. Either way, you do have an advantage having what others don't and can't obtain. Especially if it was a proven design.

Hey Matt!! Great stuff! Up here in NY i throw those almost exclusively on the Upper Allegheny for smallies and walleye! We call em the "money rig" cause they flat out work. I use a 1/8 or 1/4 oz ball head, with a 3 or 4 inch grub or keitech swimbait, then i attach a clip on spinner arm. $12 gets me 8 or 9 of those setups. Been throwing em for about 10 years. Cheap and effective!

Great video. I'm going to order some. A inline spinner that I really like is a PANTHER MARTIN WEEDRUNNER. I started using it a couple of years ago,and it catches everything. I like to put a 4 inch zoom super fluke a 3.75 strike king rage swimmer and a 4 inch curly tail grub on my. All my weed runners are 3/8oz. They do come in 5/8oz but I really like the 3/8oz. I think it's the best all around size. Keep the videos coming, I really enjoy watching them.

Also what I like that you forgot to mention is the swinging head, that is so awesome because does two things Matt, 1. helps against the wire getting bent during fighting a fish and... 2. takes away leverage from a bass to shake free after getting hooked cause the bait swings freely from hook point to line tie, i only use buzzbaits and spinnerbaits that have swinging heads

I recently got a 1 oz Roostertail to try for bass. I've done well with small ones for bass a trout. But I didn't try the big one yet. Now my situation changed. I'm moving to the VA Beach area tomorrow. No more trying for bass at Lake Norman. I've been missing the saltwater for too long and VA allows us to do other things I like, puff puff 😉. But I'm still going to watch your videos because you explain stuff and teach me things I can use for salty fish. Oh and I bet that spinner would catch trout and redfish in saltwater, and maybe I'll try it.

An inline spinner has always been a confidence lure for me. It always works when other baits don't seem to. I've been wanting to pick up a wire bender at my local Jann's Netcraft so I can make my own spinners. This Picasso design is a good one to use for reference. One thing I'd like to see is that it would have a quick-change clevis for blade changes. Thanks for sharing!

Your observation about the sleeve over the wire whether intentional by Picasso or not does prevent bending. Along with fishing my other passion is powerlifting. For decades now all the heavy duty power racks used bar and sleeve safeties. It’s a larger version of the same thing. When the barbell is dropped the loose fitting sleeves absorb some of the shock and bounce off the solid steel pins and keeps them from bending under the sudden load.
