The Secret is out – Secret Weapon Lures revolutionizes Spinnerbaits
 

Total Score: 9.0 + INNOVATION AWARD!

Introduction: There is no doubt that spinnerbaits are among the most versatile lures ever invented. These effective baits can be fished fast or slow, both in clear and murky water, and in a variety of depths. While many manufacturers over the last five decades have introduced new sizes, shapes, and patterns, little has been done to really change the original spinnerbait design. That is until now. Secret Weapon Lures offers anglers a patented new solution that allows anglers to really get creative when it comes to spinnerbait customization.
 

Impressions: There are a lot of products that I enjoy testing, but honestly up till now spinnerbaits have not been one of them. Sure there are different styles, finishes, and skirts, but for the most part most manufacturers mainly offer mainly cosmetic than functional differences. When I first learned more about SWL (Secret Weapon Lures) my interest was peaked. SWL spinners are not just another spinnerbait branded as “revolutionary” simply because of the implementation of a new head design or atypical wire alloy. The SWL offering is much more than that, it’s a complete solution, one that is designed to give anglers unprecedented freedom when it comes to not just choosing but actually tailoring the right pattern for each and every situation.

How many times have you looked through your assortment of spinnerbaits and wished that you could swap the blades from one lure with the skirt or head of another? This is a common occurrence for me when fishing different bodies of water.

Real World Tests: We decided to test the customization abilities of the Secret Weapon Spinnerbaits by fishing diverse bodies of water at very different times. By fishing both in reservoirs and in the Delta we were able to test both the effectiveness of the lures, as well as the bait’s ability to be adapted to be more effective in different environments.

Design: I’ll just come out and say it…SWL spinnerbaits are not your run of the mill spinners. First and foremost these lures feature an innovative blade and skirt swap system that allows anglers to mix and match components any way they see fit. These interchangeable blade attachments can be configured in seconds without the aid of any tools. The actual blades are uniquely designed to be free floating so they start spinning easier than frame mounted blades on traditional spinnerbaits, and we found that they also continue to rotate at lower speeds better than many conventional lures. Inline with the premium design, the blades feature 24K Gold and Nickel coating in an effort to achieve superior reflection and durability.  The heads are very realistic and feature a long-lasting powder coated finish and 3D eyes, and to top it all off the silicon skirts are weighted and patterned to match up seamlessly.
