detachable jigspinner

Years ago I came across a so-called "Jigspinner" in a mailorder catalog , I found it to be a good thing to soup up ordinary plastic grubs and shads , that are very popular over here for perch-pike(in German "Zander" , very similar to American walleye , only gets bigger):wink: .

Those jigspinners in the catalog did not seem to be very reliable to me with their thin wire and simple snap-lock , so I had the idea to employ a coil spring lock for them , that I already knew from heavy wire leaders for jerkbaits .

Anyway , this rig worked out well for me , though it is meant to be slowly tossed along the bottom for those perch-pikes , it also proved to be attractive for pike fished a bit shallower :).

For shallow fishing a round blade , providing more lift , should be used , for bottom-located target fish a slim , smaller blade is a better option , off course the weights of the leadheads may also be varied for this purpose , pictured here are 6" to 7" grubs with 3/4 to 1 1/4 ounces leadheads in the number one color for the local stained river waters . For short-striking fish a stinger-treble is attached in a widely used fashion over here .

This rig is not as versatile as a pure spinnerbait , but this was not my goal of design , those are not too popular over here , anyway .

I like the "Coil" to lock it on with. I use a little 1/8 oz with a 3 inch Curl Tail Grub for Bass ... For shallow water. It is my go to lure whn the fishing gets tough mostly in the Spring and Winter.
