Earlier this summer I had James Beasley, developer of Wicked Lures on my boat to fish for smallmouth bass. He put on a show and landed fish after fish. Like most anglers I stuck to my own methods and was reluctant to switch. However, on three subsequent smallmouth trips, I made sure that a Wicked Lures spinner was in the water, and it out fished everything else. I was slow to make the transition to this new lure, but when it consistently caught smallmouth bass over plastics and even crank baits, it is now my go-to lure.
