Ideal tracing range of the Spinbait 80 is 3-15ft with effectiveness down to 20ft. The Spinbait 80 is a perfected spinbait with several built-in actions.

As the spinbait enters the bass’ stimulus window it is triggered by several actions inducing predatory behavior.

It has been coined the “Spybait on steroids”. Spinbait 80- G-Fix is the exact size of the Spinbait 80 original and it does carry several of the same attributes harbored in Spinbait 80, however, the G-Fix version was designed to open the Spinbait’s range. “G-Fix” stands for specially-tuned traits that are subtle yet necessary. It advances spybaiting even further. The “signature” action(s) of the G-Fix allows the lure to enter its target with less detection. The G-Fix also allows the angler to pursue significantly deeper fish without losing the ability to trace water columns at controlled rates. Depths exceeding 30ft are easily reached with the Spinbait 80 G-Fix without losing the ability to stay in the zone longer. The pitch of the lure is forward and slightly down and as the lure travels the running position is level.

Spinbait-90 (baitcasting):

Line diameters: .205 mm (6-pound) to .330mm (12-pound).

Casting Rod: Medium light to medium action rod with mod-fast taper to extra fast-taper tip.
Rod Length: 7’ to 7’4”, Rod line wt. range 7-12 lbs. Lure weight: 1/8th to 1/2 oz.

Reel: Bait Casting reel with gear ratios from: 5:5:1 –to- 6:3:1 (slower retrieve allows for better prop movement).

The Spinbait 90 extends the spybaiting to baitcasting game. Like its cousins the 90 has excellent trajectory and built-in multi-directional actions and it still maintains a compact profile. The bait’s trademark rolling action is a tad more apparent in this version. The Spinbait 90 out-cast other 90mm propbaits effortlessly and hit its target more often. The 90 profile was designed to match more mature bait fish and can be fished down for 4 to 25ft depending on line diameter.
