I have found this fall the bass are liking a smaller spinnerbait, but I couldn't get it to run fast enough without rolling. So I found some of the rubber core sinkers and took the rubber out of it and crimped it on the wire above the head. The recess on the end fits the head quite well so it doesn't spin around too much so it doesn't have to be re-crimped a lot. (you may want to crimp the leading end a little more if your fishing in grass, as it will pick it up) I also have some old crimp on bullet weights that work pertty good too.(they come loose a little more). With this extra weight, It can be burnt as fast as you want, and if you kill it, the extra weight will flutter the blades good, also, it throws a mile. havn't had any adverse effects with it, except the bass tearin it up.

Yeah I know they have the hidden weight baits out there, but why spend all that extra coin when a pack of weights will do.

I've tried it, and my prefer a different method! I use lead wire!  ;) Just take the wire and wrap it around the shank of the hook on the spinnrtbait, and crimp it down if it's loose! Works really good, and you can also put on a trailer this way too!  :-*

Yeah I do the samething only I use soder and wrap it around the wire. I think it works better than adding the weight to the hook. For one the only thing I want on the hook is a bass and the second is it swims down when it sinks, the same idea as having a rattle traps that have added weight in the nose, they swim down. The weight on the wire make the blades still spin when you pause it and allow it to sink.  Just my thoughts.
