Notice I put the word efficient with my analysis. Efficiency in fishing is crucial to success. I have a freind who can make Bass eat when no one else can. But to fish off his boat when he is in charge is quite frustrating. He is very inefficient, never takes advantage of conditions such as wind and we catch absolutely zip. I have to brusquely take control of his craft ("Gimme that" as I yank the Captain hat off his scruffy head >:( ) and go about the task of putting us on some fish. He usually curls up in the bow for a wee nap until he hears my infamous blurting of "oh, theres a bite........ but I missed".........Then he yawns, stretches and catches the fish I just missed. Happens every time almost like clockwork. It is such an inside joke he puts special emphasis now on the stretches and yawns and we burst out laughing because we both know what is about to happen.............. (like the 2 hunting dogs "Findem" and "Catchem")

What I had pictured was drifting a shoreline, using the wind to an advantage, and casting and retrieving. Much deeper than 20 ft and I'm likely using other presentations which spend the majority of the time in the strike zone.......efficient. While I'm drifting along I am working the spin jig down the break from say 5ft down to 20 or maybe even 25 if my outfit will relay info with a high degree of confidence (will I feel a bite in water deeper than 25 given my drift rate, line diameter etc. etc.).

Of course If you are confident the fish are at the bottom of the incline and resting at the base of the break you could drift along with your lure established in water considerably deeper than 20 ft all while being very "efficient" since no retrieve would be employed.

So it is a perceptive question Kerry. Yes you can fish such a lure deeper than 20, much deeper, but much depends on conditions and your set-up. I probably would not fish the lure much beyond 25 (and traditionally it actually excels in water much shallow than that). Fishing it down to 20/25 like I had envisioned is almost rather novel for this bait IMO. But given the larger blades and wider gap enables a fellow to fish a little bigger jig head. If your aim is to fish shallow with light jigs then get the "junior" model. I picked up one pac of each size for evaluation. I would probably never consider using anything else after having checked these out. Simply put they are primo.

Pause and think before replacing the blade size Kerry. I rather like the little bigger blade. Each blade type offers its own advantage/disadvantage. I like the hybrid between the colorado and the willow but I think they would all work.

I can't wait to fish. I feel like the guy on the chain in Mad Max. Daggone fish better watch out when I get cut loose  :D
