Yeah, I switch out the blade on the rear to a larger willow leaf. I have caught some nice fish on those.

my opinion is the head shape. They are not only a lot smaller, but they are also pretty blunt and not as "pointed" as most other spinnerbait heads. I've wanted to try one for a while, 653 to be specific, but just never thought to buy one whenever i've had the chance.

What do you guys think about adding a 4" White grub to the back of this spinnerbait? To heavy? Thanks

Most of the time I use a trailer on my spinner bait. A 4 in grub should work good. Push it all the way up the hook shank and let it lay straight inline with the hook, should be a bass getter.

I always put a grub on all spinnerbaits and buzzbaits, or the tail end of a worm that has been used before,
The fatter or longer the grub usually results in the spinnerbait moving slower. Anytime you feel the need to throw a slow moving spinnerbait, choose one with a heavier lead head, like a 3/4 ounce for example, and the bigger the blade usually means more thump and slower retrieve, a good combo for really murky waters where the idea is to call them in with the vibration of the bait.. Try throwing a 1/4 ounce spinnerbait and see how quickly it moves in the water, then try a 1 ounce with a big blade or combo and you'll note that it moves considerably slower, each has a time and place.... |

As for trailers, I vary. Sometimes I use them, sometimes I don't. Depends on how I feel the bite is going or my luck so far in the day. If I am fishing w/ a trailer and not getting much, obviously I change, and if I'm not using one with the same results, I'll put one on. Sometimes I match the color, sometimes I make it vastly different. One of my favorite combinations is a chartreuse skirt with a purple trailer. I don't know why but the fish seem to love it. |

I found they worked better with an odd coloured trailer like a white with purple trailer
