Chalk Talk: Thrift on underspins in clear water
Friday, January 22, 2021 (
Editor s note: The following is the latest installment in a series of fishing tips presented by
The Bass University. Check back each Friday for a new tip.)
When bass of any kind are suspended in clear water, North Carolina superstar Bryan Thrift is quick to reach for an underspin with a swimbait on the back. He likes the ones from Damiki, in both 1/4- and 3/8-ounce weights. He puts a 3-inch Damiki Armor Shad on the former and fishes it in 10 to 20 feet of water, and uses a 5-inch Armor Shad on the latter and uses it in the 15- to 35-foot range. He likes the Damiki underspin over the competition because it has a recessed head that allows it to be rigged super-straight, and also because it has a blade that is thinner and not as cupped as other models, which means itll still spin when you fish it exceptionally slowly.
