[cool] That's just another trick in the arsenal. Most seasoned fishermen hear about and try just about everything sooner or later. You never know what's going to work...even if you know a whole bunch of things that won't work.
I had been toying with the idea of adding some tail spinners to some of my hammerheads to. I have made a lot of shorter jigs, with stern mounted spinner blades, and they often work well...just like mutant Roadrunners. It is natural to assume that fish will nip at the spinner, and not get the hook, but the opposite is true of most predators. They grab their prey in the middle...where the business part is. I have had good hookup ratios on the other and smaller models.
Here's a "spinner butt" version of the hammerhead. Think you might like to try washing a few of these behind your boat?
