Few, if any, new innovative fishing lures are ever made.  The majority of “new” lures are just resized or regurgitated lures already being produced.  They are made to catch anglers and not fish.  For BustinBass lures, it was going against the traditional way of thinking that sets them apart from the other spinnerbait manufactures.  In a revolutionary move, BustinBass has turned their back on the old, traditional two-dimensional spinnerbait to produce a new three-dimensional spinnerbait with “multi-wire spinnerbait technology”.  Without a doubt, it’s not your daddy’s spinnerbait.

The history of lures goes way back to 1852 when the first patent was granted to Julio T. Buel.  Apparently, Buel accidently dropped a tablespoon while fishing on a lake in Vermont and as it fluttered down, a lake trout ate it.  After that incident, Buel began manufacturing the Buel Trolling Spoons; later, Buel began producing in-line spinners.  In 1917, W.J. Jamison Company began producing the Shannon Twin Spin.  These lures were built with two overhead Indiana spinner blades on a wire shaft.  Later, in 1925, Jamison began producing a single overhead spinnerbait that resembles today’s modern day spinnerbait.  The skirts on these lures consisted of bucktail or feathers and tied on with thread by hand.  Back then, anglers were limited to white, black, or red and white for skirt colors.  Later, the demand for spinnerbaits increased with the development of rubber skirts and vinyl skirts seventy-five years later.  The beginning of bass tournaments brought another influx of anglers using spinnerbaits and every lure manufacture began producing them.

 
Today, the majority of manufactures producing lures keep to the traditional style when building their spinnerbaits.  Kevin Phelps, founder and president of BustinBass believes it is time for a change.  “At BustinBass, we have developed a patent pending new way of building a spinnerbait,” Phelps continued, “BustinBass uses ‘multi-wire spinnerbait technology’ to build every spinnerbait we produce.”  This technology allows BustinBass to create new, innovative spinnerbaits with different blade and arm combinations.  “Right now, we have eleven different models, but new models and lures are being researched for future manufacturing,” revealed Phelps.  All of BustinBass lures are built with an exclusive double or triple wire arm running from the blades to the head.  The one-of-a-kind three-dimensional spinnerbaits were built to mimic a school of baitfish or individual forage.  “BustinBass spinnerbaits have a unique flash and displaces large amounts of water, attracting fish from long distances and isolated cover,” explained Phelps.  Phelps did recommend that anglers use a 3/0 Eagle Claw trailer hook on all of the BustinBass spinnerbaits, especially if fish short strike the lure.

Every BustinBass spinnerbait is made in the U.S.A. and come with premium Worth spinnerbait blades, Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp Hooks, and other high-quality components.  Anglers can select from a number of different skirt colors including chartreuse, pearl white, white, black and blue, and black.  BustinBass spinnerbait skirts come standard with 52-stands.  The Worth spinnerbait blades come in nickel plated or gold either in willow leaf or Colorado shaped.  Models of available BustinBass include Triple Threat, Weed Demon, Ambush, Max TAC, Lunker, Hawg, Crank, Ripple, Rut Buster, Rocket, and Keeper.  Depending on the model, anglers can find the exact blade combination for every fishing situation.  Anglers checking out BustinBass (www.bustinbass.com or phone (877) 687-5873) website will find that they are using new 360-degree view videos of every model spinnerbait BustinBass offers.  So anglers get a three-dimensional view of a three-dimensional lure.

The innovative “multi-wire spinnerbait technology” brings a new wave of never seen before spinnerbaits and for many well-educated fish this spells trouble.  BustinBass spinnerbaits are definitely not your daddy’s spinnerbait; however, if your daddy asks for one, you really should share.
