Description

Here's a special run color of our 3X Tourney Winning River Rat Spinnerbait in Twisted Slaw. And about the Twisted Slaw...well if you know, you know. The River Rat Spinnerbait is a BassLab Collaboration with Gary Scheetz from 9K Elite Lures and was designed to be the ultimate river killer spinnerbait! Built on a light wire frame for maximum vibration, this spinnerbait sports a compact profile with a hidden weight system which gives it more balance while coming through cover. It's just the right size to generate bites and snake through cover with some unique features. First, the hammered turtleback blades deliver a nice thump and a sneaky flash that absolutely gets bit! Another great feature is the Mustad Ultra point hook and haywire twist on the line tie that makes this spinnerbait much more durable than other spinnerbaits--so it will last fish after fish without bending out. It also gives the spinnerbait a more positive hookset and your line will never slide up the spinnerbait arm which can cost you fish. Finally, the hand tied skirts by 9K Elite in Bass Lab designed colors stay on fish after fish with just a hint of Flashabou Mirage to help bass zero in on your bait! Limited quantities.
