Blind Squirrel Baits 1/2 Ounce Underspin Jig Head
How, where, and why it excels
Swimbait on Underspin (3.0–4.3")
When & where: Wind lanes, points, outside weed edges, shad pushes.
How: Slow‑roll just above cover; tick grass, then kill for a one‑count.
Why this rig: The blade adds flash and vibration, turning a simple swimmer into a high‑visibility target in stain and wind.
Pintail / Leech / Minnow (tight action)
When & where: Clear to lightly stained water, suspended fish on FFS, rip‑rap transitions.
How: Count‑down to depth and slow retrieve with micro shakes; brief stalls keep the blade fluttering in place.
Why this rig: Adds flash to a neutral profile—great for pressured smallmouth and spotted bass.
Grub / Split‑Tail Trailer
When & where: Stained flats, dock alleys, light current seams.
How: Medium retrieve with quarter‑turn pops to flare the tail; kill after hard cover contact.
Why this choice: Bulks the silhouette while the blade supplies flash for long‑line draws.
Tuning: Willow vs. Colorado
- Willow: Maximum flash, minimal drag—best for speed, clearer water, and baitfish chases.
- Colorado: More thump and lift—best for slow‑rolling in stain/cold or around grass.
- Blade color: White/silver for sun/clear; gold for stain/wind; chartreuse/orange for mud/low light; black for silhouette.
Trim & Mods (quick hits)
- Rig straight: Any kink kills the swim and can mute blade spin.
- Weight ↔ depth: Current variants show 1/2 oz; pick weight to maintain lane without riding up.
- Contact cues: If the blade quits after grass, pop the handle once to clear and re‑engage.
Dial it in
- Clear (6–10+ ft): Willow blade in silver/white; head colors that match shad/smelt.
- Stained (2–6 ft): Gold or colored blades (chartreuse/orange); black or green pumpkin heads.
- Muddy (<2 ft) / Low light: Colorado blade for thump; black blade or bright chartreuse for silhouette/visibility.
- Wind: Step up blade size/flash; keep retrieve steady with occasional kills.
- Cold front: Colorado, slower cadence; let the bait hover on the stall.

On‑the‑Water Notes
- Open‑water bait balls: Count‑down and slow‑roll through the edges; most bites on deflection or kill.
- Grass edges: Keep the blade ticking tops; quick pop to clear fouling and re‑spin.
- Rip‑rap/transitions: Quartering casts, steady retrieve; pause over depth breaks.
Q&A
Q: Why pick an underspin over a plain jig head?
A: The added flash and vibration draw fish from distance, boost visibility in stain/wind, and convert followers on the kill.
