    Default Bait that won the Bassmaster Classic


    A Roadrunner copy:


    “I won this tournament on a homemade lure,” Ashley said. “My daddy made this bait two weeks ago – he made about 24 of them – and he told me I’d win the Bassmaster Classic on them.”

    Ashley fished a white Zoom Super Fluke Junior on the homemade “spinhead” – a leadhead jig with a spinnerblade twirling from a swivel molded into the jig. The style of lure is popular on reservoirs that have a big population of spotted bass, which 56,000-acre Hartwell does.

    “It’s nothing special; we’ve made them for years,” Ashley said. “I was going through, getting my tackle ready about a month ago, and I was super busy. I called (my dad) and told him I’ve got to have some of those “Blade Runners.” He gave me a Ziploc bag with 24 of them in it.”

    The spinhead was a basic “pony head” jig, with a 4/0 Mustad hook and a No. 3 ½ nickel-colored willow-leaf blade attached to the head with a swivel.
