Secret Weapon Lure QuickStrike Spinnerbait Video

Check out the underwater video of my favorite spinnerbaits!

Great underwater footage of a truly innovative spinnerbait

Spinnerbaits account for over 12 million black bass caught in the U.S. every year. Many anglers carry a wide assortment of specialized spinnerbaits to be ready for any situation. Secret Weapon’s patented, no-tool, quick-change spinner blade attachments and innovative designs make for one heck of a bass catching bait! 

Spinnerbait & Buzzbait Design Saves Time, Space, Weight, Money

Secret Weapon revolutionized spinnerbait fishing to save you space, time, weight, and money.

Secret Weapon precision hand-crafted spinnerbaits combine in-line spinning lures’ enticing sound and flash with the snag-resistant qualities of the safety-pin frame. Because each Secret Weapon Spinnerbait moves and sounds different in the water, its unique acoustic signature attracts more bass, musky, northern pike, redfish, snook, and other predatory fresh- and saltwater species than other spinnerbaits.

Secret Weapon spinnerbaits hook and land more fish. Look closely and the first thing you notice — no swivel and split rings! Free-floating, in-line blades improve tracking and reduce rollover on rapid retrieves. Blade attachments swing free to clear the hook point on strikes. The frame and blades of first-generation spinnerbaits can actually interfere with hook-ups.

Secret Weapon’s beautiful, powder-coated, chip-resistant minnow-profile heads slip through vegetation and brush. Mustad Ultra Point, Extra-long hooks, heavy-gauge stainless steel wire frames, and top-quality silicone skirts hold up well fish after fish, season after season.

Secret Weapon spinnerbaits surpass every other spinnerbait in the world, offering unparalleled value. Universal “Quick-Clip” blade attachments provide versatility and flexibility in lure presentation never before achieved in spinnerbait fishing. Blades are interchangeable with other lures in the Secret Weapon Innobait™ Tackle System. A few spinnerbait bodies and a handful of blades replace many heavy tackleboxes of conventional spinnerbaits.

Part of the reason of this post it to share some cool video and to test how posting videos work on my blog.

I think this is pretty cool….

A friend of mine showed me this recently.  I think its pretty cool and could add some pizazz to my blog and make it a little more fun.  This presentation is a collaboration from a ESPN Weekend Series tournament from this past summer on Pokegama.

Sorry for the repost, but I just had to change the music!!!

Cool Video – Bison vs. Elk

Not really bass fishing related, but came across this cool video on BassFan.com DockTalk.  This was shot by Ken Cook out side of his house, its really kind of unbelievable

Ken said: “The bull elk had a lot of frustration built up from the rut, but he picked a fight with the wrong guy in this huge bison. I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

Well, there was your distraction from work for today, get back to work

Anatomy of the Bassin’ Blog

This post is to help all your readers optimize your time spent here and get the most out of the Bassin’ Blog.  So I am going to break down the different functions and options you have.  Basically the Blog is broken in to 2 columns of information.  On the right is are the listing of most recent posts and summaries.  On the left (sidebar) there are a myriad of blocks of info and tools to help you get the info you are looking for.

Back to Main Page – link will get you back home no matter what area you are in.

Subscribe to Blog – place where you can enter email and you will get all new posts delivered to your inbox as soon as they are published.  This is handy so that you do not have to remember to go out and look to see if new content is here, plus you will have the info before anyone else.  You can also subscribe to individual topics and post if there is one you are particularly interested in, you will get all comments and updates.

Category Archives – I assign every post to at least one category, so that you can browse though these categories and find info quick, most are self explanatory.  ‘Tournament Info’ is where I log all my practice and tournament days on the water

Recent Comments – This displays the 10 most recent comments by other readers and myself, often I will add updated on comments to certain topics there, rather then creating a new post, plus I usually answer all questions left in a comment

Recent Entries – Browse most recent posts by title and date

Quicksearch – great way to look up a topic or word and see all the posts that contain that info.  Lakes like Amistad, Guntersville, Minnetonka or Patoka….    Or maybe baits like Tru-Tungsten, Secret Weapon or Swim Jigs….   You need to keep in mind that there are over 190 posts and growing every day, most of the time you can only see the current month on the front page, there is a lot of info if you are willing to dig a little.

Google Ads – these are text ads based upon keyword matching, everytime you click on them I make a few cents, so feel free and help offset the costs of doing my blog and other websites. I’ve even been thinking about hiring an external company like Linear to help drive my blog even further to success and the more traffic I get, the more it will inspire me to keep pushing forward with my blog and goals.

Monthly Archives – Browse by previous months, go back to January 2006 and see the humble beginnings of this Blog

BlogRoll Links – Other sites with good info that I like, check them out at your leisure

Syndicate This Blog – These are links for RSS (Real Simple Syndication) basiclly you can sign up using these links and content will be pushed to your Feed Reader, there are many and MyYahoo and MyMSN have them built in, if you are interested I can help you if you get stuck.  Just another way to be on the cutting edge of getting information.

 – if you see this symbol, it is a link to help you get RSS feeds setup through FeedBurner, click here and its falling down easy to get recent entries of the blog to show up on your MyYahoo or MyMSN home pages :0

Hope you find this helpful and just ask if you have questions.

Bass Fishing in Cinema

This morning I came across a small blurb about a potential new movie about Bass Fishing.

“Lionsgate has hooked spec script “The Bass Master,” a broad comedy penned by Tab Murphy and Devin Maurer that Todd Garner will produce through his shingle Broken Road Prods”

I am kind of excited, will the new Ike movie or this one premier first?  I have already come across a few critics that are mocking the potential of a bass movie, and the necessity of two in the works at the same time, but how much different will it really be from “Days of Thunder” or “Talladega Nights – The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” ?  I’ll watch, not sure my wife will go with me, but oh well

What are your thoughts, leave it, love it, don’t care?

Like listening to Bass Fishing shows on the Web?

When I am eating lunch at work or playing on the internet at home, I like to tune into a couple different places where you can stream or download radio shows on fishing and the outdoors.

Here are a few of my favorites:
Bass Zone Live – Currently archived shows with Ike, Mike McClelland & Jon Bondy
BassFan.com – Shows with many BASS & FLW pros, Carver, MN FLW Pro Jim Moynagh recently did a good show
Catch’n.com Radio – More local and regional stuff for MN area, but some good national stuff as well.
Black Water Bassin’ – There is no single page, will have to cruise through tournament news to find the two episodes so far.
Podcast.net – They have a whole section of PodCasts for fishing here, I have listened to a few, the Daimon lures shows are pretty solid.

You can also found the radio shows I have done to download here & here….

Does anyone else have any other good site for this?

Year in Review – Glance at 2007

Hey all,

Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary from my very first post.  365 days fly by in a hurry.  I thought I would just recap the journey that was year 1 for me in blogging.  When I started last January, there was not much out there for Bass Fishing Blogs, there are a few more now, but still somewhat of a void.

To date I have 17 subscribers via email, thank you to you whover you are.  I made 182 posts containing 95,583 words, which almost exactly a post every other day, not bad for year one.  There were also 156 comments from readers and myself.  I actually cannot believe I had that much to say or share

The most popular and viewed post was: More Chatterbait Options….
Most Subscribed to Post: BSX BioSonix – Gimmick or Real Deal?
Most Discussed (most comments): More Chatterbait Options….
Most Frequent Commentator: Billy Harris, follow closely by Bass Pundit

Over the last 3 months I have avereged about 33 visitors per day and over 60 pageviews daily, when I first started, I was not sure anyone would read it…..

Towards the end of the year, I have added much more in the way of sounds and pictures to enhance the multimedia experience.  Look for more of that in 2007.

I want to thank all of you that left comments, that helps me to know you are reading and care, it helps drive me to keep posting and digging for relevan conent.

What do all of you want to see, leave a comment if there are topics or ideas you have or want to see.

More Bass Fishing Radio with Me

Hey all,

Added a podcast feature, just click on the play button.

Another online fishing radio show that I did has recently been released.  It is a feature on Catch’n.com Radio
Check it out on Catch’n.com.

If you liked the other show at all, this one is a little longer and spends more time on specific lures and techniques, I think it is a better show with more info.  Here is the link again: http://catch-n.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7496

or if you prefer to download the show directly – http://www.catch-n.com/audio/richlindgren.mp3 – careful it is a long show

Hope you enjoy & feedback is welcome….
