About the Spybait
An ultra-finesse hard bait from Japan with tiny propellers on each end and minimal built-in action. Fished on a slow, steady retrieve with spinning gear, it produces a subtle flash and vibration that pressured, clear-water fish can't resist. This is the technique that wins tournaments on tough days when everyone else is getting skunked. Requires patience, light line (6–8 lb fluorocarbon), and faith.
