SECRET WEAPON
Web site: www.secretweaponslures.com

Secret Weapons Lures is on the cutting edge of spinnerbait and buzzbait designs. The sidearm spinnerbait is credited for 3 tournament wins for me in 2007, winning over $2,000.00. I first learned of the sidearm spinnerbait after enlisting in the Special Ops Program and winning an ABA tournament on Kerr Lake in Jun 2007, a Secret Weapon Quick Strike 9/16 oz in Citrus Shad was my key bait in getting to deeper fish. I received my new Sidearm pack and started throwing it on my home lake, 3 wins and over $2,000 later I couldn’t keep it a secret anymore. The buzzrbait is another weapon in my arsenal, the black buzzrbait (which I throw religiously in water 53 degrees and above) is credited with numerous fish over 5 pounds, including the one on the Secret Weapons bragging board of 7 pounds. The entire Secret Weapons Lures offer the quick blade change; this in itself enables you to save time in changing blades for changing conditions as the day goes on. "Get them off, get them on, and get back to catching."
