Great video Hank. One thing that helped me start catching bass in the winter on Spy Baits was getting over the fear of loosing them. I used to worry about hanging up on the bottom. Once I found confidence tracing the bottom I really caught more fish with this bait. The 72 Alpha is a game changer as well. Tight lines bro! 👊

You can but they are designed to get the best action on 6lb test. So I use a lighter rod to help fight those bigger fish and not lose or break off. Small hooks also.
