SPOT CHOKER THE ULTIMATE UNDERSPIN

By James K. Pressley jameskpressley@gmail.com

A few weeks ago, I told you guys about catching hybrids and stripers on Sinclair with Spot Choker Underspins, Pulse jigs, and Cast Prodigy baits. Well, Mr. Spot Choker himself, Rob Williams, reached out to me and we started talking about getting together to fish. We went out about a week or so ago and hit Lake Sinclair in search of hyrbids, stripers, and whites. What we found was a catfish, big hybrid, and new friends.

Let’s start with this cool little announcement. You can now buy Spot Choker Underspins over at Sugar Creek Marina! How cool is that! I love supporting small businesses and Sugar Creek supports our community more than most will ever know. William always steps up for the Striper Club, all kinds of HS fishing teams, and numerous other functions, groups, and charities around the lake. Plus, let’s be honest… he’s got the best fried chicken around. Mr. Rob from Spot Choker is the same way. He’s as fine a man as I have ever had on my boat and he, very fortunately for all of us, KNOWS how to make an underspin! Just an FYI… I am not paid by Spot Choker. I honestly believe this is the best underspin on the market and the sheer number of spots, hybrids, and stripers my clients and I have caught on this bait is amazing.

Spot Choker just released a new Pro Model bait that has the best thing I have ever seen on an Underspin, and I fish a LOT of them. They added a screw lock to the head. You now thread the bait on and LOCK it in place. So, what does that really mean? First and foremost, it increases the life of your soft plastics exponentially. I’m not even kidding here. Want to catch 30 spots on a Keitech? Use this head. Want to catch 40 hybrids, stripers, and whites schooling on one Zoom Fluke? Yeah, switch to this head. Next, it helps you line up the bait correctly. Believe it or not, the screw lock does not bulge the head at all, so you still have a slim and compact shape. The next big thing about Spot Choker is they run true. Even if you burn them, they will not roll over. Go to my Facebook page (Southern Born Gentleman) and you can see some video testing and some catches.

Underspins are a truly versatile bait. From mid-winter deep cove and ditches to bottom dragging to the shad spawn and matching the hatch… you can do
