Overview
Teaming up with Jimmy Houston to bring you his go-to lures from throughout his career, the Luck-E-Strike Redman Colorado Spinnerbait is a retro design from the 1970s that preserves all of the fish-catching ability of the original but with upgraded features. Built around a short arm safety pin wire design, the Redman Spinnerbait is built exceptionally durable making it perfect for fishing through heavy cover and withstanding the abuse of numerous fish catches.
The classic barrel swivel configuration attaches to an oversize Colorado blade to provide the perfect slowed rotation point for enhanced thumping vibration and incredible feel. Fitted with vintage flat rubber skirts that undulate and breathe underwater, each head is finished with chip-resistant powder paint to create a more life-like appearance. Featuring a closed-eye line tie so the knot will never slip down the wire, the Luck-E-Strike Redman Colorado Spinnerbait is a timeless classic that excels in cold dirty water conditions.

Comments: These are great little spinnerbaits. The safety pin arm holds up well to catching multiple fish and it doesn't stretch or bend. The barrel swivel works just like Jimmy Houston said it would. My only suggestion is to buy a pack of replacement skirts because the skirt on the bait will fall apart after catching a few fish. These old fashioned rolled rubber skirts are great, but they just don't hold up. It's the same as it was 30 years ago. TW doesn't sell these skirts, but other companies do. Seriously, get a pack of replacements in different colors so you can easily change skirts or replace them as needed. Do not buy regular style spinnerbait skirts that have the rubber band in the middle. They won't work on this bait well due to the shape of the head. You need the rolled rubber skirts.

Comments: The return of a legend! Great to have this unique design back in circulation. The closed loop line tie and rigid wire short arm, coupled with a deep cup single Colorado blade give this bait tremendous thump and vibration. I fully expected to change out the cheaper crane swivel with a ball bearing model, but was pleasantly surprised on how well the crane swivel functioned in this design. The old school flat rubber skirt shimmies nicely and the hook is solid and sharp. Paint quality was mixed on the handful of baits I ordered, as one was even chipped right out of the package. Due to the short arm the bait will tend to snag in heavy cover if you don't keep it moving. I look to continue to integrate this bait into my arsenal with hopefully great results. Overall Luck-E-Strike did a nice job of recreating this blast from the past
