Making music on the water
A growing number of bass fishermen in and around the Atchafalaya Basin are tuning into a spinnerbait that hums through the water much the same way a piano makes its melodic music.
That’s because the Instigator Lures spinnerbait is made with piano wire instead of stainless steel wire by an accomplished veteran bass club angler who knows from experience the bass want a compact-bladed artificial lure with a distinctive vibration in southcentral Louisiana. Piano wire has more spring to it, explains Doyle Martin of Thibodaux.
Martin, a 45-year-old electrician for Rain CII Carbon in Norco, designs and builds artificial lures when he isn’t working his regular job, and there are hundreds of bass fishermen in the region who are grateful to have his products in their hands. With that in mind, Martin plans to market on the Internet his spinnerbait that can be custom made for bassers who go to a website that should be online this month or in February.Click here to read more on Instigator Lures spinnerbait
