Has anyone tried this new addition to the duo spybait lineup?
Been throwing the regular edition more this year and curious about the new alpha 62.

I've used mine a few times but haven't caught anything, but I haven't put in much time with it.jerkbait22 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 7:34 amHas anyone tried this new addition to the duo spybait lineup?

I'm now trying to learn the original and was rewarded the other day so looking to pick up a few more and the alpha 62 caught my interest. What are some of your favorite colors?BRONZEBACK32 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 4:21 pmI've used mine a few times but haven't caught anything, but I haven't put in much time with it.jerkbait22 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 7:34 amHas anyone tried this new addition to the duo spybait lineup?

BK Ayu, Goby, Shiner and Ghost Minnow are my favorites.
I tend to go more natural colors when using spybaits.

I seem to be having more luck with the reflective colors. I almost grabbed an extra in BK Ayu or Emerald Shiner, I will have to do that next time. The water I usually fish will typically have 3-5 feet of visibility on a given day so my assumption is the extra flash is helping them to locate it more easily.BRONZEBACK32 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 12:26 pmBK Ayu, Goby, Shiner and Ghost Minnow are my favorites.

I like the flash also.

I'm unsure as to whether or not he will write this up for the site or just share his thoughts on Instagram.

Re: Duo Spinbait Alpha 62
Finally got one of these in and threw it some yesterday. They weren't eating the spybait but I made a few observations.
Less body roll on the sink as compared to the 80's
Sinks slightly faster than the 80 G Fix
Runs slightly deeper than the 80 G Fix
Seems to have the same action on the retrieve as the 80s. I could see it being a factor when you need to reach a little deeper or want to speed up the retrieve some without losing depth.
