Kinkee Baits has announced a partnership with Elite Series angler Brandon Lester, who had the new Kinkee spinnerbait in his arsenal at the Bassmaster Classic last week.
“I’d say every guy here has thrown a spinnerbait some this week.” Lester said prior to the Classic. “It’s been a staple in the bass fishing world for a long time and really shines this time of year, especially during the pre-spawn. The awesome part about it is you can cover a ton of water, which makes it great for a tournament angler.”
What sets the Kinkee spinnerbaits apart is the process by which they're made. The technology used allows for an extremely thin wire on the blade arm. It's also built with a Mustad Titan X hook.
“The key deal with Kinkee Baits is the ultra-thin wire, it’s almost half the diameter of the thinnest wire on the market at .018," said Kinkee creator and president Rick Kovacs. "The only reason that’s possible is because of the unique wrapping process. We’ve developed an exclusive process to wrap four different pieces of wire and then transition down to the .018 wire that hold the blade. That’s the part of the bait that most impact vibration and flash."
Kovacs said the thin diameter wire maximizes the thump from the blades.
"This means it can call fish in from a greater distance and that I can throw willow blades in murky water that before would require a Colorado or Indiana blade. Giving fish a look they haven’t seen before in those conditions is a big deal," he said.
