Product of The Week - Hotbite Donk Spinnerbait

Donk Spinnerbaits are new from Hot Bite Fishing. These downsized baits have nickel and gold plated blades and light gauge hooks to convert the bites. They run a Gamakatsu trailer hook straight out of the pack. A thin wire frame is perfect for the light tackle finesse fisherman. It cuts the weed and enhances the vibration back at the rod tip.
