Saw Tim Orton throw a Yum Dinger (Sorry Phil) Laughing

, with a screw lock in the bottom attached to a willow leaf blade. The technique was used in stained water texas rigged while fishing in shallow grass. The technique produced some good fish. Was wondering if anyone else has seen, heard or tried this technique. Found the screw lock willow and Colorado leafs on tacklewharehouse.

I haven't, but both NWDarkcloud (aka Bob) and I have tried putting a soft stickbait (e.g., a Senko) or worm on a Berkley Powerbait BladeDancer jighead. It makes the bait wiggle back and forth like a snake as it swims, while keeping the exposed hook up.

I kind of fell in love with the blade dancer set up under the right conditions it can be very effective . the hook faces up on the dancer jighead so it acts weedless as it scims over lillys in most cases
