Ruben Flores Jighead with Bait Keeper – Underspin

The Ruben Flores Underspin Jighead with Bait Keeper combines a traditional crappie jighead with the added attraction of a spinning underspin blade. Designed for pairing with soft-plastic minnows, grubs, and small swimbaits, this versatile jighead creates flash and subtle vibration to help trigger strikes from crappie, bass, and other freshwater gamefish.

The integrated bait keeper helps secure soft-plastic lures during casting and retrieving, while the underspin blade adds movement and flash beneath the bait. This combination makes the Ruben Flores Underspin Jighead particularly effective when fish are feeding on small baitfish or need additional visual attraction to commit to a strike.

Best Fishing Applications

Crappie Fishing – Brush Piles & Suspended Fish

The Ruben Flores Underspin Jighead is an excellent option for targeting crappie around brush piles, submerged timber, docks, and suspended schools.

Pair it with a small minnow-style soft plastic and retrieve slowly through the strike zone. The spinning blade adds flash beneath the bait, helping attract crappie that are actively feeding on minnows and shad.

Bass Fishing – Baitfish & Open Water

For bass feeding on small shad and other baitfish, the underspin provides an effective finesse presentation.

Fish it along grass edges, around submerged structure, or through open water where bass are chasing baitfish. A steady retrieve allows the soft plastic and underspin blade to work together to imitate fleeing forage.

Cold-Water & Tough-Bite Conditions

When fish become less aggressive, a slow-rolled underspin can be an effective alternative to faster-moving lures.

Use a controlled retrieve that keeps the blade turning while maintaining the bait at the desired depth.

How to Fish the Ruben Flores Underspin Jighead

Slow Swimming Retrieve: Rig a small soft-plastic minnow and retrieve steadily through suspended fish or along structure.

Slow Rolling: Allow the jighead to sink to the desired depth, then retrieve slowly enough to keep the blade turning.

Count-Down Retrieve: After casting, count the jighead down before beginning your retrieve to target fish at different depths.

Premier Tackle Tip: Match your soft-plastic bait size to the jighead and make sure the blade spins freely. A straight, properly rigged soft plastic helps maintain a natural swimming presentation.
