Order some blades and go bigger! Start with a 1/2oz or more if you’re going for the most thump. Go up 2 sizes with an aftermarket Colorado and you should be able to feel the blade like a chatterbait!

you will see the biggest improvement by changing your line versus your spinnerbait. Run braid or flourocarbon vs mono. But if you looking for more thump in the bait, go with short arm vs long arm or a bigger blade. A good night spinnerbait with lot of thump is 1/2oz or 3/4 WarEagle. What line and bait are you using now?
I've ran bigger blades, I've tried war eagle, all work well but i had a no brand 3/4 ounce that really thumped but no idea brand and I lost it on,a tree. Ive cut arms shorter with no real differance. I run all 3 line types just can't get used to braids scritching sound through the guides.
Evilution Lures has one called the Vortex that makes some crazy commotion. It's not necessarily the hardest thump I've seen, but it's the most commotion I've seen. If you look at it you'll see right away what I mean I think. They have another with two arms that basically doubles that called the Cyclone. I came across this company as I'm having the owner make me something similar to the now-discontinued Evergreen D-Zone Fry...it helps that he's a really good dude.

3/4 oz Spinnerbait, swap lead blade to Hillenbrandt Size 6 Colorado. You'll have carpal tunnel in 2 hours of throwing it..
+1 on stan sloan short arm. 5/8 oz
Bumpkinjigs.com used to make a "thumping bumpkin" night time spinnerbait that really thumps.
I’ve tried every blade out there Sloan,hilderbrant,ultravibe,pickens,even the elusive “k” blades from years ago and so far none has out thumped a hoppys emerald.
I,d rather be tried by 12 than be carried by 6
you can flatten out the blade to give it more thump

What's your water clarity like? The reason I ask is that the lake I like to fish at night is pretty clear, and I like to throw a double willow or tandem willow/Colorado at night. The reason I like it is that it goes through the milfoil much better. Milfoil is the negative side of clear water, and it's pretty hard to see it in the dark!
Don't bother me, I'm screwing for virginity.
I killed a 12-pack just to watch it die.

I made some 3/4 ouncers last year with # 6 blades that thumped pretty good wether slow rolled or yoyoed & caught a bunch of big smallmouth on them. Thanks for reminding me to order parts to make more.

War Eagle used to make one they called the "Thumper". The blade was shaped like an arrowhead and that thing could move some water. I tried to find them and was going to post a link but they seem to be extinct.
