Copper bladed buzzbaits...

Is this a thing? If so who makes them?

I have some blades but haven't built anything on them yet.

I have a jackal firecracker buzz bait, the blade is a gold color I don’t think it’s bronze though.

The tackle shop I mostly frequent in the KC Metro area ( Rogers, in Liberty, MO) has copper blades in a variety of sizes.  I've used copper blades on spinner baits for years, as I recall I've always bought them there.  My favorite spinner bait for extra muddy water (less then 1 foot visibility) is a half ounce single Colorado blade spinner bait.   Chartreuse/ purple with a white/chartruese tips BPS cajun trailer and a Colorado blade.   Don't know the size of the blade, but it is larger than a quarter, by a little bit, but smaller than a fifty cent piece.   Once upon a time, perhaps more than a decade ago, I frequently fished an extremely murky reservoir and I ordered a couple of dozen spinnerbaits in this configuration from Rogers.   Still have 7 or 8 of them.

Anyway , back to the original question - yes they still make them.   No - I don't off the top of my head know who "they " is.  I'd imagine that you could go to Tackle Warehouse, or another site or Netcraft or any of the other terminal tackle  on line retailers and you could get some.

The original poster is somewhere in NorthWest Iowa.   Got no clue where to go there, but if I had to I'd go to whatever local shops are available and ask around.

 

Edit - Just realized the post was about copper bladed buzz baits.   Never seen one & don't know where to get a copper buzz bait blades, other than to ask around.

In the meantime, bulging a large copper Colorado blade isn't a bad alternative.

I've got a couple i throw. I get the blades from l.p.o. I would 've liked to also  make a double blade buzzbait with copper but they ( copper blades)  arent available  in counter clockwise veesion.

I like aluminum, I do like black and gold sometimes. A blade can be bent to rotate the other way. I tweek my blades so that one side is almost 90 degrees, and one is between 45 and 60 degrees, gets nice spitting gurgling thing going at varying speeds.

It can but plain aluminum can be bought to turn either way so why bother, however i did once try to bend a gold blade to turn ccw but the plating cracked and  flaked off.

Original Lunker Lure buzzbaits can still be purchased with copper blade configurations.
