Super User Munkin Posted November 1, 2021 Super User Posted November 1, 2021 Writers sometimes suffer from writers block and I am currently suffering from spinnerbait makers block. Figured I would ask the masses here what they think. Not sure of what blades to go with on this bait? I have a couple options in my head but wonder what others would go with so I figured I would ask.

Super User MN Fisher Posted November 1, 2021 Super User Posted November 1, 2021 I'd go with a Colorado at the end of the wire, followed by a Willow. Looks like something that needs thump and flash. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted November 1, 2021 Super User Posted November 1, 2021 I’d go with small Colorado as the inside and a willow, maybe hammered silver blades. 1 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted November 1, 2021 Super User Posted November 1, 2021 For a little thump, flash and color, I'm thinking small Red Colorado on the inside and a Chartreuse Indiana on the end. #norules A-Jay Quote
Super User jimmyjoe Posted November 1, 2021 Super User Posted November 1, 2021 That looks like a deep runner. Use nickel blades; they'll be dark at depth. That will make the fish focus on the skirt. jj Quote
Super User Munkin Posted November 1, 2021 Author Super User Posted November 1, 2021 Thinking about chartreuse blades with silver glitter right now. Tried to paint some last night but the glitter paint was way too thick to spray even after reducing it. Allen Quote
Super User LrgmouthShad Posted November 2, 2021 Super User Posted November 2, 2021 I would like gold or chartreuse blades paired up with that skirt color. The arm looks longer so I am partial to two blades for that. Very pretty lure, nicely done sir Quote
Super User Columbia Craw Posted November 2, 2021 Super User Posted November 2, 2021 I like it and the body style. I would throw that with double willow gold front and silver back. I would like it for smallmouth on a low light day with choppy surface. Quote
bigspirit Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 Just sent it to me so I can see it in person and I’ll get back to you I like the idea of a small gold Colorado with a gold willow on the end Quote

Also I'd consider having both blades in chrome. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 2, 2021 Global Moderator Posted November 2, 2021 Looks like it needs a pair of gold blades, either Colorado or willowleaf. Quote

Maybe a nickel or black Colorado up front and a chrome/chartreuse willow on back. I find that willow blades that are only painted on one side don’t hold their attention as much and you don’t get them hitting the blades, which happens a lot to me when using all chartreuse blades.

HaydenS Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 I bet that would be a good in some dirty water with a white painted blade and a chartreuse painted blade. Could you make some painted colorado blades to put on there? 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted November 2, 2021 Super User Posted November 2, 2021 Thats something I would use in the spring or muddy water . A 5 gold willow with a 2 chrome Colorado is what I like then . Quote
Super User Catt Posted November 2, 2021 Super User Posted November 2, 2021 Silver willowleaf inside, gold willowleaf outside. Throw that around Bream spawn 1 Quote

It was no surprise to me when Edwin Evers used one to help win the classic on my home lake (Grand Lake). Edwin's bait (war eagle) and my Red River spinnerbaits run a #4 gold willow on the end to help it run a little deeper. 1 Quote
