Large blades give more lift to a lure than small blades, so large blade lures will run shallower than small blade lures.

SIZE Plays a part in how deep the lure will run. Hammered blades reflect light from most of their surface. A smooth finish blade reflects light from only one point of the blade. SPINNER BLADES FINISH Blade finish works with the shape of the blade to reflect light.

SPINNER BLADES This is by far the most popular style of spinner blade in use.

When fishing a blade in slower water I’ll add a little more tension and maybe include a slow retrieval to ensure the blade is spinning or getting some action.The Jann's Netcraft 2022 fishing tackle catalog is jammed packed with the most complete selection of lure making, rod building and fly tying material you will find anywhere. To clarify, if I’m fishing faster water, I won’t impart any action to the float and allow the current to spin the blade. Anyway, this tactic on a river is a common setup for Salmon, Steelhead or Trout as the moving water imparts most of the action on the blade. In fact, this short floating approach with a blade was the setup I had when I caught my first ever Steelhead! I’ll never forget it. The blade should not be hitting the bottom but always drifting above (called “short floating”). I personally like to fish blades under a float in moving water or tide (usually a river). These blades can also act like an intruder in a fishes holding spot and I’ve seen them bite out of (what I believe was) strictly aggression. So this lure is likely to be more effective when there are more fry/smolts present in the water system.

These Colorado blades have a flutter action to them and mimic a fry or smolt (minnow). Colorado Blades (“blades”) can be fished in a number of ways: drifted under a float, trolled, cast and retrieved, and likely many other ways that I’ve yet to try.
