Now this is extremely important when fishing in these situations where you have fast rapid flowing water, quick outside bends and shallow boulder waters. The reason behind this is it will sink through the fast water quickly and reach the strike zone of the fish before being swept away by the current. The Willow blade is perfect for fishing in fast flowing water. So this lure sinks quicker and doesn’t produces as much attraction, so why would we want to use it? There is a situation where this blade is needed and becomes more effective than the Colorado. Something that would be similar to a quick tail flicking motion of a crustacean. It actually gives off a totally different vibration to the Colorado blade, more of a quicker and sharper pulse. This means it will sink quicker and produce less vibration and thump in the water. In comparison to the Colorado blade the Willow blade catches less water and cuts through with less drag. As I mentioned before it is the shape of a willow leaf and is longer and more elongated. This blade is more often than not put to the side but it does have its place. Willow Blade: The Willow blade is sometimes forgotten but has a vital role to play in certain situations Now the next blade is the long elongated leaf looking one that’s known as a Willow Blade. Shallow water (as it will hold up in the water column for longer).This is important when fishing for native fish as the longer the lure is in the strike zone the more fish you will catch. It helps slow down the sink rate of the lure which in turn keeps the spinnerbait in front of the fish for longer. They produce a solid thump and vibration through the water which is what attracts the fish. “Rule of thumb if you’re not sure, start with a Colorado blade” BIG cod on a spinnerbait that was set up to flutter down a rock face slowly Probably the reason why there are more of them around. It’s the pick of the two blades and can be used in majority of situations. They come in a range of sizes and usually there are two on the spinnerbait arm (a small one and a big one). This is the spoon like shaped blade and if you own a spinnerbait chances are it will have a Colorado blade. They both have different purposes and if used in the right situation you will catch more fish.įirst of all we will talk about the more common shaped blade that you will find on probably 75% of spinnerbaits: the Colorado blade.Ĭolorado Blade The Colorado blade is the most commonly used spinnerbait blade – perfect for most situations Have you ever found yourself asking these questions? At some stage in your fishing time you would have and it’s important to know the difference between the two. Why are there two different shaped blades on spinnerbaits?
