By Jeffrey Wood


Fishing season is almost here and you are waiting in anticipation as the weeks fly by. Catching some fish in the lake are the go to activity of you and your friends. Donning your fishing gear, you grabbed the lures, bucket and most importantly, fishing rod. By the time you pick the lures, you got confused as to which blade you are taking. Some blades used in spinning lures are listed below.

Lures are the bait fishermen use to catch small fishes. It generally has a fishing line, one or two hooks, and an eye to tie to the fishing rod. Many have come up with different designs and shapes on the lure to attract the fishes.

This lure has a combination of skirt, blade, and wire and is mostly known as spinnerbait by everyone. When these three are combined, your success in catching many fishes will increase. The blades are formed from metals which create an appeal on the bait to bigger ones.

Willow blades are one of the most used blades. This is popular to many enthusiasts who have come up with the same conclusion and opinion to this blade. The streamline shape it has will make it adapt faster to the water currents. In effect, the speed it gains when pulled out by the fishing rod is faster than the other types.

It has varying sizes which creates an impact on its speed and its adaptability to currents. The best front runner blades tend to be smaller in size. They also keep still in motion when in slow to normal water currents. When in faster currents, they will spin in accordance to its motion.

The opposite holds true for Colorado blades. They spin and move even when water currents move slow or is calm. Vibrations are conducted more in this round shape blade than the other types. The best time to use it is when the current is still and the fishes below are steadily swimming about. If you like less excitement when fishing, this blade is the most suitable to use.

Indiana blades are set up in between the Willow and the Colorado. It is faster than the calm Colorado blades yet slower than the Willow blades in both spin and speed. This has made this type useful in any season and in any conditions. However, there is a decline in its popularity among enthusiasts. The few of them who still uses this have the blades get combined with the Willows for better proficiency.

Oklahoma blades are thick than the average blades. The crease it has in its center creates three flashes on the entire blade. It has tighter vibration than the other three, as well as a tighter spinning motion. If you spread it apart from the skirt, the blade will reflect it on its surface making an allusion to a fry or baby fish. The school of fish will assume it to be part of their group. This also creates an illusory behavior and swimming movements on the lure.

It is important to understand however that all blades vibrate, flash, and spin when in water. They only vary in the degrees of how the blades are made. This makes the fishes underwater to get excited enough to get close to the hook and be pulled out of their habitat. All blades work well in catching fish. You only have to find the right combination in your lure to create a more than adequate result in your fishing.
