COLORADO BLADE SIZES FREE FROM TORQUE

The extra wide design of our Colorado spinner blade assures easy spinning.Spinnerbaits attract predatory fish primarily by activating a special sense organ called the lateral line system through the spinning blade. Smaller sizes are used on inline spinning lures, jig spinners, ice jigs, snells and jig spinner forms. The Colorado spinner blade is by far the most popular style of spinner blade in use today.

Colorado Blade Sizes Series Of Vibrations

Due to the fact that the spinning blade cause the whole bait to rotate, line twist builds that creates line problems and tangles. Most in-line spinners have metal weights rigged behind the spinning blade and beads or brass hardware that separates the two for frictionless spinning. With a wide rounded profile and a deep cup, Colorado blade spinners like the.Spinnerbaits can also stimulate other senses of fish to mimic prey by creating flashes in the water (sight) and by creating sound waves in the water (hearing).The in-line spinner is named for the fact that a metal blade revolves around a central axis (a wire), which may be attached by a clevis (a c-shaped metal piece with holes that accommodates the wire) or by itself. Most fish have well-developed sense of touch and can feel the slightest change of water flow around it as a series of vibrations which may warn fish of approaching dangers or indicate the location of prey.Spinnerbait tips come in all shapes and sizes, but rarely focus on the.

The broader and more circular Colorado blade requires less speed and a slower retrieve to maintain spin. For example, the elongated willow leaf design requires the most speed to start and maintain the spin. Speed of retrieve is a major consideration because different blade designs revolve at different speeds.

Under low light conditions fluorescent colored blades stand out over regular colors or polished metal.The treble hook can be dressed or not, depending on personal preferences of bait profile and action. Painted blades can have more or less flash depending on color and patterns, but always less flash than silver finishes under a sunny sky and have more flash under low light conditions. Vibration is higher with broader blades, less with streamlined blades, but flash depends more on blade size, texture and color than on design.A hammered nickel (pock-marked) blade has the most flash in that the dimpling reflects light at more angles than a smooth polished blade.

In-lines come in all sizes: small trout and panfish sizes to musky and salmon sizes up to six inches in length. In-lines are usually considered swimming, horizontal baits and may be cast or trolled behind a slow moving boat. The weight material on the wire behind the spinning blade and also been made to look like a fish or like traditional minnow type baits such as the Rapala.In-line spinners have limitations such as not being good for heavy weeds or where very slow or vertical presentations are required. The speed of retrieve will always depend first on the blade size and design, but trailers provide lift for any spinner type bait, allowing a slightly lower retrieve speed. Soft plastic trailers have traditionally been curly tailed grubs and come in any color desired, as well as either single tail, double tails or quadratails.

If fished as a 'drop-bait,' the main blade helicopters above the weighted body and hook as the bait falls, thus simulating a dying minnow. Slow-rolling a spinnerbait is similar to the presentation of a skirted jig in that the lure remains in contact with the bottom throughout the retrieve. Often, safety-pin style spinnerbaits are retrieved within sight and just below the surface at a steady rate. Its most prominent feature is a wire frame that is bent roughly 90 degrees and embedded at its base in a bullet-, cone-, or arrowhead-shaped lead body with a single hook behind it.One advantage of safety-pin spinnerbaits is that they allow the angler to cover the entire water column. Louis, Missouri, the 'safety-pin' or overhead blade style spinnerbait is probably the most popular spinnerbait design among bass, northern pike, and redfish anglers.

There are no hard-and-fast rules for when to use a particular design, color or size blade or blade combination. The characteristics of blades that are stated above for in-line spinners also apply to safety-pin style spinnerbaits. Another blade may be attached 'in-line' on the overhead arm by means of a clevis to create a 'tandem' blade spinnerbait.

For bass, silicone skirts have recently dominated the field over hair or 'living' rubber skirts because of all the available molded-in patterns, metal flakes, and incandescent colors. Skirts are either tied on or attached by a latex or silicone collar to the lead body molded on the hook. For more on blade hydrodynamics, see below.Like in-line spinners, skirt material options are many and depend on the body/target/action profile desired. Narrow willowleaf blades are used for fast retrieves and through vegetation.

Colorado Blade Sizes Free From Torque

This prolongs the time it takes the fish to spit out the lure and gives the angler another second to react and set the hook.Generally, safety-pin spinnerbaits fall into two groups: short-arm and long-arm. Pork or soft plastic chunk baits contribute the most lift to the bait on the horizontal retrieve.Another advantage of some soft molded trailers—particularly split eel trailers—is that when a fish sucks the lure into its mouth, the trailer tails can catch on the gill rakes. For example, a straight, split-tail eel design has the least lift or drag and is more of a skirt-like extension whereas a large curly-tail grub produces the most rear action, more lift, and the largest profile within the pulsating skirt. As with in-line spinners, the trailer affects lure profile, action and lift depending on shape and size. Shaped pork rind and soft plastic trailers are the norm, with soft plastic being the most prevalent trailer material. Spinnerbaits with spinner blades attached on separate in-line frames are relatively free from torque-induced roll-over and, consequently, achieve higher hook-up ratios.Spinnerbait dressings or trailers are even more varied than for in-line spinners, and personal preference dominates choice.

Typically a Colorado blade is used to slow the fall and create the maximum fluttering flash as the lure descends. This type of spinnerbait falls better (doesn't nose-dive), presents the spinner blades closer to the skirted body and hook, and is more effective than long-arm models when the bait is dragged across the bottom like a jig or slow-rolled. They excel for 'yo-yo' retrieves.
