Blade Bait Season is rapidly approaching. Are you ready? Blades are

effective for walleyes, yellow perch, largemouth bass, smallmouth

bass, hybrid stripers, crappies, white bass, bluegill, channel catfish

and muskies. Some of the most popular brand-name blades include

Heddon Sonar, Reef Runner Cicada, Silver Buddy and Vib-E. Most of

the shops on the Fishing Report carry blades, and probably have

their best selection available right now. As the water gets colder, Attach with duo-lock snap
success with blade baits increases. The trick with blades is to rig

them properly and not to over work them. I employ a 6 to 7 foot

moderately fast tip spinning rod spooled with 8 or 10 pound test

Gamma Edge fluorocarbon. I cut the line 20 inches up from the

end and tie a small power swivel inline to create a leader to the

blade. To the end of the leader, tie a quality duo-lock snap. To the

snap, attach the blade bait. Open the bail and free-spool the blade

to the bottom, engage the reel and take up couple inches of line so Blade working up and down
the blade is hanging just above the bottom. With the tip of the

rod pointed at the water surface, gently sweep the rod tip up-

ward until you feel the blade begin to vibrate. Stop upward

sweep and lower the blade back down. When you feel the

bite, sweep the rod tip up firmly and keep it high as you take

up slack.

Success!
