What size colorado blades do you guys use for coho?
-
I like using size 3 and 3.5. Especially when the water is low and clear like its been. When we start getting some rain, and depending on water clarity, I will go with a size 4.
-
3-4`s for genuine silver blades, and size 3 coppers in low and clear water
-
Same as above. #3 is my preferred size and starting point.
-
It has always been size 3 for me while using cheap brass blades. The light weight blades spin better in slow current. I've never seen the need to change and I've always made my own spinners.

Have never used colarado blade before how are they rigged. Thanks.

They are almost weightless so they are float fished.

Thread your mainline through a piece of hollow lead, add a bead, #10 swivel and 18" leader and finally your blade.

I think he is asking how the blade is rigged, is it a weighted spinner or a couple swivels and split ring?
I float hildebrandt spoons but spin cast Colorados as a weighted spinner

I've always just had the mainline with a small swivel with the float, then a leader w/ the spinner at the end. Most seem to have more then enough weight to it if not a couple small splits do the trick.

3s and 4s, sometimes fished naked if i'm using a medium/light setup that I can cast light lures with.
Other times, like others have mentioned.
