What type of blade to use for spinners?
« on: March 19, 2012, 10:50:43 PM »
So I wanna make some spinners for fishing the stocked trout in our local lakes, however i'm having a hard time deciding which type of blade to buy... should I go with colorodo's, or Indiana's or French? Just need some suggestions before I make my final decision. Thanks in advance.

I concur with the French blade but IMHO #4 is way too large. When I targeted stocked trout, a #1 brass Mepps Aglia worked well, even on wild trout.  I don't think trout are that discriminate when it comes to spinner blade types, sizes and finishes, however a #1 brass always produced well.

So I got #1 silver plated French blades. Painted some, left others... Wish me luck!
