Indiana blades

[crappie josh]

ok i know that the colorado blade was made for water displacement and the willow blade was made for ? and what is the indiana blade used for and what do they look like?

Willow is flash and good in grass. Indiana is a lot like the Colorado, but the Colorado gives off more vibration. The Indiana may run a little deeper, but I am not real positive about that part. I do think they call the Ind a mid depth running bait.

The Indiana is a tweener between the colorado and willow. It spins well at all speeds,doesn't give off as much vibration as a colorado. It's my favorite all around blade,but I use them all.

Best way to think about it--from the side, the C has less flash, because it spins wider. But the wider spin gives off more thump. The willow blade spins closer to the shaft and gives off more flash, but less thump. They also need to be run faster to spin them. The Indiana is in between--more flash than a C, more thump than a W, less flash than a W, less thump than a C.

Colorado is my number one pick. When I was building salmon and steelhead tackle is I have made hundreds of them in rainbow finish number one blade with the steelhead and salmon fishermen in the Northwest. We definitely use the Colorado blade for many other uses in pan fishing I prefer it over the Indiana I believe the Colorado spends better. We use Weddle leaves for spinner baits besides the Colorado and we use some call back more.

The indiana looks like a stretched colorado, more teardropped. They used to get a lot more play than I see lately. Make a spinnerbait with a big Indiana and a small Colorado and it covered the bases real well. You would have to try them yourself to see if it works better for your style of fishing. Just my 2 cents.
