My deep dish Colorado blades came in the mail. Has the lighter colored pot belly look like real fish have. The blade is unimpeded to spin hard and fast. Lots of sound and vibration. Overall the jig is still compact in length. 2 1/2” est.
Gonna dangle this right behind the ship. I cast out just a tad, and set rod in angled backwards holder. It will run and make its way to the surface, and I see it. Then I know a little line gets it couple inches under the surface. Little more line maybe a foot deep, and leave it. These two lines are entering the water at an acute angle compared to the four mostly horizontal long lines. This helps when the ship turns and the lines touch each other, as less likely to foul. Braid.
The amount of travel the blade has is great. It is free and loose to spin in whatever orbit it wants. Blade out the back makes more sense than blade in front, to me at least, but blade in back means no squirrely tailed plastic baits allowable. Blade up front or underneath for those baits. So having a mixture to experiment with is nice. I will be testing this blade to see if the fish like it or despise it.
I am going to fish in the same location she and I just did. Only by myself this time so bringing cooler and ice. I will also be testing the new setup for my rods. 30lb braid for main line, 80lb braid 10 feet or so for a “shock leader”, and 15lb flouro leader 30”. I also started liking these clips for exchanging jigs quickly and cleanly no new knots needed. Not the horsehoe looking deal, rather a corkscrew look from some factory in China. Solid no bend connection unlike the others that will flex and open. Tricky to see the thing, so you need glasses or young eyes to work it. But basically you pass it through the hook eye and slide it a little down into a bend that captures the eye and allows for loop knot movements. Cheap stuff from Ebay I think.
Maybe they will bite this one……
