    Default Blade baits have made a comeback in my book this year!


    I hadn't used a Beetle spin (swing jig with blade) for a few years and found fish smacking the **** out if them! Same for Chatterbaits. So, in Aug. I made some b.spins using wire, swivel and small Colorado blade and they worked just as well.

    But one thing caught my eye: I sell glitter to lure makers and noticed how the hologram glitter sparkled at different angles. So, I put a drop of nail polish on the concave side of the blade, sprinkled gold holo glitter and was amazed how it sparkled at different angles and in many colors.

    A buddy who sells wire baits with blades, liked the idea, so I gave him a small bag. He showed me pictures and they looked great!

    Rather than have only flash from a smooth metal surface, spots of glitter will allow color flashes in many directions even in low light and in murky water.

    The blade add a pulsating quiver to the thin tail.

    If you need any of the harnesses for the Beatles spin the wire we have a ton of them that we have bought you just have to add the blade in some swivels.
