3/16 & 1/4 oz are your go to weights for pitching blades on Pool 4. Try to learn fishing on sand versus rock for bait recovery.
A freindly reminder that it is common for folks to overfish or fish too aggressively. Less can be more and let the fish tell you how they want it presented.
Yep! Heddon, Trumor, b fish n, are all good blades. If you ask 5 people what color you’ll get 5 different answers and they’re all right. Bright, dark, and gold for starters. I have years pink is on fire and the next is white/orange. Last week was purple and pearl and last night never got touched.
When I’m guiding people and teaching blades, the hardest concept is understanding muscle memory when your working them vertical – and or to understand where they are at in the water column. 90% of people work thembway too fast and don’t follow them down. NEVER have slack line.
I’m short on time. Use the search engine here on IDO for blades. Dean and I have put up an incredible amount of info over past years.
Btw- don’t over look fishing lipless baits the same as blades. Really no difference in how to, just different action and profile. This gal was on the deepest edge off of a clam bed. Zoom in and look at the bait. Lipless worked the exact same way I use blades
