    I don't know much about them. I'm an ice guy. We have tried them on Lk. Michigan a few times with very little success on Salmon.

    I fish with them often. What's the question ?

    I use different sizes, colors and blade configurations depending on what I am fishing for, water color, weather conditions etc.

    Basically I was asking what style of blades you prefer: Colorado or willow leaf. Willow leaf blades seem to be the fad right now, however I've always done great on Colorado style, which has gotten harder to find around here.

    I use both, but generally use the willow leaf ones more as I mainly bass fish. I use smaller Colorado Blades when river fishing for smallies and walleyes.

    Not much of a bass fisherman. I usually go after stripers and big cats, When I do I will use the willow leaf blades and a size to match the bait. I prefer gold leaf color, just a preference. I slow retrieve over brush, stumps etc. I buzz them over beds, lilly pads.

    When you get a hit you will know it. Bass seem to attack this type of bait.

    My favorite is the 3/8 or 1/2 oz titanium Terminator with gold colored leaf blades and a perch colored skirt. It is deadly on northern,smallmouth, and even walleye up in Voyageurs National Park. The water is stained brown and the gold color seems to reflect the best.
