Title: I wanted some bigger blade baits.... So I made some.
Post by: 21XDC on December 17, 2016, 03:18:43 PM
Many Silver Buddy users bend the metal to make the action better, I never have... I made some to test out the day after Christmas.

These are 4in long. Standard size is in the middle to compare sizes. 3/4oz and 1oz lead on the big ones.

So in the bottom 3 photos are they 1. Kissing,  2 Cuddling.  3. Making More baits. 

Sorry the Oxycodone made me say that.

The twin - blade style, are they stacked the same direction, or are they opposite? If opposite, you might get some small steel shot in-between them...are those size 6 blades?

They are opposite creating a skinny pocket between... I tried BB's inside but they wont rattle as they fall to the bottom and are held snug in the "V"... I thought about using a penny.  ;D  These are size 8-10 depending on where you buy them from...

I'm fishing with them tomorrow.... I hope to have some pics to share.

I caught a ton on my baits today...... Biggest were just over 5lbs... Many 3-4.7lbs. They swim awesome, vibrate awesome, cast awesome etc.. So this is for the non believers... You know who you are..
