i'll be trying your idea this summer.
do you also use willow blades at night?
i like a little vibration so i can tell what's going on but with braided line, i may be able to feel a good willow?
glad to know someone is thinking outside the box.
It is like I stated earlier. I dance with what I bring. I don’t have but maybe two black spinnerbaits with colorado blades and frankly I only use them in muddy winter conditions. I would say 90% of my spinner bait fish at night come off willow blades. Either white or chart/white.

Sometimes I think fishermen can get goofy. I fish green pumpkin at night as much as black with jigs,worms, creature baits. I will say all three of those baits black is a staple. I just don’t have many black spinnerbaits with Colorado blades.


A good test is take a plain hair jig to Dale at night, take a thumping football jig and see what difference is. No doubt, sometimes the thumper will win but simple hair jig will hang tough. You will feel a fish with any kind of line you use, that’s the only action I’m feeling for.
