Does anyone use single blades anymore or does it have to be double? Consistently and successfully?

Some will disagree, but for me, in clearer water, I tend to use the single bladed bucktails more often, where as more stained water, I'll go to doubles. As a rule of thumb, it's good to have a supply of both. Plus, I find single bladed bucktails much easier to burn fishing a long day. kdawg

Some singles are actually louder. Worked for over a hundred years, and still do!

A single #8 french blade has a ton of vibration. As well as #8 fluted indiana blades. All have a time n place. I still use mepps alot of the time.

1st spot last year, got a 45.5 on the 3rd cast of the trip. Next cast, a bigger one swiped and missed on the 8... Single fluted 8 Indiana, .40 thickness. Had a couple follows on the same bait that week from the back of the boat, while my partner in the front was throwing double blades. It may be that bait just, as other singles don't have it, but there is a distinctive thump to it. Then again, the one I caught, and every other follow came on a major, or sunset... Ha!
