Anybody try this bait? I like the idea but it seems a little crazy. I know some people have had success with the 8 and 10 models. Just curious if the blades start up good and how hard it is to pull ( the 12) . Thanks!

Crazy?? You guys were just talking about putting size 20 blades in front of a 2 pounder in another thread a while back lmao... you oughta be able to go Triple 15's, at least. Maybe quadruple 13's.

Lmao. That's a special build that will be coming in the future lol. I know 2 large blades spin well but I was wondering how 3 do....I would think they would foul up a lot.

Used the apache triple 12's a little last year. They really don't pull any harder than a supermodel, a little easier actually. The custom 1 piece clevis keeps the blades synchronized at all times and also helps the blades start spinning immediately. Definitely nice baits.

I've used these a lot the last 2 seasons. The 1 piece clevis makes the blades spin great, and they pull about the same as double 10's or maybe a bit less.
And they catch fish!!!
