I'd like to add a couple of single bladed flashabou style bucktails ( 6-8 size blades 6-8" in length). I have a few hair style already ( mepps,bucher). Was wondering what you all have used that standout from others. Do you match colors with say your double 8s, for more subtle approach when lazy fish won't bite? Do you go darker and or brighter to help get attention with less vibration? Thicker or thinner blades? I only want a handful or so that's why I'm asking you all here to hopefully help me narrow some down. Thanks

Musky mayhem single girl, rabid girl. Esox assault single 8. Lots of good blades being made today, can’t really go wrong. Colors are use depends on your water, go some natural colors and some bright colors.

Musky Mayhem single girls are a staple in our boat. Another good one would be the Rabbid Squirrel.

Single Bladed Rabid Squirrels are very good in early season,
Then Summer-Fall, I use the Munchkin from Spanky Baits-

It has a single 9 on it and has a great thump to it. Has been great on pressured waters where the fish see tons of double blades. Put a bunch of 45"-48" fish in the boat on these.

Thanks for the replies, I ended up picking out 4. A bucher 501 and 701 ( I like the fluted blades), an essox single 8, and a llungen single 8 hybrid. This go around I wanted to focus on midsized blades. I bought some of the spanky baits last year and like them alot. For these I didn't want to get the everything heavy baits. I wanted to get some that are higher riding. I was also looking at those rabbid series blades. Might give one of those a try next time I buy some more.
