| BenR,
Have used them and generally like them except for the lighter 3/4 ounce tandem blade. Size is good and they held up well after banging them off wood, docks, rocks, etc.

| They are my favorites. Small ones are an average bucktail size. Bigger ones are a big tandem bucktail size.
Great colors. Solid components. Made well.
The smaller ones are great spring into summer lures and won't wear you out, though you can change the blade size to a bigger Colorado to run them shallower. They also work through weeds and reeds easily. The bigger ones are just as good, just bigger. I use them with bogger blades and slow roll them. They are also a great go-to lure when the wind is blowing and you need accuracy, like fishing docks and boathouses.
You can also take the back hook off and down size either of them and flutter them down weed breaks, and they are easier to bulge than a bucktail.
Also a great throwback lure.

Location: Seymour, WI | I like them as well. Colors are fantastic, very weedless and also a good hooking bait.
Tandem blades produce alot of thump, but still retrieve well.

| I really like CJ's spinnerbaits, I have used the colorado blade model and just picked up the willow bladed model. Great colors and patterns, and I also use ERC Grinder spinnerbaits. |

| CJs are really nice spinnerbaits. Mine all look new after 5 years. The big ones are too heavy for me to reel
in for long period of time however. I use them when I troll mostly. They are bulletproof and ride high in the water column.(sp)
I also really like the Festus spinnerbait. The thing is heavy enough to stay down on a 10 foot line.
