| Do any of you guys know where I can buy giant colorado's similar to the cowbell that MM was useing on the original cowgirl? It seems that the manufacturer went our of business that was building them. If I can't find anywhere to buy these I'm going to make them myself, only problem is I can only get my stainless in 48"x96" sheets. That will get me at least 400 blades if not closer to 500 if I take my time programing, anyone interested in these let me know if it's worth the effort through a pm. I think it will cost around $1.50 each according to my best guess. I won't know for sure until I find out how many manhours I have into this. I would much rather just buy them as I only need about 10 or 15 blades.
I've tried stamina already thats who said the manufacturer went out of business. |

| Are the large blades in his catalog called the magnum ten the same as you are talking or are they a special order item. The original cowgirl had a way bigger blade than a number ten. |

| Thanks Ranger 620 and Gman, I have #10's, those are easy, I'm looking for the approximately 4"x2" long cowbell blades. #10's are nothing new Musky Safari tackle has been useing them for at least 4 or 5 years on his bucktails, and thats just when I found his baits, no clue how long he started making them before that. I really don't understand the big hype over the company's that sell them now heck I believe that Rollies sells Musky Safari bucktails for $17! What did you pay for the other guys stuff? Oh yea compare the wire on the big name baits to the ones I'm talking about, No Comparison at all! |

| the #10s you get from stamina are about 3 by 1 and 3/4. The #10s you get from rollies are much smaller. I even bought 11s from rollies, got them in the mail and the're smaller than the Stamina 10s
Double Cowgirls use the stamina sized 10s |

Location: The Yahara Chain | As baitmaker66 mentioned, Stamina sells a mega blade. It is much larger than the #10's. It might be what you are looking for. |

| I've ordered the Mega Blades from Stamina before, but I don't see them in the 2007 catalog, or on their web site. |

You also might try emailing Musky Mahyem and ask them? They may even have some left from the old days?

| Those blades were originally stamped by River Run. They are out of business.

| I've ran a mega blade on my spinnerbait before, but even at 14oz+ it still rides pretty high in the water, & pulls like a mule!
Here's a picture

| I know they are not Colorado, but the BIGGEST blades I've ever seen are on the Gibbs-Nortac "JUMBO WILLOW LEAF TROLL".
The willows are 5 1/4" X 3", and the Indianas (Bear Valley) are 4" X 3". I don't know if they will sell just the blades.
