I've been having a problem with pearson grinders (willow leaf versions). Had a couple of rough backlashes (really trying to launch it out there) where the blades just straight up fly off the thing. Haven't had this problem with others. My question is two part:

1. anybody else have this problem?
2. what size blades are these so I can replace?

Thanks!

Spent a week in Canada recently using Pearson grinders pretty much exclusively. Only problem I had was wearing out the skirts. I was very impressed at the lures ability to
traverse right through heavy weed cover. It fills an important need in my tackle box.

No.

#5 Willow (1oz head). Can't help with other sizes.

I love grinders,but had 2 right out of the package first day and lost 2 blades and a trailer hook,one trailer hook had tubing and one did not,the one without was gone.drifter tackle took care of me as the lures were brand new.No problems since then.But I have thought of changing the split rings that hold the blade on or maybe soldering the split rings closed.

Thanks! They're fantastic spinnerbaits so it's a bummer when that happens.

+1 on changing the split rings on the blade, I do that immediately with these baits and haven't lost a blade since.
