Location: Twin Cities, MN | OK, I have checked around a bit, does anyone make a nice magnum colorado blade in copper in the 9 ? I have tried Moore's, lurepartsonline, and jannsport.
Thanks.

| I'd like to give an answer to this question. First these blades are not COLORADO. They ate MAGNUMS. Two companies make these blades. Worth, which makes a 8, 9 and 12 and Lakeland, a 9, 10 and 12. Both Worth's and Lakeland's 10 and 12 are basically the same size. The Worth 8 and Lakeland 9 are not. The #9 blade has never been a good blade as it never would spin very well on a straight shaft bait. It has a very different configuration than the 8, 10 and 12. We dropped this from our catalog years ago. Worth does not plate any copper blades. Lakeland has a plating compnay near them that does their plating. That is why we can offer their blades in copper and smoke. The #9 is available in copper. Just make sure you want the 9 and not the 8. If there is enough demand for the 8 in copper we will see about getting them plated. Hope his will be of some help.

Location: Apple Valley, MN | An alternative purchasing copper plated blades is to paint nickle blades. I've had good success painting nickle blades with copper powder paint. There are many different types of powder paint available. I found a candy/metallic copper color that works well. |
