I have several Musky Buster Bucktails that have done well for me with a colorado blade. I usually choose an Indiana, just because I like the 'thump' they put out. What is your favorite blade style, and why?

Picture is:

I use a lot of Indiana blades too on the dark water around here, I also like the blades on the Slipper Sams. They are more subtle but fish really seem to like the tighter vibration.

I think you are right on Mag Willow, they are really easy to burn and easy on the arms. That color combo in the pic, Chart Blade/Tail with purple skirt has really been the hot ticket this year when I was able to fish on smaller dark water lakes in Oneida County.

I like deep cup colorado blades. They do well for me over cabbage. A doulble french spinner has done me well this year too.

For bucktails, its fluted indiana or french for me.

For spinnerbaits, I like colorados and willows.

Much depends on the situation, and type of structure I am fishing, however, a Colorado blade has been good to me. I have a Shumway Flasher, two Colorado's and maribou tail that has put 18 fish in my boat. The thing is finally toast, one of the blades wore off. It is now on my wall. Bait put four fish in the boat last week, a 38, 43, 47, and a beautiful 49 1/2. Had to make an emergency call to Bruce. The blade is similar to the blades on the Lily Tail, which is also a very successful bait on Leech.

Good luck, Murph
