Location: Grand Rapids, MI | It's already done but I haven't thrown one to comment but I think I remember John saying they weren't much different from a double. There's a pic of one on his Muskie Customs page: http://www.muskiecustoms.com/index_files/Page324.htm |

| Wow I'd have to see the action of that. I would think it would have problems spinning. |

| There's already a bait with 4 number 10 blades. The Thumper. Pretty crazy. You can see a pic of one under my listing of baits for sale. I haven't used them at all yet except to check the action on a local pond. Moves a crazy amount of water. |

| I have re-built double 10s with three blades instead of two. The blades spin easily, it looks really cool and still pulls hard. However, surprisingly, triple 10s pull noticeably less than double 10s. I was curious about this too. If your looking for a new look or slightly different vibration, try three blades, but if your looking for the hardest pull, definatley stick with two blades. The more you feel in your wrist, the more the fish feel in their lateral line and nose. I think pull/water displacement is maximized with two blades and is decreased as you add 3 or 4 or more blades. |

| The ORIGINAL triple bladed bucktail was Mouldy's Triple T. Haven't seen one in years , but VERY similar in design to that Thumper thing. Much shorter "arms" though. |
