| I damaged a blade on one of my DC 10's.
I have an idea and am interested in your thoughts. I'm just going to remove that blade and clevis and try it as a "single bladed DC 10".
Would it work? Am I missing anything. I assume that the blade would turn over much easier at the the start of the retrieve - something that has always bugged me about any double-blade bucktail was it coming in "flat" (eg; blades not spinning)
Although I don't have a way to verify, I believe that the vibration footprint would also be different.

Location: c.wis | sometimes with larger blades, solo will cause the whole bait to wobble- but if you get the spacing and whatnot right they run fine. single 10's are great cause not many throw them- something different |

Location: Contrarian Island | Eric...and a wobbling single 10 would be bad why???? ;o)
back when d10s came out I screwed around with single 10s quite a bit.... one nite I had a guy in my boat throwing a single 10 and I threw a double...fishing behind my double he got a 43"er at night.... they work.... and I'd be throwing double or single 10s that wobble...  |

Location: Racine, Wi | Single 10's have been around for a long time, and definitely catch fish. Was catching fish on home made single 10's long before anyone thought of the crazy idea to put 2 of those dudes on there. :). Wish I would have been the crazy one to throw the second blade on. haha.
Regardless, single 10s definitely work, and if I recall correctly, Larry Dahlberg or maybe Senior Worrall did an underwater study that showed that the singles were actually louder then the doubles. I could be wrong though. |

Location: deephaven mn | you are right, Dahlberg did the sound testing and the single #10 blade produced a louder thump that the double 10's |

Location: Sun Prairie, WI | I had Gerry Carroll build me a single ten this summer with a .040 blade. I love it! Runs as true as the day is long. |

Location: South-Central PA | Single 10's and 12's are very nice to use over submerged weeds. It's easy to run them shallower (if they're not weighted).

Location: 31 | Singles pull a little harder too... been using them for over 20 years. I use both singles and doubles now, but I can understand your concern because it even feels like I'm shortchanging myself somehow with a single nowadays. |

Location: north central wisconsin | Single 10's were some of my best big fish producers for over 12 years before the double 10 craze hit. I still kick myself for never putting two of them on, but tip my hat to those that finally did. With that said, I still run singles as I have certain situations where they simply shine. |

| No reason to think they wouldn't work. My most productive double 10's are so beat up that the blades don't spin right anymore. In fact I don't even like them until they'be been bent up a few times. |
