Location: St. Lawrence River | Are #8 blades and magnum #8 blades a different thing? ( also #9's/magnum #9's) and if so, how much size difference? |

Location: Aurora | Mags are thicker but typically the same size.
Example: Regular .020 / Mag .040 |

Location: North Metro, MN | There usually is a difference. The places I have gotten blades from usually have a reg. # 8 colorado like you see on bass spinners, wally rigs, or something like a show girl. While the "mags" they sell are closer to what you see on most big clanger flash bucktails. The reg. 8's l I have measured around 2" long x 1 3/8" wide & the mags are closer to 2 3/4" x 1 5/8" wide. They may also offer a different thickness to be aware of as well. The thicker blades will pull harder. |

Location: North Metro, MN | Just saw what Sidejack posted...I guess it can depend where you get them from too. Some places will advertise them differently. Certainly true..some may just sell the thicker ones as a mag but are the same size. Many places actually have a size difference though, hopefully you can see the specs or a size chart to compare them. |

Location: NE Ohio | i do know that my JR DOUBLE COWGIRLS are supposed to have "mag" #8 colorado blades. the thickness is .020 not .040, but the overall size looks to be ONE size larger like a #9. my spanky's with "mag" #8 colorado blades have the .040 thickness and are regular #8 colorado blade size. so i don't know whats right.

Location: The Yahara Chain | Magnum and Colorado are two different blade styles. The thickness has nothing to do with it as both blade styles are available with a thicker version.
