If I am making them in 9/10 and 8/9, would the smaller blade be an Indiana and the larger Colorado? Is the Colorado closest to the front of the lure?
Thanks for answering.

Tried a #8 Colorado in front, and a #10 Colorado in the back... didn't work out worth a crap...

That said...Inquiring minds want to know!!

I've made them in a bunch of different combinations. Doesn't seem to matter, the blades spin opposite of each other. Heres a video of a 10/9 in operation and a screen shot.

I have made a bunch as well. All seem to work with minor tweaks. I have run colorado/willow combos even and they spin as well. If having issues check the clevises, normally your issue is there not the blades.

I like to have the smaller of the two blades on the bottom and the larger on top

I have made some and if they are different styles, I like to have the one with more "lift" on the bottom; i.e. a Colorado under an Indiana or willow, etc. I feel like they click and bang off each other more creating more noise.
