Increasing spinnerbait blade size

Featured Replies

Whats your favorite size blades when you make a 3/8,1/2 oz spinnerbait? Also your favorite wire dia.

Here is what I have been using

3/8

.032 for the wire

willow  4,  shaft 3

CO.  5,    " 2

1/2

wire .035

willow 4.5, shaft 3.5

Co 5, shaft 3

The main reason I ask is because I am wanting more blade size on the shaft and main blade.  Has anyone strapped a 4 or 4.5 willow to the shaft with a 4.5-5 on the back to a 3/8.  I'm wondering if it will tumble in the water.

Same way with the 1/2 if anyone has bumped that up to a 4-4.5 shaft and a 5 rear blade.

Well for double willow and 3/8oz i prefer size 4 and 3.5 so i can burn it.

with bigger blades like 4.5 and 4 u have to slow retrieve it in order to not roll over .

I use the same wire diam like u.

For colorado I use 4 and 2   but sometimes i ll increase the size to 5 and 3 cause most of the time i retrieve this very slow.

For single colorado I use size 5.

If u want 2 keep the same head  size but use bigger blades  i ll recommend u 2 use the hidden wieght heads from stamina or add weight 2 the spinnerbait

All of my tandem willow spinnerbaits have upsized blade combinations.  My 3/8 models are all 4 with 4.5.  My 1/2 models vary from 4 with 5 to 4 with 6.  That being said, I do slow roll alot more than I burn 'em.  But, I have fished my 3/8 models set up- with those blades pretty fast in clearer water.  I am not sure what my wire diameter is, but it is the same for both sizes.
