berkley blade dancer?

Featured Replies

Anybody use this in the weedless version? Which size? I want to try some spoon fishing, but with all the weeds in our natural lakes I need a weedless spoon. Any other suggestions?

I just started fishing a Johnson Silver Minnow, tipped with a Mr. Twister grub.  No luck yet but very weedless.  Fished one as a kid and had some reasonable luck on it until I lost it in a tree.   I think with the grub tip it works best (or at least it looks the best coming through the water) fished like a jerkbait.   The Blade Dancer looks very unique, so I'm not sure if other spoons really compare to it.

The weedless bladedancer is an effective lure in and on top of slop and pads.If you got holes let it fall.

I have fished with the johnson silver minnow tipped with a grub and many many times the color of the trailor makes all the difference.Got to experiment :) Even try something loud like white,yellow,or pink. I would normally start with a clear silver,smoke,or gold.

i dont know how the weeds are there.... but if theyre like the pad beds here youre better suited not trying to work thro them., or over them..... here in ohio, the pads grow WAY outta the water, like a foot on average.... and theyre SUPER thick. Ive tried throwing just about everything on the market at them...... the thick ones keep what you feed them. basically, if a tornado hit my little home rinky dink lake, my favorite pad bed would be firmly anchored down by all the jigs and such ive lost to it.....

my best method so far has be to leave them alone, but i have used a bladedancer tipped with a berkley beast riged so it has a profile of a bluegill..... add a skirt in the mix and it makes for fun..... i pull it along the edges of the thick pads..... make sure you really work it into the nooks of the edges.... the bass smack it here.

but then again, i never catch the fish, i just tick it off by dragging a bait infront of its face....... seriously, who catches fish!? I thought we all just were in this to thro plastic things in the lake and reel them in.!? ;D
