The data was calculated for blades of the same length, which is not a normal condition, and as such does not account for differences in blade size which has a profound effect on rotation speed. The figure above shows the relative speed require to initiate rotation, which generally also equates to rotation speed and should hold reasonably true for blades of similar size. Relative Speeds Required for Blade Rotation Ultimately, this only really matters if you are backtrolling, trolling 1.8 MPH, you may run into problems with higher resistance blades so choose blades like Willowleaf, Whiptail or Dakota. Also, smaller blades start rotating at slower speeds relative to their larger counterparts. As a general rule for blades of similar size, the propeller and Colorado blades start to rotate at the slowest speeds (~0.5 to 0.8 MPH), Indiana blades are in the middle while Willowleaf blades need higher speeds for rotation. For a complete list of sizes please click here. Below I show examples of all types and a representative set of sizes, colors and textures. There are at least seventeen different types of blades, at least nine textures and an infinite possibility of colors and color patterns. When fishing a blade in slower water I’ll add a little more tension and maybe include a slow retrieval to ensure the blade is spinning or getting some action.Types of Spinner Blades for your Spinner Harness To clarify, if I’m fishing faster water, I won’t impart any action to the float and allow the current to spin the blade. Anyway, this tactic on a river is a common setup for Salmon, Steelhead or Trout as the moving water imparts most of the action on the blade. In fact, this short floating approach with a blade was the setup I had when I caught my first ever Steelhead! I’ll never forget it. The blade should not be hitting the bottom but always drifting above (called “short floating”). I personally like to fish blades under a float in moving water or tide (usually a river). These blades can also act like an intruder in a fishes holding spot and I’ve seen them bite out of (what I believe was) strictly aggression.
So this lure is likely to be more effective when there are more fry/smolts present in the water system. These Colorado blades have a flutter action to them and mimic a fry or smolt (minnow). Colorado Blades (“blades”) can be fished in a number of ways: drifted under a float, trolled, cast and retrieved, and likely many other ways that I’ve yet to try.
