Question
Spinner Blade
I would like you to identify a spinner blade for me. What is the name of the blade and what lure was it on? Thank you.
AnswerHi Justin,
That brought back good memories. That was on a spinnerbait put out by Mepps called the Mepps Bass Killer. I was doing some consulting work for them at the time. If you wanted it to run shallow or slower you could open it up and it would run like a Colorado. If you would squeeze it shut it would run deeper or faster like an Indiana.
The bait only lasted a few years. Too much competition in the spinnerbait market.
That was the only bait that they used them on here in the US. In Europe it was offered on an in-line spinner.
The blade didn't really have a name but we referred to it as the scissors blade.
Thanks,
Marc
PS, I remembered it was called the "Double Cross" blade.
