Key Features of the WNC Colorado Blades – Size 5:
-
Larger Blade: The Size 5 Colorado blade will create more vibration and flash than the smaller Size 4. This makes it ideal for attracting fish from a greater distance or in murkier water where fish rely more on vibrations than on sight.
-
Versatility: While these are great for bass and walleye, they can also be effective for pike and musky, especially when you’re targeting larger individuals. Larger blades tend to produce more powerful action, which is great for getting the attention of bigger fish.
General Tips for Size 5 Blades:
-
Retrieve Speed: A slower, steady retrieve is often most effective with the larger Colorado blades, but dont be afraid to experiment with different speeds, especially for bass and pike. If youre targeting walleye, a trolling technique with a slow, steady speed can be highly effective.
-
Water Depth & Clarity: These blades work well in murky or deeper waters, where the vibrations can travel farther. Theyre not as effective in crystal-clear water, but if the fish are deep enough, the added vibration can still catch their attention.
-
Colors: Just like with the Size 4 blades, in murky water, go for brighter metallic colors like gold, silver, or brass. For clear waters, natural minnow-like patterns or white can work well.
Setup Ideas:
-
Walleye: Pair it with a bottom bouncer rig, spinner rig, or jigging spoon to increase effectiveness.
-
Bass: Combine it with a weedless jig or spinnerbait setup for fishing around submerged vegetation or structures.
-
Pike/Musky: Use it with a larger spinnerbait or inline spinner, and dont forget a steel leader to prevent bite-offs!
