[cool] Thanks for the supportive vote. Got a question for ya, BLM, and other fans of the vertical presentation (jigging). Is anyone actively using any of the "blade baits"? One of the commercial models is known as the Cicada, and there are several others.
The reason I ask is that I have heard some favorable reports on using them for "spooning"...jigging up bass, walleyes, trout and other species that will smack a jigged lure. I have molds for 1/4 oz. and 1/2 oz. size, and I planned to make up some "Perch Urchin" flavors...to fish in the horizontal manner we have just been discussing.
For those not familiar with them, they have three holes in the back, to allow for different attachment of your line or snap swivel...to produce different slants when held steady...or different action when jigged or retrieved. I'm thinking that a little "rackabye baby" wiggle might be enticing. Just wanted to know if anyone else has tried them...and with what results.
