Useing Road Runners which style blade produces more hits, willow blades or Indiana blades ? Or does it even matter ? -Thanks
... that a willow leaf blade creates more flash, so it's best used in clearer water, and/or on brighter days ... while a colorado/indiana blade creates more thump (water pressure vibrations), so it's best used in stained/murky water, and/or on more overcast days. Or so the theory goes.Quote:

The last roadrunners I bought had willow leaf blades. I haven't tried them yet.
I like Indiana blades a lot better than the willow
I would think the "fatter" blades (indiana, colorodo) would allow for a slower retreive for the same depth because of more friction created in the water.....just thinking...
Doesn't a rounder blade on a bass spinnerbait ride higher in the water than a willow leaf bladed spinnerbait because of that same principle?
I prefer the brass willow leaf blades with red hooks when trolling in murky to muddy water. It is to my understanding that the brass willow blade is best for stained to muddy water. I don't use bodies on them most of the time. Just a minnow baited through the lips. If the bite gets tough and these aren't producing I will take off minnow and add a Slider grub in junebug/chtrs. Both of these techniques have proven deadly at the lakes I fish.
