blade baits?

[Colemanvdh123]

If anybody has watched any of the episodes of in depth outdoors on ice from last year you will notice that they talk very highly about these blade baits. Well Ive been looking for these blade baits and can not for the life of me find any.

So my question is who makes these baits? Where can I find them?. And do they really work?

If anybody has information on these blade baits please give your opinion. Colors sizes anything would be great.

Custom Jigs and Spins is the company that makes the baits. I have a couple but haven't used them much. They put out some good action in the water so I'm sure they would work for almost all species of fish. You will find their HSOforum on Google.

From watching the videos it looks like they are mainly used for walleyes

I use the Zip lures, they are blade baits. You can find them at Fleet Farm.

I mainly use them for the hard water season, but have been using them more and more during the open water season in minnow/jig situations.

Most blade baits are essentially the same design. Zip Lure, Cicada, B Fish N Tackle, etc.

They are popular baits in stained water where fish can key in on the vibration.

These blade baits the ones that are copies or modifications of the classic Heddon Sonar?

Exactly, I use them in the WI river flowages, which are stained water. They are an easy bait to hole hop with on the hardwater.

Yea your right b fish n tackle is the name of the company. I think they are part of custom jigs and spin.

These are also good baits for lake trout.

Yeah those look like the ones. Thanks a lot.

I grew up watching my dad jig blade bates with great success (open and hard water). I use them fairly regularly for eyes and lake trout. Fun change of pace lure and no other bait is hit harder through the ice IMO when the fish are on.

Tried them last year on LOTW and then tried the Cicada's and then went back to my frostee's and rattle spoons and even a pink charmer. I found that our best success while there was a simple gold hook and minnow. they do throw out some serious vibrations in the water and you can feel it in the pole when lifting the bait fairly aggressively. Just like everything else...when the fish are biting they don't seem to care as much what you throw at them. The cicada says on the packages that they are used for southern sauger fishing. I will try them again this year and see if any better luck.

I use them when perch fishing on Mille Lacs. When running and gunning to find perch schools, the blade bait seems to call in the fish. If they don't eat it I drop down a smaller spoon with euros.

I just picked up two Sebile Vibratos and I'm excited to give them a shot for walleyes. I've also been told that these are deadly for lakers.
