smalljaw Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 This may be a stupid question but here goes. Since I've been making my own baits I haven't purchased any mass produced baits but I have seen a few ads for the booyah spinnerbaits featuring counter rotating blades but the pics aren't enough detail to see how they accomplished this, so I'm hoping someone here might know how it's done or if I need a "special" blade?

smalljaw Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I'm sorry if you might have misunderstood, I'm looking for info on counter rotating SPINNERBAIT Blades, not buzzbait blades. The Booyah counter strike spinnerbait has them but I haven't looked at one in person and I was wondering how they get the blades to spin in different directions.

diemai Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 @ smalljaw Google for "doc shelton blades" ! Some also call them "hatchet blades" . They don't come equally sized , meaning that you cannot get clockwise and counterclockwise spinning blades of same size , they are always slightly different . These are supposed to be rigged on spinnerbaits , smaller blade lower , larger one on top of spinner arm . I have ordered a few some years ago from the US to try them , I have made some double-bladed weight-forward in-lines from them , also the smaller blade in front on wire shaft . Vibrates more than an ordinary in-line spinner , and , even better doesn't twist the line too much ! greetz , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Haulinbass posted something on this subject not long ago. Here is the thread if you haven't seen it. http://www.tackleunderground.com/forum/fishing-tips/14561-question-about-tweaking-spinner-bait-blades.html#post106809 Did something about offset holes. Give him a PM and tell him to post a pic! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
