timturr Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hi all, I am trying to determine who makes the best quality, premium spinnerbait blades. I have been buying from Barlow's in small quantities but I am not happy with the quality of their GOLD colorado blades. I am looking for a premium gold blade in size #6 or #7 depending on the mfg. I am prepared to buy in bulk. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their B.B. swivels are 1st class also. great folks for Mfg.'s to deal with. http://www.thomasnet.com/profile/10042469/worth-manufacturing-co.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I use Worth blades and ball bearing swivels on all my baits and they have excellent quality as well as a reasonable price, Hildebrandt makes a great blade if you don't mind paying a dollar a piece for them and I'm not aware of any place that sells them by bulk. I think your best bet is to go with the Worth blades, they do sell direct but you must buy at least 1000 and if you don't have a tax id # then you'll have to pay the 10% excise tax but it still is cheaper than buying a few pieces at a time.

psv Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) Lakeland for me. Lakeland 24K Gold finish is avesome. They have 0.18, 0.25 & 0.40 gauge blades. Plus, really good customer service. I tried Hagen's blades and have no complains , but LL is better. Even after 10% + 1$( if you order less then minimum qty) per each line in your order , the final price is still cheaper then from Stamina or Barlow's Edited February 3, 2010 by psv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think their BB swivels are second to none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timturr Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Thanks guys for all the great input. I had already narrowed it down to Lakeland or Worth. I have no experience with either so I came to the place where I know I would get solid advice and as always, TU members know their stuff. Thanks again, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
