Aussie baits Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Morning Folks, I have started making spinner baitrs over here in Australia and need some information on blade finishes from the different companies. I have seen the Worth blades and am impressed with there quality but don't really need to purchase a thousand at a time just yet. Then I found the Hagen's website and see they offer there blades in smaller amounts which suits me considering I am paying between $5-8 bucks for 10 blades from places like Lureparts Online. With all of the experience out there do you guys think the Pro spin blades from Hagen's are as well finished as the Worths or do you know any tackle suppliers out there stocking Worth Super Quality blades that would be willing to sell and freight some smaller quantities, around 2-300 blades of varying sizes, to Australia. I have Pay Pal account or can pay via credit card if that suits. I have attached a couple of shots of some of our much sought after native fish called Murray Cod and some of my spinnerbaits. These felleas grow up to 100lb in our rivers and dams. These two are around 15-18lb.

LimpNoodle Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Please convert your image to a standard image format. I don't download .doc files from anyone I don't know. Nor do I recommend anyone else do it. Also many people don't have MS Word installed. Which style of blade are you looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie baits Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) The blades I mainly use are smooth metal finishes in Colorado, willow and Indiana in sizes 2,3 and 4 depending on manafacturer. I also use hammered metal finishes in Colorado syle blades in sizes 4 and 5 as these are very good for dirty water over here.

psv Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) Hi, I use Hagen's Pro Gold Colorado #3 & #4 (Plane & Hammered finish) on my spinnerbaits and the the blades are very high quality. The spinnerbaits and fish look good on those pictures. Edited March 17, 2012 by psv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie baits Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Thanks Guys, I am looking to by bulk amounts hence the reason for the post, Barlows and Lureparts online have excellent products but the cost for bulk numbers gets too expensive. Thanks for the comments about Hagens's pro series I might I might get some gear from them and see what they look like. Thanks again for the help.
