tje1989 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I was watching a fishing show on Saturaday on OLN, it was a show with Jimmy Housten. He was showing a new terminator spinnerbait with Oklahoma Blades. I have never heard of these blades and was wondering where I could get my hands on some. I have checked Cabelas, Bass Pro Shops and I work at Gander Mt. and I know we don't have them. So if anybody know wha the deal is with these and where I could buy some, the help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, tje1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Don't know where to get them, but it's a modified Willow, shorter and fatter. To me, it's kind of like an Indiana, how it's more of a Colorado than a willow, this is more of a Willow than colorado, if that makes sense.

Tally Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Oklahoma, fat willow, turtle back....all the same just different names. Been around for some time now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tje1989 Posted March 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Tally, where can I get those? Around here I just have the standard willow and colorado blades. HAve anyplace online that I can buy them? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charkins Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Jann's Netcraft calls them Magnum Willowleaf blades. I have put some on some spinnerbaits, but I can't tell that they work any better than the willowleaf, Indiana, or Colorado blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tally Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 oops...forgot one...wide willows look here http://www.staminainc.com/spinner_blades/willowleaf_wide.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I really like the mag or wide willows. I have tried a bunch of different blades and configurations, but these are the ones I am using mostly on the baits I made this winter. I honestly prefer the action both as single and tandems. Good luck! Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 The wide willow blades work great, I have had exceptional luck with them. Personally, I think they imitate a shad better than a regular willow blade, but that's just me. Now the Oklahoma blade is the same as these from Stamina but has a crease down the center and breaks into a 'Y' crease about 3/4 of the way across the blade back (hope I explained it well enough) There is also what is called the 'Olympic' blade which again is the same blade as shown above in Stamina, but has a crease the full length of the blade, this is the one I use and again have had great luck with them. To answer the original question, 'where to get them?', sorry but I don't know either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats exactly what I am looking for, the ones with the "Y" in the blade. i am just glad you know what I am looking for Reeves.

Tally Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Thanks George.......I was not aware of the different crease's. very interesting.......but you are correct about the blades, they are the most shad like blades I have ever used and they do have a place in my boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerZ Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Terminator's "Oklahoma" blades are modified versions of what most people call turtle blades and what most lure component companies sell as Mag Willow blades. They have extra creases on them just like their willow blades. They have these blades custom built and I have never heard of them being sold outside of Terminator. You can buy them direct from terminator and some tackle shops carry them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaMuskyHunter Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 The wide willow blades have great vibration and flash, i have some on spinnerbaits as well, also on a few inlines. I just purchased some magnum #8 ones from stamina, i will see how well they perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalljaw Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I actually like the mag willows better, since the crease runs through the entire length of the blade, it has a deeper cup and gives alot of vibration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
