On the other hand, they are not a good choice for deep water, slow rolling, or vertical drop presentations. Blades are available in many different sizes. On most spinnerbaits you can switch blades to achieve different combinations of size, color, flash, vibration, and depth. If the bass are feeding on shad I try to match my blade size to the size of their body. As with all baits, don't be afraid to experiment until the bass tell you what they want.
Different conditions call for different sizes, colors, and presentations.
Blade finishes can be painted, flat metallic, or hammered. Silver, gold, and copper are the most common colors. However, don't overlook the whole new family of painted blades which has invaded the market. Water clarity and light conditions dictate my blade color choice. In clear water I prefer silver.
