There are a few different ways that you can fish with a blade bait, but the most common and effective way is to use a slow steady retrieve. This means reeling the bait in at a consistent speed without stopping. The blade will spin as it moves through the water and this action will often trigger strikes from nearby fish. Another great way to fish with a blade bait is to use a jerking or twitching motion. This involves quickly snapping your rod tip up and then allowing the bait to fall back down. As the bait falls, it will flutter and spin, often enticing nearby fish to strike.
