To clarify, if I’m fishing faster water, I won’t impart any action to the float and allow the current to spin the blade. Anyway, this tactic on a river is a common setup for Salmon, Steelhead or Trout as the moving water imparts most of the action on the blade. In fact, this short floating approach with a blade was the setup I had when I caught my first ever Steelhead! I’ll never forget it. The blade should not be hitting the bottom but always drifting above (called “short floating”). I personally like to fish blades under a float in moving water or tide (usually a river). These blades can also act like an intruder in a fishes holding spot and I’ve seen them bite out of (what I believe was) strictly aggression. So this lure is likely to be more effective when there are more fry/smolts present in the water system. These Colorado blades have a flutter action to them and mimic a fry or smolt (minnow). Colorado Blades (“blades”) can be fished in a number of ways: drifted under a float, trolled, cast and retrieved, and likely many other ways that I’ve yet to try.
