Well I continued my search online and found some articles to read and learn from, in my search I came across the information I felt could make me a better blade jig fishermen. Now I would like to help you understand these baits a little better as I have begun to learn there ins and outs of how to fish them. So let’s start off with the bait and what the blade jig actually does to trigger the strike. The blade on these baits create vibration in the water and with the blade leading the bait through the water it moves side to side causing it to strike the jig head causing a click clack sound in the water. The vibration that this bait gives off and the clicking that is made is one of the biggest reasons fish will strike at this bait, but not the only reason.
How are these blade jigs fished for the most success possible, which would be what most people would like to know. Well the blade jig can be fishing slow retrieve or fast retrieve, high or low in the water column. It can be bounced off the bottom or dragged through the gravel on the beds of your favorite waters. It really comes down to what the fish is looking for. The blade on the bait is the key to most of the retrieves, the more movement the more vibe and click, the slower the movement the less vibration and click, but what every you choose make sure you continue to feel the blade working in the water.
