Lures are the bait fishermen use to catch small fishes. It generally has a fishing line, one or two hooks, and an eye to tie to the fishing rod. Many have come up with different designs and shapes on the lure to attract the fishes.

Composed of a wire, skirt, and blade, this lure is also known by everyone as spinnerbait. The chances of successfully catching the sea creatures will increase when these three are combined. Metal blades are embedded on it to appeal the bait to a bit bigger fishes in addition to the usual smaller ones.

Willow blades are one of the popular and most used blades. Many enthusiasts have come up to the same opinion and conclusion when it comes to this type. It adapts faster to currents due to its streamline shape. As a result, it has a faster speed than any other type of lures.

Its round shape made it very prone to vibrations than any other types. It is best suited to use when water is steady and when fishes are tranquil in their swimming.

In between the first two blades is Indiana blades. It may not be as fast as the Willow and as slow as the Colorado, it has the best of both worlds.

The sea creatures will assume the blade is part of their school with its allusion to their movements and behavior.

It is important to understand however that all blades vibrate, flash, and spin when in water. They only vary in the degrees of how the blades are made.
