Hey Joe,

You got any blue chrome blades? How about half blue chrome like a
Kastmaster spoon?

I've got some 1/8 oz Stanley jigs with a blue and chrome blade, but the
finish is not the same jewel quality as a Kastmaster.

I'm think thinking two small blue & chrome willow blades with a mostly white
body with a blue back and a few blue sparkle strands over top of mostly
white sparkle strands.

I'm thinking 3/8 oz. With maybe a 1/4 oz option. Your 5/16 size might be a
nice compromise.

I actually have a skirt that would do the trick I like better than the
skirts I got from you guys last time I made a big order, so maybe just the
blades and bodies?

We have the ability to produce half & half blades but don't have any now.
Sounds like a good pattern, though. You should make some up yourself and
give them a try.

What I recommend you do is buy a blue permanent ink, felt-tip pen and trick
out a few of your chrome or nickel blades. I've used a red Sharpie on our
nickel blades, and most people can't tell the difference between the shiny,
red blades I make by hand and the more expensive powder-coated ones. The
reflective red (or in your case, blue) finish will be just as effective in
the water. The color is easily touched up after an encounter with a fish,
rock, or wood scratches the in, and you can remove it and change your
pattern easily if you decide to try a different color or pattern.

Modifying large, white willowleaf blades by adding chartreuse spots, black
ribs, eyes and red gill slits is a trick that one of our Prostaff uses
frequently for Kentucky Lake smallmouth. He adds the details to the convex
side of the blade, so as the blade twirls it produces a strobe effect.

I suspect this is in response to my request for info on Blue Fox lures.
Bass Pro didn't have any of the ones I was looking for in stock, but I did
order from their fishing equipment catalog. They've just arrived, and now
I'm itching to get out on the water to try them out.

Thanks!

Karen C.
