I have fallen back on three blades for almost all my applications on the
river.
1/4oz willow white w/blue skirt in clear water.
1/2oz White on white almost everywhere else.
1/2oz Midnight Snack early in the morning or late in the evening.
Occassionally I'll throw white and chartreuse in 1/2 oz with white and
chart blades.
In muddy water I just swap a single big colorado blade onto any of the
above that don't already have one.

The spinner bait of choice in So. Cal. lakes is 1/2 oz white and
chartreuse with silver willow blades. Or lighter when throwing over
shallow grass, heavier when "bumpng" the bottom. The lakes are pretty
clear for the most part...fast retrieves seem to produce the best.

Like California Bill, I don't fish spinners very often, but the kid
does, and I talked to him about em.

I did catch a nice one on a Secret Weapon I got from Joe at the Classic
at Brakley this year though .
