The Indiana Blade is great for walleye harnesses and spinnerbaits where more flash and less vibration is required. The willowleafblade is a very long narrow blade. It spins very close to the shaft and has an angle of rotation of about 20 degrees. The blade spins very fast and tight to the shaft so it is ideal for quick retrieves and swift currents on weighted spinners. Due to the tight spin, it gives a lot of flash. It's most popular use is on spinnerbaits, lake trolls and extra large bucktail spinners for big pike and musky. Use the willowleaf when speed and flash are needed. It will allow you to get deeper than any other blade on quick retreives because there is minimal lift from this blade. The willowleafblade will maximize flash because of the tight angle of rotation. The willowleaf is fantastic on spinnerbaits when fishing weedlines because this long slender blade seldom gets hung up on grass, weeds or brush. When the game fish are feeding on minnows use a willowleaf blade to imitate the flash of the shinny bait fish.

The French blade was developed in France over fifty years ago. Since then it has been most commonly referred to as the French blade. It is used many of popular weighted spinners. The French blade is used on more trout spinners than any other blade. This blade's angle of rotation is about 40 degrees. The idea is the recessed domed blade creates a fish-calling sonic effect. This blade is a medium depth running blade and is good for still to slow moving currents. The French blade is generally use on weighted trout spinners in sizes 0 to 3. It is also very popular with pike and musky anglers in the larger sizes on bucktail spinners. Although not very popular on spinnerbaits it does work extremely well for bass and pike when rigged on spinnerbaits. The swing and ripple blades are both transplants from Europe. They are used on many very popular spinners.

It is quite similar to the willowleaf blade except that they are more rounded on the ends. One brand alone sells over 7 million spinners annually. Both blades have an angle of rotation of about 20 degrees. Little lift is created by these blades so they will run deep with properly weighted bodies.
