Fishing Blade Baits

What’s with all the new posts online about fishing with blade baits? I was just given my first one this past Christmas from my mother-in-law. Perfect timing right? Where have I been? To be honest, I always associated fishing blade baits the same as fishing a lipless crankbait. Fishing lipless crankbaits is something I dread, I’m just not a fan of it.

I like the concept of being able to adjust the snap placement for different actions on the bait, but I can promise you I will never do that. I will pick up another bait to use unless someone on my boat is absolutely smashing them on this bait.
