All of BADMO LURES' blades and spoons are stamped in the USA from high quality brass and are plated with genuine gold, silver, foil, and copper finishes. Because of the blades success, production is underway to offer a smaller size version of the Erie ArrowHead blade. Just another attribute to truly make this blade a one-of-a-kind. BADMO LURES' blades and spoons also come stamped with a unique 'ripple' pattern rather than the typical 'hammered' or 'hex' pattern thus creating a remarkable amount of 'flash' being emitted. Below is a snapshot comparing the size of the Erie ArrowHead spinner blade with some Indiana and Colorado blades to get a better handle on the blade's size. BADMO LURES' Erie ArrowHead blade currently comes in one size (#8-Large). With the blades unique shape this makes the sizing of the blade somewhat different. This gives the Erie ArrowHead blade a 3D 'propeller blade' look and profile in the water for another added dimension to spinner fishing. A third variation fisherman use with the blade is to take the legs of the blade and bend one leg forward and one leg backwards. Conversely, by bending the sides of the blade up or 'stepping on it', the blade will 'flatten' out thus causing the blade to rotate at a slower speed and a wider angle. By applying some hand pressure and bending the sides down some, the cup of the blade will increase thus causing the blade to rotate faster, and at a tighter angle around the line or lure.

Another unique characteristic of the blade due to its design, is the fact that the blade is somewhat 'flexible,' meaning the blade can be bent or manipulated to change the blades rotation speed, angle, and vibration pattern (thump). Thus the Erie ArrowHead spinner blade shape was born. The blade was created to fill a niche with Lake Erie charter captains and walleye fishermen who wanted all the attributes of fishing a larger blade size, but be able to fish them at much faster speeds, and still have the blade retain its spin or rotation. As the two previous double blade combinations are meant to target both a bass’ sense of feel and sight, Stone believes a double willow leaf combination to be solely a “sight” presentation for bass.BADMO LURES' Erie ArrowHead spinner blade has a unique one-of-kind spinner blade shape. The shape of the blade has the length, width, profile, and 'thump' of a larger size #8 Indiana or Colorado blade, but unlike these larger more common blade sizes, they can be trolled or reeled much 'faster' without having the blade 'spin out' thus causing it to stop spinning or creating severe line twist. With the decreased water displacement of willow blades, Stone is able to burn his spinnerbait to imitate fleeing shad. To target bass gorging on plentiful populations of shad, he uses twin willow leaf blades. Whenever the early morning water temperature rises to 65-degrees, Stone has one thing on his mindâ€”shad. Because some bass may remain a bit hesitant in this temperature range, Stone aims to keep his spinnerbait in the strike zone for as long as possible. In order to increase his number of bites, he doesn’t want to see the blades.

While he does, in fact, fish a spinnerbait faster in these conditions, Stone still keeps a watchful eye on the bait. As the shad become more active in this temperature range, the willow leaf blade lets Stone significantly increase his retrieve speed while also effectively emulating a small shad. As the water warms to between 55- and 60-degrees, the large majority of Stone’s spinnerbait success comes on a Colorado and willow leaf combination.
