bream on blades colours?

[FishoDave]

hey guys

i was thinking of picking up a few blades soon and try am out in some local water for bream, flathead and water else comes along.

basically i was going to look at blades and vibes. some examples are:

strike pro micro vibe

cyber vib

possible switchblade

i'm basically looking at some around the $10 mark and not too much more.

just wondering if anyone knows some fairly successful colours to use. just to point me in the right direction.

thanks,

Dave

Damiki vault in the holo silver, or the black holo seem to go alright. Not sure if its the colour, rather more the action of it.

from my own experiences as well as the statistics i've tracked based on sales from my own lures, the best performing colours tend to be the more subtle realistic ones.

I like the light colours, white, clear, or a bit of colour but presented in a natural way (like subtle purple sheens as seen on real baitfish)

alot of flathead guys like bright colours but i've never really gone for unnatural tones personally

As scope said the vaults are good on the bream, I like the 32mm in green and blue. Also the small tt's in the bronzish colour. Good luck with it

Silver and black tt's have got the most bream for me, actually tt's have caught all my bream on blades

[FishoDave]

thanks guys

i'll check those ones out when i get to the stores

[Keechie]

Plain unpainted silver and gold for me, i just like the colour and never lets me down. Keep the lure moving and not sitting in the same place for a little while and your bound to catch a bream on a blade.

[Zim man]

to give you an idea my best selling colours are the silver ones, silver green, ayu , gold and black & gold colours. TT and vaults are around the same price bracket , not sure on the other brands

i like blades for the castability but for what ever reason i havent managed a good bream on them yet iv used strike pro, TT and ecogear blades and only managed good flathead and tailor which seem to like to steal my blades when i use light leader

as for price the strikepro are cheap and iv had good sessions on flathead on them, theres a place iv just found that i can fish a channel on low tide that looks prime blade fising as its mud flats so going to take the blades next time and persevere especially with the ecogear ZX's

also look for custom blades my mate makes blades im going to try them let you know how i go

[FishoDave]

cheers guys

what are the prices of TT and damiki vaults?

i got an idea on the strike pro stuff, i think they're around 12
