TT Switchblade and TT Ghostblade

[AdamK]

Hey Guys,

I was just in BCF and noticed they have TT switchblades and TT ghostblades. Besides the fact that the ghostblade is clear in the body what else is the difference, and whats the best way to retrieve them.

Cheers Guys

In my opinion the ghost blade has a much softer vibration, as why i tend to stick with the normal switchblade as i can really feel its there and the fish will be able to pick up on it easier.

The ghostblade has a much wider action compared to the switchblade so can be fished a lot slower than the switchblade.

I've got both in my tacklebox at the moment mate, and find the lighter GhostBlades great for the more 'finnesse'styles of fishing, spooky bream in shallow water etc.

Switchblades are more suited to an area with a moderate current or some type of depth, and make a great 'searching'lure. More weight also means more casting distance.

Just be careful, the tailor don't mind either in the smaller sizes, and it can be costly

Ha, buy some replacement hooks as well, big flatties cant resist the switchblades. Haven't lost a lure yet but I keep breaking hooks while landing the big girls.

Even the fine owner trebles most people use to replace the originals will break in the smaller sizes, I've done quite a few

though it was a berkley big eye blade so i dunno if they have the same trebles and split rings as a ghost or switchblade.
