As for size, it depends on how deep the fish are. Most of the time if the fish are up shallow (spring time, early and late in the day, etc.) 3/8 oz is a good size. Willow leaf blades are good for lots of flash and fast retrieves for covering shallow cover areas. Indiana or Colorado single blades in 1/2 5/8 or 3/4 oz are better for heavier deeper presentations, more thump, less flash. They seem to be easier to retrieve slow and deep, at least for me. Each one has a time and place where it is the most productive if fished to its strengths. If you fish at night, those bigger blades work good shallow too, the heavier vibration will help the fish find them (if you can find the fish! hahaha). Nails
