Blade lures and jigs, especially popular for catching Bluefish and Mackerel, are proving effective in boosting catch rates. These lures shine brightly in daylight, reflecting sunlight to attract fish.
However, buying new blade lures can be expensive. If you want to customize your existing jigs or lures with blades, Gamakatsu has a great solution!
Popular Blade Lures for Daytime Fishing
Blade lures have become increasingly popular in recent years, especially for targeting Spotted Mackerel in Japan. Fish like Mackerel and Bluefish are drawn to shiny, fast-moving lures, making the flashing effect of blades very effective. Many companies are now offering blade lures and jigs.
In our tests, we found that flashing blades worked well for catching Mackerel, Bluefish, and Mahi Mahi during daytime fishing.
Customize Easily with Gamakatsu One Touch Blade
If you’re on a budget and can’t buy new blade lures, the Gamakatsu One Touch Blade is a perfect choice. It comes in versions for single hooks and treble hooks. This tool allows you to easily add blades to your existing lures and jigs.
The installation is simple: for single hooks, just slide the included cover onto the hook. If you remove the cover, you can attach the snap to the hook eye or an extra eye. For treble hooks, thread the included hook through the treble hook eye, then slide the bead on the blade side and secure it from both ends.
This means you can quickly customize your lures based on the fish you want to catch or the fishing conditions. If you prefer to fish without blades in low light conditions, you can easily remove them.
Both versions come with Colorado and Willow blade types, and you can choose from gold or silver colors. This allows you to select the best color based on the water conditions and the flashing intensity you want.
The Gamakatsu One Touch Blade is a great tool for anyone looking to easily customize their lures with blades.
