I really like throwing bladebaits especially in the colder months. They seem to work well for alot of species.

Anybody else here use them for striper/whites/hybrids. I like the idea that I'm covering more water-cast out and jig back to the boat.

I think you mean the gay blade? Yes they work for whites and hypers. But they work better when the fish are schooling and suspended.

Thats one of them but there are many out there that come with three holes to tie your line and vary the amount of vibration
they make on the retreive.
