They also come in sizes 00 to 8, ~1/2″ to 2″ in length.Ĭolorado Deep Cut Blades Sizes 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7ĭakota blades come in sizes 1 to 6, 1″ to ~3″ in length.

This gives them greater lift and water resistance which allows them to rotate at speeds slower than standard Colorado Blades. These are great all around blades as they rotate over an ideal speed range, offer great vibration and sufficient light and color flash.ĭeep Cup Colorado Blades are Colorado Blades with more surface area. They have a slow rotation speed, just above the propeller type blades. As such, they have a little less water resistance and the resulting rotation speed is somewhat lower than Indiana Blades of similar size.Ĭhopper blades come in sizes 00 to 8, ~1/2″ to 2″ in length. These blades are a slightly trimmed version of Indiana Blade. It’s probably best to group the blades into four categories: Fast – Willowleaf, Minnow and Whiptail Moderate – Dakota, Swing and Tomahawk Medium or Mid-ranged – Chopper, Olympic, French, Indiana, Fluted and Royal Willow and Slow – Colorado, Propeller and Smile.Ĭhopper blades come in sizes 3 to 6, 1 5/16″ to 2″ in length. The data was calculated for blades of the same length, which is not a normal condition, and as such does not account for differences in blade size which has a profound effect on rotation speed. The figure above shows the relative speed require to initiate rotation, which generally also equates to rotation speed and should hold reasonably true for blades of similar size. Relative Speeds Required for Blade Rotation Ultimately, this only really matters if you are backtrolling, trolling 1.8 MPH, you may run into problems with higher resistance blades so choose blades like Willowleaf, Whiptail or Dakota. Also, smaller blades start rotating at slower speeds relative to their larger counterparts. As a general rule for blades of similar size, the propeller and Colorado blades start to rotate at the slowest speeds (~0.5 to 0.8 MPH), Indiana blades are in the middle while Willowleaf blades need higher speeds for rotation.

There are at least seventeen different types of blades, at least nine textures and an infinite possibility of colors and color patterns. Types of Spinner Blades for your Spinner Harness
