Heavy Duty Spinnerbaits with Bassdozer Willow Blades

Bassdozer Willow Blades. I've always been fond of a smooth, lustrous, fine jewelry-like mirror finish on a Willow blade. The Bassdozer Willow has that desirable smooth surface. It's still a smooth Willow - with a little extra attraction that I hope you will like. While most of the blade (approx. 70% of the surface ) has a smooth mirror finish, it incorporates a scaled pattern in an arch along one edge. The scales cover approximately 30% of the blade. It adds an extra dimension to a smooth Willow's appearance. It features the best of both smooth and scaled finishes on one blade. One edge of the blade is scaled and the body is smooth, so there is a dual visual dimension to the spinning blade flash. As the Bassdozer Willow spins, you can see the flash of scales - and when it stalls momentarily (which blades do often whenever the retrieve cadence is broken), it has a desirable visual impression. Call it a brief glimpse of a scaled back, lateral line and smooth belly of a baitfish if you will. This dual dimension adds something that's just not possible with either an entirely smooth or an entirely scaled blade. Even using one smooth and one scaled blade won't achieve the same combined effect.

A sharp demarcation line is stamped into the blade, dividing the scaled from the smooth finish. The arched line creates a sharp transition for heightened contrast between the two finishes. Plus, the line creates a little flash line of its own that runs down the blade, and each scale on the pattern has six lines and six sides for a total of 12 reflective elements on each scale. So the arched band of scales really glistens as it reflects multiple glints of light off the shimmering reflective elements. Meanwhile, the broad, smooth section does what fish seem to like best in a smooth Willow. The Bassdozer Willow combines multiple dimensions of flash and smooth finish in one presentation. It is everything I ever wanted in a Willow blade! Please enjoy.
