Have been fishing the deep waters out of Dunkirk for over 30 years and always use a double bladed harness with a willowleaf blade. This year I did build some Colorado's with #6 single blades, but have yet to run them due to my double willow still producing well. Best color this year has been a blue shad hologram and a serrated blade watermelon from Warrior that the paint has been wearing off since the first day that I have used it. I keep my speed in the 2.2 to 2.5 range.
