As gregwtf says - bouncers have been the best thus far. I have found that willow blades in diamond cut gold to be the best so far. I cast 99% of the time. Haven't trolled in 2 years. I actually use my trolling rods for bouncers so that when I start to catch them, I am able to put the lure back to the same exact depth using the line counter on the reel. I am usually on the lake 2 days a week. Usually Saturday and then one week night. The best casting blade I have had this year is a #5 colorado bait fish blade in silver and green with a gold back with yellow and green beads. Most of our casting bites have been in the 5 - 10 count zone. If you want, call me anytime and I will pass on info that I have. 419-356-2581 (Paul).
