Colorado blades?
I see some of you guys using Colorado blades for lips on Surfsters and such. I finally found them in the Netcraft catalog. Now I'm just trying to decide on size. The #7 looks to be about right. I plan on using them on 2.5oz Surfsters that are about 6.25"oal and 1.4" in dia. Am I on the right track or do I need bigger / smaller?
Thanks

Just wondering if you guys have seen the "chopper" blades in Stamina and what you thought about them. Sizes are limited but they look promising.

Did up a couple Amazon ripper type plugs with those for a musky fishing friend. Those things scream when coming through the water

i can run any thincknes you want once the die is set up, its not a problem. but were probably going with #304 stainless in .030"- .032" thickness. That sound ok?

they have to be heavy, cause there's no lead in surfsters. they relyed on the weight of the lip to do the work.

20 gauge is .0359" so if your are working with .030" to .032" stainless you really have 22 or 21 gauge, respectfully.
