The Binsky Blade Bait, the best all season lure
The blade bait is a versatile, productive, and underutilized lure that produces aggressive strikes from trophy freshwater fish, especially in deep, open water. Don’t go freshwater fishing without one in the tackle box.
While The Binsky blade bait can be used all year round, it is most effective from fall thru winter and early spring. When water temperatures plummet game fish school up in tighter groups in deeper water. They also seem to travel less making them more reliable and easier to find trip after trip.
The Binsky is most effective in cold water it can be just as productive in the heat of summer. Game fish will do the same as in winter when water temps get increasingly warm in the summer. The fish will migrate to offshore structures and school up, often following schools of baitfish.
How To Use A Binsky Blade Bait
The Binsky Blade Bait is a reaction lure. That is a critical element to keep in mind while throwing a blade. Fish are not eating the Binsky because they are hungry and they think the slab of metal looks appetizing. When fished properly – blades will trigger non active largemouth and smallmouth bass into striking regardless of their mood. There are a multitude of ways to work a blade bait – anywhere from vertical jigging to a steady retrieve like a lipless crankbait.
The most effective cold water retrieve that we have found is a yo-yo retrieve. The two most important details of the yo-yo retrieve is that between lifts – the bait rests on the bottom, and you should let it fall on semi-slack line . A mid-column yo-yo doesn’t seem to be as effective. From our experience, the vast majority of strikes on a blade bait occur while the Binsky bait is falling, or while it is resting on the bottom; you will go to lift – and there will be a fish on it.
When working The Binsky Blade Bait bait – mix up the speed, cadence and height of your lifts until you find what is triggering bites under the present conditions. Sometimes it’s small pops of the bait off the bottom – from just a few inches to a foot. And sometimes it’s big 4-5ft pulses of the bait. There is no right or wrong answer – this can change by the day, hour, minute – so experimentation is key.
