It looks like it has a gold blade. Around here, a gold blade draws twice as many strikes as silver. Wonder why? Its not like we have golden baitfish here.
                            

CQ,
You also might want to give the Chartruse/Black one a try. You cant miss it, the blade and about 1/4 of an inch of the body is chartruse and the rest is black. I recommend not bending the blade on that one.

I'll have to pick one of those up!

Hey mo, yes South Bend still makes spinners but they use the ofset wire rather than the triangle bit, probobly cheaper.

You might try painting some of the Silver blades gold. And keep on hand Silver ones too. Then you have the best of both Worlds.

I really don't know how much of the stuff marketed under the South Bend name is actually made by them. Near as I can tell, most items are made under contract or purchased and marketed under the South Bend name. One thing I will give them, their products are cost effective! I will always buy certain spinners from Mepps, but I don't curse as loud when I lose a cheapy even if I do have to spend some time tuning it.
