Some blade baits have 3 holes for attaching a snap onto. What is the difference, I am sure the bait runs differently when tied in different holes. Is 1 hole for casting, vs. vertical jigging? Is 1 hole sorta the best of all worlds? I appreciate any help or tips.

No. I haven’t used them in years. I’m someone else will chime in.

The choice of which one isn’t strictly related to whether you’re vertical or casting but also whether the fish want a more active or subtle presentation. If I’m using blades this time of year in super cold water right after ice out I’m usually going with the front spot for less active fish.

The Cicada style or tall blade has much more vibration. Those I will change to see how fish respond
March 30, 2022 at 11:39 pm #2112429I have used these vertical jigging and have had good results at times. Im not really a Walleye fisherman. Heck I have vertically jigged Rattle Traps and caught stripies and basses when I see them on my electronics and figure by the way they are positioned they are game fish. But only used for Walters a few times. I know a guy that casts them and does well, but he does not share much. His deal. Im not sore. And may be dock talk too. lol. Who knows? If I find out he is sandbagging me, I will return the favor. lol. Anyways, anyone cast and retrieve blade baits?

March 30, 2022 at 11:55 pm #2112434Thanks slipperybog. With a name like that Im not sure if to believe of not, but, I do need to buy a used car? LOL. I hope you find this funny, that is how I intended it.
