    Looking for specific shape willowleaf blades... Anybody have info for me?

    The spinnerbaits in the pic are smaller compact baits I make for spring. I bought a ton of #4 blades for these and they are much larger in size than the standard #4 willowleaf in the picture as a comparison. I really like the blades on these baits, But want to get some in smaller sizes. I have not been able to locate any.

    I'd like to know where you go those. They look like the original wedge spinnerblades but I have never found a manufacturer that makes them or any vendor that had any available for purchase.

    I've seen what I'm 99% sure are the same blades for sale, in smaller sizes even. The problem is they have "Evergreen" stamped on them and are damn near a buck a piece. I'm guessing that's more than you'd want to spend on them.

    You might try contacting manufacturers in China via something like Ali Baba. If you find the right supplier and buy enough, I'm sure they'd stamp them for you in whatever dimensions you want. Downside there is that 1,000 pieces might not be enough.

    I'm unable to help but thank you for helping me. I got 100 and after thinking about it I went and got 200 more since it looks as if there isn't anyone making that style blade. I found a spinnerbait on Aliexpress that looked to have similar blades but it was hard to tell for sure. I have asked around and I will continue to search as I really like these myself, I took a picture and emailed Worth and Hagens to see if they can point in in a direction. Again I want to thank you for helping me out, it was greatly appreciated.

    No progress yet, I even reached out to Bass Pro Shops and asked who made their XPS blades and they said they can't provide that information. I'm waiting to hear back from GLC fishing, they are based in Vietnam and I'm hoping they may be able to make the blades in smaller sizes or at least know who is making those blades. So far I found 3 different spinnerbaits that look to have the same style of blade but it is hard to tell from the picture and I can't find the contact information as they are Chinses but I'm also thinking the blades are really good quality, almost too good to be coming from China. I'm not finding out a lot right now but I still haven't given up, I just wish some of these places wouldn't take so long to get back to me, it has been almost 2 weeks and I still haven't heard back from Lakeland so I'm holding out hope that maybe they might know who is making the blades. Anyway, as soon as I find out any information, good or bad, you'll be the first to know, I owe you for helping me get those, they have a lot of flash and have some thump for a willow leaf style blade.

    You don't owe me anything... I bought 1,400 of those blades and happy to have them. I gave 100 to a tackle making friend of mine and he's loving them too.

    Keep me posted.

    Dude... I have been buying from them for 25+ years... When they were "Stamina inc" .... They don't have what I'm looking for. Neither do any of the other blade sources I have seen in the USA.
