Product Description:

The Lightning Blade combines the benefits of jigs, crank baits and spinner baits into one bait, producing a very erratic vibrating swim action freshwater bait. The blade is attached to the jig using a split ring that gives it the erratic action. It's rigged with a Mustad Ultra Point hook, a stronger and larger hook, and the heavy-duty line tie clip is rigged for 120 lb tess line... so, you can easily hook up and haul out that lunker, but you better be ready when you throw out this Action~Reaction Strike Bait™ because bass will hit it with lightning speed. Fish in grasss, lily pads, bushes and trees - it's the most weedless swiming jig on the market!

I have tried the Lightning Blade and believe it to be the best really new lure concept in a long time. I have found one minor drawback with the lure and wonder if you have received similar feedback from others. When operating properly, the lure obviously creates a lot of vibration and resistance. However, the swivel snap can, and frequently does, hang up on the stainless steel lip, causing the lure to slide ineffectively back on the retrieve. I have used needlenose pliers to round out the angles on the snap swivel in effort to correct the problem, but not yet had a chance to see if the problem has been corrected and how it affects how the bait runs.

I know that it catches fish and perhaps all the lures don't have this problem. I look forward to stocking the box with a few more and giving them a really good workout at Toledo Bend and locally in Central La.

I have over the years tested and evaluated hundreds of new products, some with success some total flops. It is with great pleasure that I report nothing but great things about The V&M Lightning Blade. The first time I used thgis unique fine quality bait I was a little concerned that it didn't have a weed/brush guard. After the first cast I realized it didn't need one. The blade actually protected the hook. I have never felt a bait pulse through my rod tip like the Lightning Blade, the throbbing pulsating feel is incredible! The built-in swimming action allows even a novice angler to fish the bait properly.

I prefer to fish the Lightning Blade just below the surface with a fairly fast retrieve. Almost, but not quite leaving a wake. When this bait swims across a fallen log or brush pile, the bass simply cannot resist the action. I have in a short while taken several very nice bass on the Texas Sage Lightning Blade and expect even bigger and better bass in the near future. I higly recommend this bait, order a few and you'll soon be catching some qaulity fish and you don't need to be a pro to do it. My 10 year old Grandson is catching fish too!!
