Location: Midland, MI 48642 | This past month I picked up an assortment of blades that Tommy Harris makes up and I tell you what they really work. This pic isn’t the best I keep getting a reflection no matter what I did with my cheap camera so this is the best I could come up with. These are some of the best color patterns I have seen and like I said they are deadly. He has many many more patterns and comes up with new ones all the time. I know Franks in Linwood Mi has them but right off I do not know of any other outlet unless you might be able to call Tommy Harris himself (262-697-0018) and get more info on where to locate them. Just had to pass these along to see what you thought. Have a good day. Skeeter

Location: Rhinelander | I also used his blades this summer, but not just for 'eyes. I made a series of spinnerbaits for Pike and Bass with his custom blades, and kicked the fish around on them pretty well. |

| hey skeeter,
i use his blades too. they work great. the only regret i have is he doesn't make his old blades anymore. those old blades he had were really killer. i think scott at franks said he sold that die cut to viper tackle. ya know the blades with rattles. so i thought i'd try the rattle blades, but i can't go as slow as i like to with them. they work better up around 1.5 m.p.h.
as to your picture. did you try it without flash?
good fishing....adam |

Location: Midland, MI 48642 | I put a piece of black electrical tape over the buld area. Probably would have taken better outside in day light but I took them last night. I think most will get the idea. Tommy is suppose to have a web site up in 2 months or so. I have some of the rattle blades but have not had a chance to use them yet. Nels |

| hi nels,
my buddy dan has had great success on lake erie with the rattle blades. like i said earlier, i think you need to go faster for them to be effective. he runs 1.5-1.7 m.p.h. here on saginaw bay though, i have better luck going slower to catch the bigger fish. but when you gotta crank it up i think its a great application.
i bet your right nels, the picture would have been better out of doors.
good fishin...adam |

Location: Midland, MI 48642 | I just found out that due to popular demand those blades Tommy made with the hole in them are going to hit the assembly block again in a real short time! Thought I would pass it along. Skeeter
