Product highlights
The
Drag Metal SS Blade is a
metal blade lure specifically designed for anglers seeking casting distance, responsiveness and maximum attractivity. Inspired by the well-known jig model from the same family, it features a refined silhouette that allows it to
cut through the air with very little resistance. Result: long, accurate casts whether fishing from the shore or from a boat.
Its engineered shape does more than improve aerodynamics: it also reduces lift in the water. The lure thus sinks quickly to the bottom, which makes it easy to use
light weights on fine lines, especially when
vertical jigging at great depths. You can maintain excellent contact with your line while keeping a discreet, natural presentation.
One of the major strengths of the Drag Metal SS Blade lies in its
Colorado blade. Positioned to spin and flash at the slightest movement, it produces intense light bursts similar to the reflections of a fleeing baitfish. This combination of vibration and visual flash triggers strikes from many predators, even when they are inactive or already pressured by other lures.
Thanks to its versatile design, this
blade jig adapts to many types of spots and techniques: fast cast-and-retrieve, sawtooth-style animations, steady retrieves close to the bottom or jerking with short vertical tugs. It's an effective lure for quickly prospecting large areas and locating active fish.

- Low lift in the water column, allowing rapid descent to deep zones.
- Easy to use with fine lines and light weights, ideal for vertical jigging.
- Suitable for various animation speeds: slow retrieval, fast jerks, diagonal or vertical fishing.
- Metallic finish engineered to reflect light and enhance a shimmering scale effect.
- Available in multiple variations to suit different environments and target species.
Advantages and key strengths
The first advantage of the
Drag Metal SS Blade is its ability to
cover large distances quickly. Its compact silhouette allows effortless long casts, even into the wind. This makes it particularly useful for reaching distant feeding fish or deep areas that are hard to access.
Next, its descent behavior in the water is a real asset. Where some blade lures tend to plane excessively, the Drag Metal SS Blade descends in a controlled manner, limiting current drift. This characteristic facilitates
deep water layer fishing while remaining precise on the targeted area.
Finally, the Colorado blade provides a very distinctive visual and vibratory signature. It increases the lure's ability to provoke strikes both during continuous retrieval and when animating with jerks. Even with wary or educated fish, the
light flashes and vibration of the blade can trigger reflex strikes.
Usage tips
To make the most of the
Drag Metal SS Blade, adjust your animation according to depth and fish activity. From shore, a long cast followed by a controlled fall and then a steady retrieve punctuated with small rod-tip tugs often triggers strikes during the fall phase.
From a boat, vertical fishing is particularly well suited. Let the lure descend to the desired depth, then animate it with
short tugs and pauses. Watch the line closely, as strikes often occur on the fall when the blade starts to spin and flash. Don’t hesitate to vary the rhythm and amplitude of animations to find the cadence that elicits the most reactions.
To optimize presentation, use
discreet leaders and appropriate line diameters. Also adapt rod strength and reel size to the fished environment and targeted species to achieve a balanced and comfortable setup.
Testimonials
