Fathead Blades has been field testing and making vertical blades for 5 years now with great success .
The verticals blades hook with a coastlock snap directly to the downrigger weight then there is a crane swivel on top that your downrigger coastlock snap hooks into. Your downrigger release is above this either a Blacks release or a Chamberlin Release is what we recommend. You can run your lure anywhere from 2ft to 7 ft behind the blades. The blades are made from .025 aluminum the cable is 150lb test and the crane swivel and coastlock swivel are 350lb test.A lighter version in .020 aluminum is also available along with 2 other sizes a small and medium.The tape is holographic tape and has a sticky back to it plus another adhesive is used to get it to stay on the blade on occasion after many uses a small air bubble may appear under tape just take a pin and pop air bubble and tape will flatten right out.
