  • After a long season of fishing some of your bladed lures, like spinnerbaits and umbrella rigs, might need a tune-up. Changing the blades is a great way to bring lures back to life and save yourself money by not purchasing entirely new lures. Incredibly easy and inexpensive, replacing blades on older lures will get your tackle arsenal back in top-notch condition before the next fishing season. It also gives anglers the opportunity to customize baits with different color blades, sizes, and blade styles to create a unique presentation.
  • If you fish braided line long enough, at some point it will start to fade. But just because it has lost a bit of its factory color doesn't mean that it's gone bad or needs replacing.

Anglers can also experiment with different colors of dye and braided line combinations to match the environment they are fishing or create strike indicators for a variety of techniques.
