Description

Do you want to throw big baits, but don’t like how your shoulders feel the next day? Tie on an Olympian! You get the big water displacement and vortex of standard double 10 blades, but the tapered Olympic blades make them easier to throw! Not only that, but you can reel them in faster, so you’re more likely to get that reaction strike! Measuring in at 10 inches, and weighing 2.9oz, these are fit for a Greek god! Built on a .062 gauge wire and equipped with two 5/0 treble hooks, these are sure to be a new favorite! Want a smaller presentation? Check out our Haymakers

Field Notes

Best for covering water with a steady retrieve when fish are willing to react to flash and vibration. The double-blade profile is designed to displace a lot of water while still being easier to retrieve than oversized standard blades, making it useful for triggering strikes on faster retrieves.

Pros

  • Big water displacement and strong vibration
  • Easier to throw and retrieve than standard double 10 blades
  • Can be fished faster to provoke reaction strikes

Cons

  • Large profile can be tiring over a full day
  • Not ideal for very finesse-oriented or ultra-clear situations
