Sorry. I'm new on the site. I meant to ask a question of Mr N Smith but I placed it as a separate post (#2). I was curious to know his (your) take on French blades.
What about French blades? These have been most productive for me in the Pacific Northwest for years. I particularly like the deep-cupped, heavy models (although these have been pretty spendy) when drifting for Steelhead and Salmon.
