Cordell Gay Blade 1/4 Chrome Blue

The Cordell Gay Blade 1/4 Chrome Blue is a versatile blade bait engineered to trigger strikes from white bass, crappie, largemouth bass, and other schooling fish. Its flat-head design produces a tight, pulsating vibration that mimics the frantic movements of an injured baitfish—the kind of signal that predatory fish key on when feeding. Whether you're working shallow flats, drop-offs, or mid-water columns, this lure gives you options to adapt your presentation to where the fish are positioned.

What sets the Gay Blade apart is its dual line-tie configuration. That flexibility means you can fish it as a traditional cast-and-retrieve lure for covering water quickly, or switch gears and work it vertically like a jigging spoon to probe deeper structure or suspend it in the strike zone. The 1/4-ounce weight keeps it in the compact, easy-casting range that works well in both confined spaces and open water, making it a practical choice for bank anglers, kayakers, and small-boat anglers alike.

Chrome Blue finish combines light-reflecting metallics with natural blue tones—a proven color for generating flash and creating silhouette contrast that fish recognize in various light and water-clarity conditions. Keep one or two in your tackle bag as a go-to option when schooling fish are active but finicky about bigger presentations.
