• Quantity: 8 baits per pack
• Material: PVC compound, replacing the earlier rubber material
• Scent: Keitech's strong squid scent
• Rigging: Fine Guard or Mono Guard jig head, Guard Spin Jig trailer, or drop shot, as recommended by Keitech

Choose a presentation and color

Try a jig head when you want to work the bait near bottom, or a drop shot to position it above the sinker. Check hook fit before rigging so the body sits straight and the hook point has clearance.

Listed colors include Black, Sahara Olive Flake, Green Pumpkin Pepper, Green Pumpkin Blue, Blue Back Cinnamon, Brown Purple, Green Pumpkin Jelly, and Watermelon PP Red Flake. Begin with a forage-matching color and compare a contrasting option when needed. Use the selector for exact labels and availability.

3 Tackle Express Tips

1. Check the rig beside you. Watch the bait as you move the rod. Straighten the body if it twists or sits crooked on the hook.
2. Work the pause. Alternate a short movement with a pause. Adjust pause length before changing both your color and rig.
3. Keep track of depth. On a drop shot, set the hook-to-sinker distance for where you want the bait to sit, then adjust as bottom cover changes.

Picasso Willow Blades give you replacement and customization options for compatible bladed lures, with Nickel and Gold finishes in sizes 1, 2, 3, 3.5, and 4. Split rings are included, making these a useful addition to a lure-maintenance kit when you want to replace a blade or compare a different size or finish without replacing the entire bait.

Refresh the Blade, Keep the Lure

A missing or damaged blade does not always mean retiring a favorite lure. Start by matching the original blade's size, attachment, and clearance, then check whether the included split ring suits the connection. These are individual lure components, not a complete lure or a guarantee of fit on every spinnerbait or umbrella rig.

For customization, change one feature at a time. Compare Nickel with Gold while keeping size the same, or change size while keeping finish consistent. That makes it easier to judge how the completed lure looks and runs instead of changing several variables together.

Match the Setup Before You Cast

Use the size number as a selection reference, not a measurement in inches. The listing does not specify blade length or width, so compare the physical fit with your existing hardware before installing. A larger blade needs enough room to move without contacting neighboring blades, wires, or the lure body.

Best for: freshwater bass lure maintenance, replacement-blade projects, and tuning compatible spinnerbait or umbrella-rig presentations. Choose these when you need a willow blade in a listed size and finish. If you need a ready-to-fish bait, a complete lure is the more direct choice.

Test your finished lure with a short, visible retrieve before casting farther. Start at your normal steady-retrieve speed, check that the blade moves freely, and repeat the test when changing speed. Select the final size and finish for the water and presentation you are fishing rather than assuming one combination is best in every light or clarity condition.

For the Rest of Your Umbrella-Rig Kit

If you are building a broader schooling-baitfish setup, compare the Picasso School E Rig Sweet 16, which uses a multi-tier willow-blade layout. For hookless bait positions, consider Picasso Smart Mouth Dummy Jig Heads. These are related rigging options, not confirmation that every replacement blade size fits every attachment.

Pick the Finish and Pack You Need

• Willow-style lure blades.
• Nickel and Gold finish options.
• Five listed sizes: 1, 2, 3, 3.5, and 4.
• Split rings included.
• Sizes 1 and 2: ten blades per pack.
• Size 3: four blades per pack.
• Sizes 3.5 and 4: three blades per pack.

Tackle Express Tips

• Keep one original blade as a reference when replacing parts, and compare size and connection clearance before assembly.
• Check that the split ring closes fully after installation and that the blade moves freely at its attachment.
• Store sizes and finishes separately so you can reproduce a combination that works without guessing which blade you used.

Before You Replace a Blade

Designed specifically to come through grass, without hanging up or losing effectiveness, the Beast Hunter coordinates the size of the lure’s body and thickness of its sides with the length and width of the lip. On 14-pound fluorocarbon it dominates the 10 to 13 foot range. With a very natural wobble – not too wide, not too tight – a subdued knocking sound not to turn off spooky bass, the Beast Hunter is a power bait that doesn’t overpower the situation.

Its design incorporates a small fixed weight inside, which maximizes diving depth while preventing the lure from tumbling and getting fouled on the cast. The sidewalls are 2.0mm thick which distributes the overall weight proportionately throughout the body enabling it to stop quicker as it doesn’t glide forward. The diving angle is also tuned so when you come in contact with the weeds, softly lift up on the rod.
The Beast Hunter will back slide and glide right over the vegetation. Every aspect of this lure is made to maximize performance.

LENGTH:　67 mm, 2.64 inches
WEIGHT:　23 g, ¾ oz.
HOOKS: #2
DEPTH: 10-13 feet (on 14 lb. fluorocarbon)
CLASS:　Mid-range Crankbait
