Quick take
Green metal trolling blade that spins on a shaft to create flash and vibration to attract fish while trolling or casting lures.
The Shasta Tackle 3136 is a 4-inch green sling blade, a slim dodger-style blade with one end cupped and the other tapered. Anglers reach for a blade like this when trolling, where its streamlined shape keeps the water moving around it. At this size it is an easy addition to a tackle box for panfish and bass.
Best for
- Trolling behind spoons or diving plugs to add flash appeal
- Saltwater jigging with this blade rigged above the main lure
- Summer lake trolling for pike and muskie around deep structure
Skip if
- You avoid flash in clear water; blade is too visible
- You fish only from shore; blade works best when towed
Strengths
- Spinning blade creates pulsing flash that amplifies visibility
- Green color produces natural light patterns in bright sun
- Lightweight blade works at slow troll speeds
Trade-offs
- Line twist develops with extended trolling; use a swivel
- Blade vibration can tangle with other terminal tackle if not careful
- Primarily a trolling aid; limited casting utility on short line

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
