Terminator’s New Hybrid Blade...You’ve Never Seen Anything Like It...and Neither Have The Bass.

Call it “different”. Call it “unique”. Oreven call it “strange-looking”. Terminator is calling their latest titanium-framed invention the Hybrid Blade because it functions like across between a buzzbait and a spinnerbait. Whatever the case, you’ve never seen anything like it, and neither have the bass.

Rob Kilby, an 11-time BASSMaster Classic®, and 8-time FLW Championship qualifier, calls Terminator’s new Hybrid Blade “the best kept secret in bass fishing”.

Rob Kilby has been secretly building the shoe horn-shaped blade out of scrap aluminum from lawn chair arms in his garage for more than a year now. He explains that like most great lures, necessity was the mother of invention. “I needed a tool that would serve many of the same purposes as a buzzbait or spinnerbait …BUT …do things that neither a spinnerbait or buzzbait would do,”said Kilby, who is fast approaching the magical $1 million career earnings mark.

Let’s face it …changing skirt or blade colors is a rather superficial innovation …but when you redesign a bladed-bait to achieve discernable and unique changes in sound, vibration and flash …then indeed you’ve achieved true advantageous innovation. And that’s exactly what pro Rob Kilbyand Terminator have achieved here.

The veteran pro further explains, “Unlike a buzzbait, which requires a very slow retrieve for best results, the Hybrid Blade works best when retrieved at a fast pace. At fast speeds, the Hybrid Blade splashes and sputters on the surface with a sound unlike any other lure. Just as impor-tantly, the Hybrid Blade causes the skirt to shake and quake beneath the water’s surface. Unlike a standard buzzbait, the Hybrid Blade makes the skirt dance, and I believe that has a lot to do with why they eat it so well.”

The Hybrid Blade is rather "idiot proof" as well, because even if you allow the lure to slip under the surface like a spinnerbait, the 90-degree bend on the end of the blade displaces tons of water and creates a bunch of vibration. Plus, the Hybrid Blade is ideal when used like a spinnerbait to ‘wake’ or ‘bulge’ a blade just under the surface, which is especially effective in autumn. The Hybrid Blade makes this method really easy because of the resistance and water displacement it creates.

Kilby best sums up his confidence in this new blade by saying, “what impresses me most about the Hybrid Blade, is that after 22 years of fishing professionally, I’ve got a tool that serves many of the same purposes as a spinnerbait or buzzbait …two very proven lures …yet with discernable differences in action and sound that fish are not nearly as conditioned to as either of those two lures.”

The Hybrid Blade is attached to Terminator’s patented and proven SnapBack™ nickel titanium frame and a proven 3/8oz. Terminator T-1Buzzbait style head. It will be available in four colors.
