extra large cowbells

[mutt]

I am looking for a source for magnum blades to make some cowbells. I have seen some pictures of some on this site and am wondering if anyone can point me to a manufacturer or online store that sells them.  I have found the hammerhead site, are there any others.

 

Are these hammehead??

Does anyone have the size in inches that correspond to the blade sizes.  I assume the #5 is big but it doesn't say how big.

Lakeland tackle. Google it. They have an on line catalog.

FWIW, #5 Cowbells really throw out some drag.  I dont like them.  #4 is the biggest I go.  I dont really think the lakers care weather its a #5 or #4.

i used to fish large size cowbells years and years ago, but never liked the amount of drag they put on the line , over time I began searching for a better solution and for a couple of years used the Panther Martin attractors, they worked even better than the large cowbells and caught even more fish.

 

Then I came across the "grease traps" sold by Big Weenie Brand and they outperform even the Panther Martin attractors. If your after lake trout these things are incredible. Fish them with a Plazma spoon or a Spin n Glo and they outperform any other rig I ever tried for lake trout. I target lake trout a lot , the grease traps are lake trout killers. They are not cheap, but they work very very well.

grease traps and stinger rigs cacth fish but you spend alot of time to get them untangled. Ill stick with hammerheads

So you guys know I am fishing the west side of lake michigan. I curently run grease traps and smaller cow bell trolls, however I have seen some of the picture of trout and those giant bells and want to have every option available. Plus no one I know over here has a set. Please post more or if anyone wants to share techniques feel free to message me. We fish almost exclusivly flasher flies here.

Here is a couple of pigs caught the last couple years.  I will let the pictures do the talking.  I only run #5 Hammer Head Cowbells.  I have #4's but they rarely do better than the #5's.

I run two riggers. One 5' back from the rigger and the other 15' back. I run my spin n glows 36" behind the cowbells.
