Glamour Shad Tandem Indiana Spinnerbait
Balanced Flash. Stronger Vibration. Broad Versatility.
The Glamour Shad Tandem Indiana Spinnerbait combines a smaller front Colorado blade with a trailing Indiana blade to create a versatile balance of flash, vibration, lift, and retrieve control.
The Indiana blade produces more vibration and water displacement than a Willow while retaining more flash and less resistance than a Colorado. Paired with the smaller front blade, it creates a fuller, more noticeable blade signature without the heavy drag of a Double Colorado configuration.
This makes the Tandem Indiana an excellent all-purpose choice for stained water, mixed cover, changing weather, and situations where fish need more vibration than a Tandem Willow provides without moving all the way to maximum thump.
Every Glamour Shad is hand-built in the USA with premium components selected for balance, durability, and dependable performance.

Why Fish a Tandem Indiana?
The Tandem Indiana sits near the center of the traditional spinnerbait spectrum.
It provides:
- More vibration than a Tandem Willow
- More flash and speed than a Double Colorado
- Less resistance than two Colorado blades
- Dependable blade startup at slow to moderate speeds
- Enough lift to work shallow cover without becoming difficult to control
- A broad blade signature that performs across changing conditions
For anglers who want one spinnerbait configuration capable of handling a wide range of water clarity, retrieve speeds, and cover types, the Tandem Indiana is one of the most versatile options in the Glamour Shad lineup.
The Indiana Blade Advantage
The Indiana blade combines characteristics of both Willow and Colorado blades.
Its elongated, rounded shape creates a wider flash pattern than a Colorado while producing more vibration and water displacement than a Willow. It runs with moderate resistance, giving the angler a noticeable pulse through the rod without creating excessive lift.
That balanced performance makes it especially useful when conditions are not clearly suited to a flash-dominant or vibration-dominant spinnerbait.
The trailing Indiana blade delivers:
- Strong flash with a broader visual pattern
- Noticeable vibration at moderate retrieve speeds
- Better slow-speed response than a Willow blade
- Less lift and drag than a Colorado blade
- Consistent performance in clear to stained water
Layered Tandem-Blade Output
The front blade adds a secondary pulse and additional water disturbance ahead of the larger Indiana blade.
Together, the blades create overlapping vibration and flash that give the spinnerbait a fuller presence in the water. This layered output helps fish track the bait around cover, in wind, and when visibility begins to fall.
The tandem configuration also helps maintain activity when the bait changes direction, contacts cover, or briefly slows during the retrieve.
Controlled at Multiple Retrieve Speeds
The Tandem Indiana performs well across a broad retrieve range.
At moderate speeds, the Indiana blade produces balanced flash and vibration without excessive resistance. Slowed down, it continues generating enough pulse to remain noticeable around cover or along the bottom.
This allows anglers to adapt the same bait throughout the day:
- Burn it over shallow grass
- Roll it beside laydowns and docks
- Retrieve it steadily along windy banks
- Slow it down around deeper cover
- Maintain control through current and changing depth
Worth Company Premium Blades
Every Glamour Shad Tandem Indiana Spinnerbait is equipped with premium Worth Company blades selected for consistent shape, finish, and rotation.
Available blade finishes may include:
- Nickel
- 24K gold-plated
- Copper
- Metallic
- Painted finishes
These options allow anglers to adjust flash, contrast, and visibility based on water color, light level, and forage.
Blade sizing is matched to each head weight to maintain proper balance, reliable rotation, and true tracking.
Sampo Ball-Bearing Swivel
The trailing Indiana blade is mounted on a genuine Sampo ball-bearing swivel.
Its low-friction construction allows the blade to start quickly and keep turning throughout the retrieve, including at slower speeds, after contact with cover, and during changes in direction.
Reliable rotation ensures the bait continues producing flash and vibration without requiring excessive retrieve speed.
Weight-Matched Wire Diameter
Each Glamour Shad uses a stainless-steel wire diameter matched specifically to the selected head weight.
- 3/8 oz: .030 wire
- 1/2 oz: .035 wire
- 3/4 oz: .035 wire
- 1 oz: .040 wire
Matching the wire to the head weight provides the correct balance of vibration transmission, strength, flexibility, and control.
The lighter wire on the 3/8-ounce version transfers additional vibration and movement. Larger models use heavier wire to provide the stability and strength required for the increased head and blade size.
Lifelike Custom-Painted Head
The Glamour Shad head features a sculpted baitfish profile, detailed custom paint, and premium 3D eyes.
Its shape adds realism while also helping stabilize the spinnerbait and keep it tracking upright throughout the retrieve.
The balanced design helps the bait run true when it contacts cover, encounters current, or moves through changes in retrieve speed.
Hand Wire-Tied Custom Skirt
Every custom silicone skirt is secured by hand with wire instead of relying on a standard rubber collar.
The wire-tied construction helps prevent the skirt from slipping, rotating, or unraveling. It also eliminates a rubber collar that can eventually dry out, rot, or break.
This preserves the intended skirt profile and provides consistent movement throughout repeated use.
Gamakatsu Hook
Each Glamour Shad is built around a premium Gamakatsu hook selected for sharpness, strength, and dependable penetration.
Whether a fish strikes beside cover, follows the bait into open water, or commits during a slower retrieve, the hook provides the confidence needed to complete the hookup.
Double-Wire Trailer Keeper
The integrated double-wire trailer keeper secures soft-plastic trailers from both sides.
This helps prevent the trailer from sliding down the hook shank, reduces tearing, and keeps the plastic properly aligned behind the skirt.
The result is less time adjusting trailers and more fishing from each piece of soft plastic.
Hand-Built in the USA

Each bait is assembled specifically for your order using premium components chosen for balance, consistency, and on-the-water performance.
