How do you get a blade lure?

With the trout, where it is OK to have the blade close to the surface, I often pull back on the rod tip to speed the blade up, then lower the rod tip to slow it down, so that the blade is retrieved in a fast/slow type motion. Strangely enough, most fish tend to hit the lure on the decline, when it is moving slowest.

How do you catch deep lake trout?
