One of the main reasons I havent bought into the Warblade is because of this exact idea.
The fish more than likely are going to attack the blade. If the blade is in parallel with the hook/meat of the lure, then your hookup ratio will be better. If the blade is BEHIND the hook, then you can imagine what that will do to your numbers. That's also why I think having a shorter trailer helps as well.....
