I picked up some various spinner parts and am attempting to put some together for winter steelies. I have the Jed Davis book and am following his instructions. I did however wonder about hooks. Jed says that he doesn't like to use Siawash single hooks. I have heard however that they will lead to losing less spinners. Anyone lean toward trebles or single points.
1)Does anyone have prefs on weights. I found some 1/4 and 1/5 bodies and I got some #5 blades. Will the two work together properly?
2)Also color is another factor. I picked up both nickel and brass as well as some pink colored tape.
I thought I would give spinner making a try. I enjoy making my own lures, but I never flyfish enough to use the flies I tie. I am "hooked" on spinner fishing since I caught my first summer steely this August ( a whopper too! ) on a #4 brass vibrax, and several other fish on various blue fox spinners.
