I agree with Steelhead Addict. Buy Jed Davis' book on Steelhead and Salmon fishing with spinners. You will learn a tremendous amount and not be disappointed. I suggest purchasing your spinner wire from Mortac, and all your components for that matter. I've purchased the wire tool that Mortac sells but found it a waste of time and thought that regular old needle-nose pliers worked just as well and just as easy. Have used their spinner parts for several years tying them up all with pliers and have had great results. All I can say is read the book, buy the parts and you'll improve your fishing 10-fold.
