I gotta say the book by Jed Davis is a great book. I will also say that is what got me into this mes with spinners. I was just curious and scaned through it one day in Tumwater Sports. and next thing I know I was taking it home to learn more and now I'm catching fish and now I wanna make my own.
I have been to Mortac's page I also liked Fishermans Shack. I actually baught my stuff from them better prices and their product look like they are good quality. I will checking out some of these others. Andy Mathews told me about the Zig Zag lures and I will be checking them out soon.

thanx for the help I will let everybody know what I go with.

any other advice about wire and the tools to form it? or just about spinners?

If some of you don't use yer tools anymore then maybe you might wanan get rid of them? let me know I might be intrested.
