I don't see why that wont work. i do agree with the Colorado but don't hate indiana blades. This is not nearly as complicated as I made the triangle. I do need to get away from the treble hook. Good lookin spinner.
Got out of the sack this morning and the ground was covered with snow. Stayed in my jammies and worked a few jigs and on this........1/16 oz. lure body, 0.035 wire, #2 or 3 deep cup Colorado blade, #6 Gamakaka siwash hook. I'm going to all single hooks on my spinners. Before I used to hide a small treble in the tail as a stinger. I like Colorado blades because they spin at slow speeds. Sight fishing around wood got me hooked on those blades because I could control the depth much better over logs and brush. I just wonder if a panfish would straighten that bed and would it effectively reduce line twist.

That looks like a spinner you would see in the store. Great looking.

Not a thing wrong with Indiana blades...I used to fish trout in a stream that had lots of sunken trees. I'd swim a spinner around those logs. With Polaroids on I could watch the spinner rise and fall around the wood depending on the speed of the retrieve. I found Colorado's stayed spinning much easier than the others. I need to get out and test this spinner. Hardest thing I had to figure out when I tried single hooks is this. Too many times the single hook came back hung up on the twisted wire eye at 90*. The eye on the single hook was too small even with 0.024 wire. The siwash hook has a larger eye almost like a treble which allows it to swing free and come back straight inline.
While you guys are talking about blades, do any of you know what this blade is like?

Awesome spinner
The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
I never used them but it looks like it would make a spinner wobble. Tomahawk blades are similar. Could be they are designed for something like a walleye crawler harness. I've never seen them on an inline spinner. Never used them. When I tied crawler harnesses I use Colorado, Indiana and some willow blades. Willows are popular on Lake Erie.

That’s a great looking spinner. I think the bend will survive better than you think. Very good detail.

Well the addiction kicked in and and I messed up some wire. I bent .034 wire, plated chrome bead, clevis w/Indiana blade, 2 #/32 worm weights separated by a glow rubber oval bead, another plated chrome bead, yellow marabou and a #10 treble hook. I don't have a decent wire bender so it turned poorly but it might work as an mchech imitation. LOL

Thanks guys, now I just wish they made them a little smaller than the size 1. It's a lot larger than say a #1 Willow.
