I need a little blade size help for 'Beetle spin" type lures

[flymoron]

I am going to try my hand at building jig spinners, I will be using 1/8 OZ jig heads almost exclusively (but varying just the hook size), if anyone keep help me on blade size I would appreciate it!
I will be using, colorado, indiana and willow leaf blades.

thanks!

Myself I have them in 0, 1 and 2. With an 1/8 oz. overall if I was making them for sale I'd go with a size 1

Haven't made one in years but if memory serves me, #3 Colorado.

Depends on how you intend on fishing them.
#2 or #3 if you’re intending on slow rolling them during cold water times , or a #1 if you intend on burning them fast retrieve .
I would think you could use a #2 as a compromise for doing both .

I use #0 and #1 for 1/32 Oz Roadrunners and pony heads in Willow leaf. 1/16 I use #1 for all type blades. You may be able to get away with #2 for 1/8, but know once you get to #2 size it’s larger. I am sure you don’t want any larger than that. For 1/8 I would forget the size #0!
