My latest,
Not being able to do much fishing lately, and after reading a post from BigBee138 looking for some of these, I decided to put some together myself. Hopefully I will get to give them a try soon. I nearly went blind assembling those split rings to the willow leaf and then to the swivel. What y'all think, pros and cons please
EDIT: I just realized I didn't put any measuring device in the pics. The jigs are 1/32 oz and the blades are 3/4" long.

Like the jigs, but i think the wire form, swivel and snapring is too big for the blade, and you will have trouble getting them to run right. But try' um and lets us know how they work.

I like them, but can you buy smaller wire (shorter and more compact)? I have been thinking about looking that up to see and just have not yet. I have tried some on my jigs some and caught more bass than crappie.
If they make one a little smaller (talking about the wire part especially) I may have to try a few I buy wholesale from a blade Mfg so I guess I need to look in my book, LOL! Just been too busy lately.

Mike and Skip, I bought these from Jann's. They were the smallest available. I can't look at them until I go next door, but in real life I don't think they look a large as they do in the photos. The blade is 3/4" and the upper arm is only 5/8", but you're right, they sure look large in the photos. I still haven't had a chance to go to the water with them and see how the run but if they don't work quite right I may swap the blades for a larger size. Thanks for the remarks.
BigBee I sent you a PM.
