For you spinner-maker folks out there:
Do you prefer French blades or Colorado blades for river fishing for salmon and steelhead? It seems like many of the popular commercial brands (Mepps and Blue Fox) use French blades, but there are a few Colorado blade styles...
Thanks in advance.

Cheapskate:
At 1 time, I was making and selling spinners. Have lot's of spinner making stuff left:
1. bodies 2. beads, lot's of different colors 3. blades
Have gotten away from the need to "make a few bucks", so have lot's of stuff just sitting in boxes and bags.
If interested.........email me..........put "spinner stuff" in subject line, so I don't delete.

Freedom for me too Thanks for the correction in advance Eric. Think you'll find it works "better" in heavier flows than a Colorado of similar size.

If youwant really cheap prices on components, try Worth Company. They are a manufacturer (Pen Tac and Mor Tac are not)and spinners run about $.40 a piece. They usually sell in quantities of 1000, so get a bunch of friends to go in with you. They will sell any quantity you want, but of course, the price goes up the less you buy.
