you can also buy the WTP products direct from their website if you want something more obscure. OE typically has the usual pinks, flame, glow in the dark and maybe yellow chart. Three River's selection is about the same. I know that Todd and Joe like them round like the spinner blade, but I typically buy them in the sheet packs and cut them in rectangular sections.

Fisherman's in Portland is another good source for tape.

GutZ...if you want to get a few different colors, order a ten pack of any #5 off the website but send an email, too, saying what you'd like...I can make up a combination of colors for you easily enough...

Nice pic, RR...that must have been a nice surprise when the ten pound coho he thought he hooked turned out to be that beast!

Fish on...

I made some spinners using lead worm sinkers as bodies. I also used a #4 French blade for the spinner. But the ones I made with the hoochies had a lot of trouble spinning. I was pretty disappointed. I might have to narrow down the weight I use or I might have to actually use a steel bearing between the clevis and body. I don't know what the answer is. I'm trying to figure out how to post a picture of my spinner. I have some other options for bodies, but I guess they will have to be made and tried out Thursday.

Here is the hoochie spinner that was having trouble actually spinning. Do any of you see any immediate issue with it?

Probably a bad clevis...they get bent easily.
