Great post there...would like to try this as lures are a fortune. Where do you buy the beads, spoons/blades etc and what kind of wire do you use?

Hi , go online to Mchardys of carlisle for all parts needed
The wire is spinner wire ( Spring steel )
If you buy a wire former be SURE to get the original aluminium 1 & not the stainless steel 1
