Random quote: After about a half-mile the fella stopped and stooped over, with his hands on his thigh's to catch his breath, and the Game Warden finally caught up to him."Let's see yer fishin' license, boy," the Warden gasped.

I'm new at this and want to start by making my own leaders and some Musky straight line spinners. I have a couple of questions for those with much more experience:

Has anyone used the Twist-Weld leader wire and what do you think of it? I'm now making single strand leaders and that's a bunny, but also want to do stranded.

I've long favored the Mepps Lusox style Musky spinners (sizes #4 and #5) and have managed to get some original Lusox blades but need some weight forward blanks (want to try some ideas before I buy or make a mold for them). Does anyone sell the actual W.F. bodies or do you have to buy the mold from Do-It?

Thanks in advance,

Daffy

Keith, thanks for the offer. A few heads would be great. I have some #4 Lusox blades (including some that are 2 pc. and can be fanned open or left n the original shape or anywhere in between) and want to try some in single/double configs for a different "look".
I'll be happy to send you a check to cover postage and let you know how my efforts turn out. Sending a pm with my address.
