Not sure if you can view my post, sights and Sonics, page 2, basement baits.

 I simply use a piece of brass from hardware store. Get something from .032-.040 thickness. You could possibly make it out of aluminum or copper also, although the copper may wear quicker.

 Cut yourself a piece slightly less than a 1/4” wide, and about 3/4” long. Drill your holes for mounting, then make your L bracket.

 Though swivels work....IMO, there is just Tooooo much spin to the blade. You want the flip- flop!

 90 degree....Yes, I like easy!!!

Have Not thrown a tail rotating bait since "92". Get many reports of Big fish caught on My headbanger.  Heard of a Couple 40 pounders from Lac Suel.

Ask the Boss, Mr Worrall how many ski's he caught on his first Headbanger....think he told me Over 80.

Have a few Available if you want to add one to your Arsenal ;)

I'm not sure you need to be scared by some post. I would think there are many good opinions on this site, and some good crafters that offer their expertise. 

As far as Metals go. All metals offer some kind of usage for Baits and Musky, in this case. There has been many baits made with aluminums, coppers and Stainless. There was a bait made years ago called the Coppertail, or Badger tail which utilized copper. Many Buzz type baits, Aluminums, like topper stoppers,  and alike produced big time in the fishing industry. Brass also a very highly used metal that produces Squeaks and scrapes.

There is a bait I make I call top Buzz. Caught my longest fish today on it. The metals used, mostly Aluminum. The way I set this bait up, every 15-17 hours use, the props fail. Why, they simply where down, then I rewire and replace prop. This prop is wearing down from friction, which in turn produces squeaks, scrapes, and metals wearing in Harmony creating Sonics.

SO; there is a time and place for all metals incorporated with lures.

My first Headbangers I built were made with both Copper and Brass. I set out 4-6 baits for guides to test. Several years later, they were asking for the copper fin over Stainless and brass....Hmmm.

here R a few of my builds and props used. Delta's, Buzz blades...ect. 

Yes; even the Hog wobbler was customized. The joint has aluminim incorporated in the joint. Talk about some clicking sound:)...Along with the Brass rattles...this bait is a regular garbage can clicking along the roadbed:)

All metals R Options, Even Glass......and nothing to be afraid of:)
