well I use .062 wire, 5/16 solid brass beads, 1 3/8 (1/2 oz)body. Tie material onto either a 1/2 round bucktail coil or a 3/4 oz keel bucktail coil. The blades are .040 muskie spinner blades and .025 size 12 mega blades. Use 7/0 hooks for the flashabou bucktails and 5/0 hooks for the plain bucktail. Your guess is as good as mine on weight. Last week I took them out to the view along with the bucktail I purchases that cost me 25.00 bucks to see if I could tell a difference. No difference, I do think the ones I made may be a little heavier but I wont be taking any weight off. I was surprised how far I could actually cast them. You thinking to heavy or to light?
