that is a good board to go to,
first thing that comes to mind is you are reeling in to slow.
second thing is the clevis may be to small for the wire you are using, there needs to be lots of slop between the wire and the clevis holes. also when holding your lure upright, the blad should be vitical along side the body of your lure.
to make your lure lighter, use plastic beads insted of brass.
If you can, post a pic of what you are making, If I can see it, I can probably tell you right off what the problem is just from the photo.
I think I have one I made laying around the house, I will see if I can find it and post a photo for you here.
