Willow blade won't spin.

here is a helper for ya,

you dont have to use steel wire,

a heavy gage fishing line will work just fine. I make them that way too, "with out the heavy brass head"

for this you will need to know how to tie a snell knot and a loop knot.

here is a pic of one I made with a heavy gage fishing line. you can use any thing from 15 pound test to 75+ test fishing line.

as for the wire you have being stainless, looks can be deceiving - there are so many different grades of stainless, it looks like bailing wire to me, but I could be wrong.

Fortunatly there is a way to test it, grab your self a glass of rain water, cut a peice of wire and set it in the rain water, Let it set for a week, if it starts to rust it is not stainless.
