Finally some success. I got one to spin, only I have to add more weight in order for it to ride lower. Since I have to reel it in fast, I comes too far up, I didn't use one of the brass bodies, but only beads. I polished the wire with polishing cream, did what you said about the oblong hole, and added a bigger (bigger than my brass hollow) bead at the top. It's probably the first "jeweled" spinner in the world, since my sister gave me a faceted glass bead from a bracelet that she bought to get the beads off. [laugh]
I didn't know that a person can substitute with fishing line. Good thing to know. I'll have to try the wire in water. It's certainly hard wire, and that = hard to work with. Thanks again for your help! I hope to catch a fish the size of the one in the picture one of these times. [
] I haven't had very great luck since I have started fishing again. We used to have a pond with some "tilapia" in it, so I used to catch there, although I can't tell how big the biggest one I have caught was, I was small back then.... Claudio
