I regularly use an 8 weight G-Loomis GL2 10ft W/ a 10 Lb tapered tippet. That particular day I was fishing with a friend that isn't a feather tosser. I was using a 9 ft medium heavy action G-Loomis GL3 spinning rod. After hours and hours of tossing bait, jigs and all other manner of gear, I finally hooked up with a size three homemade spinner. It's about 1/2 oz in weight and it was a blackened brass body and french blade w/ a small piece of holographic black tape on the inside of the blade.

I started making my own spinners this summer for steel-head. I just got to the point where I wasn't happy with anything commercially made. Most have a piss poor clevis design, the wrong type of blade and are poorly balanced. My success with spinners has increased two-fold since I started building my own.
