What are the most effective size blades?? I like #4 Indianas
-
Dont know the size I prefer as often I choose my spinner blade size and colour to match a specific water condition and the target species.
Do you use an indiana blade in a swivel spinner or are you talking inline spinners?

#3 & 4's Colorados
-
#4 colorado brass/copper is my favorite. Of course different condtitions will dictate different setups.
-
Just curious of where there are places where you can buy the materials needed to make your own blades and spinner?
-
Practically any tackle shops. All you need is spinner blades swivels and split rings.
-
And don't forget quality decent open-siwash hooks...
-
Gooey...I use Indianas on a split ring I've never used in-line spinners under a float .. I always liked the simple look of split ring blades

Saw a guy floatfishing Mepps couple of weeks ago on the Cap. He was just hammering the cohos.
-
I fish inlines as well as spoons from time to time under a float when I really want to slow down my presentation

Size 4 french blades for spinning in Tidal Fraser River. Silver is excellent for fall coho, gold is fantastic for spring bull trout. :)
Size 3 when fishing in local rivers.
Size 2 for rainbow trout in local lakes.

I'll be trying some size 6's for northern pike this winter after being criticized by a few Danish locals for using small blades for pikes. ;D
Berry's Bait and Tackle carries assorted items for making inline spinners.
The other day I was at Reaction Fly and Tackle (http://www.reactionbaits.com), Terry has these tiny inline blades made up that I think will be fantastic for cutthroat trout. :D He also has some inline spinner components, some that I have never seen before actually. :o
