Nuggy, the blades I have dipped in laquer are the same as store bought ones.  Blades do get scratched when you use them and like store bought ones the shine does get duller.  For me, it is trying not to snag-up and lose it but it is difficult because when steelhead one trys to cover as much water as possible.

I am not sure what other coating there are.  I have seen brass and copper blades marked laquered in the stores so I assume laquer is the common coating.

Good to hear.  A little competition never hurts.  When light or river color makes fishing difficult, I always switch to my 50/50 spinner blades or spoons.

Yes, I would be interested in seeing it. How much did you pay for the whole package ?

An excellent deal!

$2 apiece for custom made units that would cost at least twice that in the store.

I've seen hooks like that before lets us know how they hood and hold.

Howdy folks, another update on my spinner spoon kit purchase. I was contacted by Joe at Rvrfshr products and apparently I didn`t need to pay the Washington State sales tax. He is sending the refund asap.

I didn`t ask for the refund as I didn`t really know about the sales tax implications. Thanks Joe!

Cheers

I think I'll try what  norm 2 said about the lacquer dip as my acidic, sweaty hands seem to take the finish off all my cheap colorados blades I made. At least I knew it would happen and only made up the swivel, split ring and hook part. Then I would put on the blade I wanted to use.
